The English word "love" can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection
- ("I love my mother")
to pleasure
- ("I loved that meal").
It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment.[1]
-It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] As well, it may describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.[3]
Interpretations
-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).[4][5]
-Modern authors have distinguished further varieties of romantic love.[6]
- Non-Western traditions have also distinguished variants or symbioses of these states.[7]
-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.[8]
-Love may be understood as a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.[9]
