We ALL want Love, so what is Love? (40)
HotrodLarrys: The Love that we all desire took me by surprise a Few years ago. I didnt Understand what Love even was, and the different TYPES OF LOVE.
Just wonder how many have understanding of it , or should we start learning,
These are Greek words that describe the different types of Love 1. Agape
2. Eros
3. Philia
4. Storge
These are all different types of Love that should be understood, before becoming too serious, Understanding these types of Love, will help many in understanding relationships
This is just for Learning, Sharing, and understanding Love, in four terms, or Stages of Love.
I am not a pro so any help explaining would be appriciated

at the beginning of the relationship you have eros love, then with the years you get phillia love, then you get agape love, fraternal love and friendly love.....we must know all this kind of love no forgeting the eros one,,,

Hi Larry, Happy Easter. How's the work on the house going?
You are doing a great job. Back to the topic.
I think we can study about love all we want but until it
hits us right between the eyes and in our hearts then we
may begin to understand it a wee bit. Of course I am talking
about love between 2 people who will be together for life.
As you stated there are different types of love. I do not love
my kids, grand-kids, family and friends the same way I would
love my life partner.

These philosophies of love apply to more than just our relationships, they color all of our life and how we live it. If you want love in your life, live it in love...love of your job or career, love of yourself, love of whatever you see God as, love of all humanity, love of all around you. The more love you send out, the more you get back. You also attract more positive people into your life because you are more positive.
Love is an energy vibration that is part of God/Universal Energy, and we can all tap into it for more when we need to be lifted up.
How does this apply to relationships? If you're living a positive life filled with all of this love, and it flows out of you naturally like this, then that also colors your relationships because you're more positive and loving and have attracted the same to you, thereby getting the relationship we all hold as ideal.

------ This thread is Archived ------
thanks for the info Larry ,but I know what love is , it comes from the heart. (of course it is really our minds but you know what I mean) and there is nothing that one can do to stop it....

HotrodLarrys: Now to determine how to separate Love from Lust???
It's hard to do that at times, Larry, because lust is definitely part of romantic love. I think time shows us the difference. The only times I know for sure that it's only lust are when there's nothing to attract me in any way other than the physical. If I have nothing in common with a man, but heat up just thinking about him, that is purely lust. It's rare, though, that we can determine this from the beginning. Usually, one can tell with hindsight, though. Why? Because when we're attracted to someone physically and considering a physical relationship, we also feel something at first in our heart, too. It will feel like we're falling in love. I think that's why I like the concept of online dating. You get to know a person, develop a relationship and discuss things to know if there's a chance of truly loving them, and then you meet and see if the physical lust and chemistry is there as well. But the love part comes without the lust part initially here.

Lust...when it's all
True! Love is out going concern toward the other person, NOT JUST SELF,,, When it is all about Me, Me,Me, That is selfish, is not Love, But when they care for you, and your well being equil to theirself.
It is the way of GIVE, not GET! which is selfish!

I am familiar with the first 3, Larry (eros, agape, and philia), but have never heard the word "storge" and did not see it mentioned in the link you posted. Did I miss something?
Here in Greece, the distinction is clear between the different types of love. Generally, the words "agape" and "eros" are most often misunderstood or confused by others, but a Greek would never confuse the two.
Interestingly, the word "philia" (a friendship kind of love) is a root of many of our words (as so many Greek words are). For example, any word that ends in "phile"....Anglophile, xenophile, even p*dophile...all reference a certain closeness or bond with a group, healthy or not. Also, consider "philanthropist"... whereas "anthropos" means, vaguely, "people"...a philanthropist is a friend to people, if you will. God, I love etymology (also a Greek word, the first 3 syllables meaning "true sense" and the last 2 meaning "word", again roughly translated.

Love and lust are so Clearly defined, but are also mind boggling, and i feel the somewhat overlap, from meeting someone , to going deeper. Can be confusing at times so when i am confused I look at,
Love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, love is not selfseeking ect"" '' ''' ''' ''
Looking at this helps me to be more certain, of my own deceptional thoughts, This helps me druidess, and thanks again 4 post
