It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Sometimes when the nights are tiresomely long, and seconds seem like eternities, I seek refuge in the corners of my mind, just thinking and thinking. A love crippled if it is not reciprocated and extinguished if it is not nurtured.
Philia is defined by our desire, as human beings, for social affiliation and a feeling of belonging.
I once read that Agape is the love of God expressed to man, for one sees the wonder of the Lord in everyone around him. Unlike Eros, Philia, and Agape, Love, in my opinion is indefinable. There exists no strict pattern to which love must conform, nor is it merely a by-product of age, experience or wisdom for, to each his own and to each his love. It is my belief that every human being, who has been created by the omnipotent hands of the Almighty, is endowed with the potential to love deeply, endlessly and unconditionally. No one really knows what love is, or exactly what it entails or demands as life has revealed to man the shenanigans of love.
