What is love?

Have you ever thought to think what love is? I'm sure you think about the lovey dovey feelings you get when someone gives you a kiss or gives you a hug. typically we think about the romantic side of love and the emotional aspects of love. This type of love in Greek terms is actually called Eros, which is the emotional and romantic part of being in love. Something that should really come last in a relationship. Why? Wouldn't you hate it if down the road you realized what that person was actually like? Probably. There are three other terms used in the Greek terminology and they are Philia, Storge, and Agape. Philia love is the friendship you form or otherwise known as brotherly love, the State Philadelphia is known as the brotherly love state. Storge can be described as the love a parent has for their child. Some might think this is a weird comparison but try to dive deeper and see that a love that a parent has for their child is always evolving over time. Lastly is Agape, this is a more general type of love and can be towards complete strangers. Agape is described as doing service for one another. The four Greek terms are so important in having a strong relationship with people and even your companion. The latter three terms I discussed should always come first in finding the right companion for you, Eros will always come naturally after you've built a strong basis of true love. When dating try to remember the four Greek terms, if that person goes straight for Eros then chances are it is more of a lustful desire rather than a common destination for true love.
