What is love ?
What is love
When do we love
Did you knew Love has six forms but there are more different facettes of it?

Love has so many countless meanings ...
We feel love for something to drink and to eat
We feel love if we fall in awe if we watch something that takes our breathe away

Love is patient and kind. It bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. It does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, . . . hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Such love “never fails” in that it will never cease to exist. Indeed, it can grow stronger over time. And because it is patient, kind, and forgiving, it is “a perfect bond of union.” People can be said to love an object, principle, or goal to which they are deeply committed and greatly value. For example, compassionate outreach and volunteer workers' "love" of their cause may sometimes be born not of interpersonal love but impersonal love, altruism, and strong spiritual or political convictions.

People can also "love" material objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding or otherwise identifying with those things. If sexual passion is also involved, then this feeling is called paraphilia. A common principle that people say they love is life itself.

An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love of food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment.Love is considered to be both positive and negative, with its virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, as "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another" and its vice representing human moral flaw, akin to vanity, selfishness, amour-propre, and egotism, as potentially leading people into a type of mania, obsessiveness or codependency.It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals. In its various forms, love 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 has been postulated to be a function that keeps human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.
Ancient Greek philosophers identified six forms of love: essentially, familial love (in Greek, Storge), friendly love or platonic love (Philia), romantic love (Eros), self-love (Philautia), guest love (Xenia) and divine love (Agape). Modern authors have distinguished further varieties of love: unrequited love, empty love, companionate love, consummate love, infatuated love, self-love, and courtly love.

if we are angry we show a side of Love
if we are sad we show a side of Love
if we have fear we show a side of Love
if we are thoughtful we show a side of Love
if we share and with it we care is it a side of Love

Love is like an Iceberg we only see the Top but hardly the whole Iceberg
Love includes so many characteristics
Without Love there is no Acceptance and Confidence, Courage and Faith, Hope and Gratitude, Compassion and Empathy,Happiness and Joy,Kindness and Respect,Regret and Humility,Humanity and Trust,Passion and concern, Connection and togetherness, Interest and a kind of fear ( example fear to lose someone we really love or to hurt someone or ourself etc.) Thankfulness and gratefulness…,enthusiasm and so endless much more…

If we don´t or wouldn´t love we also would never be disappointed, we would never know what hate is because if we love the truth we hate to lie as example, we would never fall in depressions, never feel frustrated if we gave so much but there is never a thankfulness to feel.we would never be curious, never feel angry and sad if we got hurted, never start to doubt because we got betrayed and wounded so deeply that to build trust to someone else is closely impossible….without love we wouldn´t know grief because who doesn´t falls in grief if we lose someone because of death… if we wouldn´t love we wouldn´t fight against injustice.

Real Love never causes harm. ☮️
