So what IS Love?

Love is...
How would you answer that? 
For some, love is an emotion or a feeling; for others it's something you do or have.  
Over human history many great philosophers have pondered this same question and ancient Greek philosophers broke love down into seven "kinds". 
  • Eros: Passionate love, especially a love of the body. Eros was the name of the Greek god of sensual or sexual love.
  • Philia: Friendship
  • Ludus: Playful love., friendly teasing or casual flirting
  • Pragma: Mature, Longstanding love
  • Philautia: Love for oneself
  • Storge: Love for a child.
  • Agape: Selfless love, Agape was later translated into Latin as caritas, which is the origin of our word “charity.”
In other words, Love can take on many forms such as with family, friends, and romantic love. Each kind of love plays an important part in each of our lives and in our society. Yet, Love cannot really be defined in any one word or even in seven or simply be reduced to fleeting emotions, physical attractions, or even actions. Love, in it's full essence, is a gift - the most important gift we an receive and the most important give we can give. 

​Where do you see love in your life?
This week we're celebrating love with our "Love Is...V-Day Giving Day" appeal.
​Pure & Simple Truth for Youth, Inc. believes youth deserve the truth about love by learning about whole-person identity, healthy relationships and sexual integrity. Help us bring this message to youth, families and communities and partner with us today!
