February is the month most often associated with love. We start seeing cupids and hearts in the stores and begin thinking of what to give the one we love. Valentines become availble in January for sending to loved ones in February. This is a good month to think about what real love is.
There are three kinds of love.
Eros-This is erotic love. It is the first stage of a romantic relationship. It can be felt when you don't even know the person who is the object of this love. It is a physical love centered on self.
Philos-This love is based on a friendship between two people. It is based on give and take. It is a mental love that is still centered on self but also the other person.
Agape-This is totally selfess love. It is love given without expectation of recieving any benefit in return. It has no conditions and benfits the one who is loved not the one who loves. This is Spiritual love.
