After reading John Lee’s Six Love Types‚ I found myself identifying with the Agape love style. The main reason why I say this is not because I took the quiz at the end of the article‚ is because I truly believe in making my partner happy‚ this has always been my number one priority.

For example‚ when it comes to choosing an activity or a place to visit‚ I always ask her what she would like to do‚ or if there

1. Anders Nygren claims that Christian idea of agape and Plato’s eros are distinct and contradicted with each other. Please comment this opinion with stating the content of these two ideas of love and examine the possibility of the unity of them. I do not agree with this statement.

least bit‚ but the key theme for King’s philosophy of a person was agape. King defined agape‚ as “distinct from Eros and Philia — romantic love and friendly affection — as an understanding‚ redeeming good will for all men. It is an overflowing love which is purely spontaneous‚ unmotivated‚ groundless‚ and creative. It is not set in motion by any quality or function of its object.

But what can Gaddis’s discussion of the outmoded player piano finally tell us about the relationship between new music technologies and musicians?

Emotional love is love that comes with everyday life experiences‚ and it does not last long‚ especially when it comes to relationships. However‚ agape love NEVER gives up. Agape love is

All You Need Is Eros? “Love” has been experienced‚ examined‚ converted for entertainment‚ manipulated‚ shaken‚ and stirred innumerable times through the ages‚ as humanity attempts to reign in the profound concept.
