HotrodLarrys: Because You CHOSE to love that Dog unconditionally when You Got it, and it also chose to love you, Many dogs dont choose to Love You, they choose to bite your arm off, Lol..

and did Your American Heritage Dictionary tell you that their are 4 Types of Love????
and explain the types of Love?

Only saying that I have went into great Depth of this study, In the past, so I could have Greater Understanding...

But Cheers to you for Looking at the surface meaning anyway..
so I will share...

Love Branchs out in Four Different catagories, and four types of love....Eros Love, Phileo Love, Storge Love, and Agape Love

1. Eros= Romantic
2. Phileo= Friendship
3. Storge= Affectionate
4. Agape= Unconditional


So in your opinion would the great love of your life be comprised of all four tyes inclusivly.

I would say it starts at the friendship Love, Phileo, and progresses to Higher levels of Love as time goes on, Maybe this will help,

Haven't read that Larry....

But I would have thought that one would have to spend some time with the significant other....to fall in love....

Thats why romances happen at a place of work, thru dating someone over time perhaps, a sports situation, sometimes, maybe, the internet.... just a thought..

This question started me thinking.... hmmm Love is different based on the culture and through the language of that nation.

For example the Inuits (Eskimos of Canada) have 10 or more different words and meaning for snow - it is an intrical part of their environment and life. So too, must be the meaning for the word and feelings of love.

Greece, one of the centers of enlightened civilization would express love differently than another country and culture. Even perhaps have a different feeling within various different Greek communities.

France, Spain and other European countries with a language known as the romance languages have a great many ways to express romantic love. Is it a different love?

group hug

And ultimately would learning a new language and living in a new community enhance or change the feelings and experience of love?

I am thinking yes! That's why I am visiting Scotland!

Love has a way of creeping up when you least expect it and thumpin you upside your head! It also has a way of turning your life upside down, just when you fool yourself into beleieving you have everything in perfect order! wine

Calliopesgirl: THe scientists say that we are "programmed already in our hard-drive" by those kind of people we are attracted to and fall in love with.


I have that feeling too. I wish I had a different program on my hard drive, ha ha! I have obviously bee programmed to fall for the people who are not interested in me, but then some people have been programmed to fall for me, but I was not interested. The question then is, can we overwrite the program or we must live with it? Then many of us will never have a chance. blues

It happens, just not while were looking for it, kind of creeps up on you when you least expect it.

pikengren: usually when you aren't looking for it.
almost always.

not when you lie to yourself,
and tell yourself you aren't looking,
but when you really truly and honestly
aren't looking.

i think we put out a different vibe when we aren't looking
that makes us more attractive.


I just think the opposite - if you are not looking, it means, you have given up. So, you give out a vibe that you don't want love. How can it happen that someone will be attracted to a person who does not care to love or be loved? There is a contradiction in this claim I think. confused

It does not make sense, why when you least expect? Although, it does not really matter, whether you expect or not. It may happen when you not expect, it may happen when you expect or not happen at all. I think people invent correlations that do not exist to explain things they don't understand. dunno That said, many things may happen when you expect them least, very bad things too. So, falling in love may happen just in the same way. As well as a loss of job, or accident or whatever.

Oops, It sent to quickly last time, Lol

Thanks For Your responce, I dont feel it is a DIFFERENT LOVE, tho thheir are phisical cultural difference, the reaso that was quoted From the Encyclopedia, in GREEK LAUNGUAGE, is it was posted that way in Biblicial times, in Greek and Hebrew, so The Definition, is Natirally in greek, because they have went back in time, to the biblicial sence of Love, according to the Encyclopedia.... Thast whay it is referenced back to the greek launguage in the Encyclopediaswink
So Yes different lands have cultural differences, their is one love for all and over all the same, sent by One God, One Baptism, One Love! as the In depth search shows, Its One Love, of 4 types...In My opinion! Tho Thanks for Your response and Thought time.teddybear

I thought, was well known to the population,for MOST English speaking countries,that the language they speak and write is 1/4 Greek.

HotrodLarrys: Do we Search it, and Find it?

Or is Love a Choice from within every Individual?


('irish'); ('good luck');

To love and be loved I think is a basic need although it is a choice on how we go out into the world to get that need met. Isn't it the most ideal thing when two people choose the same kind of love together?

Happy St. Paddy's Day for yesterday.
