LOVE
Love refers to a variety of different
feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection" the unselfish loyal and
benevolent concern for the good of another". It may also describe compassionate and
affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.
Ancient Greeks identified four forms of love: kinship or familiarity (in Greek, storge), friendship (philia),
sexual and/or romantic desire (eros), and self-emptying or divine love (agape) Modern authors have distinguished
further varieties of romantic love. Non-Western traditions have also
distinguished variants or symbioses of these
states. This
diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings
involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to
other emotional states.
Love in its
various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central
psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts. Love may be understood as a function to keep
human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of
the species.
