The Most Wonderful Gift Is Love

To most people, love is mysterious, mystical and complex emotion felt by humans and even other animals. Many people would say that love is so mysterious that it has no definition.

The focus of this article is on the three types of love:

Eros - This love is regarded as the "erotic love". This is the feeling between the two people for each other. This feeling is intense in character and is strong. This type of love focuses or is more based on the physical. Many people see this kind of love as selfish since it is based on desire and what benefits one can get from the other. We should be careful with this type of love. This is not true love though it is still love but many are still confused by this.

Philos - This is the love shared by best friends. This is the friendship between the two people share. This gives proof to what many people say that lovers who started out as close friends have a longer relationship than others.

Friendship is regarded as one of the many good foundations for a successful relationship whether marriage, family relationship, co-workers relationship and boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. The chances of fight and arguments are decreased because with Philos, couples can get the chance to get to know each other more before they decide to move their relationship to the next level. The two people only sees the positive side of their partners in Philos.

Agape Love - This is the purest and the most real among all kinds of love. It is also called as the unconditional love. Agape love tops over Philos and Eros love. This type of love is selfless. To put differently, one can love someone without asking for something in return. Or, you, helping another person even though that person is cursing you or has done bad to you, you still do good for that person without thinking about what he did or waiting for something in return. Agape love is also shown when a son or daughter takes care of his or her parents as they grow old.

These are the 3 types of love. Love is one of the major feelings in this world that inspires and helps people persevere in hardships and troubles. We won't be born in this world without this.
