Kinds of love

Almost everyone in the world have thought about love once in their lives. It is too vague to say what is love. However people love others and loved by other people.
The Greeks divide love into several categories such as Agape, Eros, Philia and Storge. These kinds of love have their own features and people can think differently about which love is the greatest out of these kinds of love. This is true that there are many different types of love and they have different features. 


 I think that the storge is the greatest love, compared to other loves, which is the instinctual love between parents and children because; in my point of view, the love between men and women there are limitations due to hard situation, such as financial problem and sometimes their love finishes like divorces. Also, love between friends may fades away as we grow up and have family that we should take care of.


 However, nothing cannot tear apart the love between parents and children. Although there are some problems between the parents and the children time to time, it will soon recovered and the love will be hardened. From my experience, the love of my parents toward me is indescribable. Being away from my family, often makes me depressed and lonely. However, just talking to them over the phone makes me feel better and they always take care about me and my sisters. We often forget that having parents is really blessed and we should be thankful. Eversince, I left my parents, I realize how much they mean to me. Whenever, I go back home, I try my best to spend more time with my family and make good memories.

Other kind of love that is less important than Storge is Eros according to my own opinion. I am not talking about the sexual love but romantic love between man and woman. In loving someone, there must be something that make people hard to love. As it is mentioned before, like financial problem etc. However, I think without worrying about those issues, love can be build up between a man and woman. It is extended interaction with others. It is about understanding each others. Yet, whoever likes more has to understand more and care about the person more. It cannot always work as we wish but to love someone, we need to persevere and try our best. In fact, we have to persevere and try our best to get and achieve what we desire. We better not frustrated even if we did out best, the love seems not good enough, but as long as you are happy or just good, that is enough.


Lastly, Although, loving is hard, either love someone or loved by someone is really great. Loving out loved one is piece of cake. However, we have to love everyone even our enemies. Once we love someone or try to love someone we will be loved eventually. Love brings so many nice things.

  1. I really like the fact that you can already appreciate the different types of love and how family love may be the most special because it is unconditional. I would like to encourage you to consider writing these in word, editing carefully and then posting. I have a feeling you are composing as you go and there are more errors than is acceptable, besides you should be working on improving your English skills and you will if you edit them. Finally, I think that you did not do any article responses. Make sure you include those in the next set.
