What is love? This question instantly reminds me of several different songs and books. We live in a culture where love and, inadvertently, sex are present in almost everything. Entertainment culture presents love as all about sex and infatuation. They also make it seem like love is about what another person can give you, not what you can give to each other. Is this really love? Webster's Dictionary describes love as strong affection (“Love”). Strong affection is still a vague description. In ancient Greek culture, there were three main words used to describe love. The three words are Agape, Eros and Philos. Each word was used to describe a different type of love. Living in a culture where love is almost everywhere, we should think about what love really means. The most common love depicted in entertainment is the love of Eros. Anne Wilson, in her article “Love Changes All,” describes Eros as the type of love that is felt. She also said it was the overwhelming attraction felt at the start of a romantic relationship. I would describe Eros as a “because” kind of love. He's the type that makes people say, "I like you because you're attractive right now, because I want you, because you don't have any problems right now, and because it feels good to be with you.” It's like when you start getting to know someone you've liked for a while. Normally, you were first attracted to them because they looked attractive. Then you started talking to them and realized how funny they were or how much you had in common with each other. It's the kind of feeling you get when you spend time alone together and wish time would freeze. You want to spend the evening...... middle of paper...... a friend. Many people also know what it feels like to love someone despite their imperfections. It's probably safe to say that almost everyone is in love with something or looking for love. After all, isn’t that how we are designed? Works Cited The Holy Bible. Nashville: Nelson Bibles, 1982. Print. New King James Verse. “Sunday observance. » Catholic insight. 7.1 (1999): 22.
