Meaning of Love๐โค๏ธ
Why are so many of always wondering what the meaning of love is? Is it out of fear of uncertainty in a relationship? Or is it because we ourselves have been accused of not showing love for someone? And why is it that, even when we donโt fully understand what exactly love is, we tend to make decisionsโgood and badโbased on love? ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ DEFINING โLOVEโ๐ IN DIFFERENT VARIANTS Love is one of the most profound emotions we experience as humans. Itโs bigger than us, meaning, though we can invite it into our lives, we do not have the control over the how, when and where love starts to express itself. Maybe thatโs why 72% of peopleย **believe**ย inย **love at first sight**. Sometimes, love truly does strike like a bolt of lightening to the chest, and you arenโt prepared for it. https://www.statisticbrain.com/online-dating-statistics/ https://www.eharmony.com/love-at-first-sight/ Since love is inherently free, we spend nights tossing and turning in an attempt to understand what it is, and how to know if we have it. How do you define something so uncontrollable and versatile? Thatโs the tricky thing about love, we can feel it in a variety of different statesโwhen weโre happy, sad, angry, confused or excitedโand our attitudes about love can range from affectionate love, to infatuation and pleasure. We even use love as an action, as a force to keep our relationships with partners, or friends and family, together. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ The ancient Greeks used seven words to define the different states of love we can experience: **Storage**: natural affection **Philia**: friendship **Eros**: sexual and erotica **Agape**: unconditional, divine love **Ludus**: flirting **Pragma**: committed, married love **Philautia**: self love ***THANKS FOR READING.*** ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
