 The Three Forms of Love
|
The reason makes me to write about this topic was another topic I have read in this board few days ago and I didn't have the time to search and respond. However this is my intake on the issue. I might be wrong or whatever, but this is what I am thinking..
In my understanding there are 3 forms of love . I am going to define each of them as I understand them. Here we go:
Sexual Love
Such love may involve sexual pleasure. Nevertheless, it is love rather than sexual lust or unbridled sexuality if, in addition to the need or want involved, there is also some impulse to give pleasure to the persons thus loved and not merely to use them for our own selfish pleasure.
Non-sexual love
When no sexual desire and impulse is involved in our relation to another person that we say we love, we have the form of friendship. We like others for virtues in them that we admire; and because we admire or like them, we love them in the sense of wishing to act for their good and to enhance it by whatever benefits we can confer upon them. This does not exclude obtaining self-satisfaction from such love. It may not be totally altruistic. A friend whom one loves in this way is an alter-ego. We love him or her as we love ourselves. We feel one with them. Example: 1-Friendship of spouses, persists after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared. 2- Friendship of friends that we admire, like and care of their well being. The later example might develop and upgrade to touch and then completely turns to be a “sexual love”.
Charitable love
The third kind of love, is the love of God and of human beings, ourselves and others. Such love is totally unselfish, totally altruistic. We bestow such love even on persons we do not admire and, therefore, do not like. It is giving without any getting. It is the love that impels one human being to lay down his life for another.
well......I will continue when time allows
