Agape love is true. Agape love is a choice. Agape love is unconditionally totally surrendering everything you have for the subject of your love. God loves us with an Agape love, among others. I love Jane with an Agape love. I choose to love her and not expect anything in return. There are no conditions to what I feel for her. There's nothing that she could ever do to make me not love her. There's nothing we could do to make God ever stop loving us. Sometimes Agape love can seem stupid to an outside party. Sometimes Agape love can make others feel uncomfortable. If one isn't used to such feeling, to such love, of course they are going to feel awkward. Since the love is unconditional, though, this won't ever stop it. I will never. no matter what happens, ever stop loving Jane. I have found my Agape love for her. Whether she has earned it or not, doesn't matter. She has it.
Eros love is attraction. It's erotic. Intimate, sensual longing for another person. Eros is something you can't really help because you can't choose to be attracted to someone or not. It just happens. When I first saw Jane I had a completely cliche, amazing, breathtaking moment where I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak and she thought I was a loser (honestly she told me), there's moments like that where you just can't help but feel the attraction and love that is Eros love. It's EROtic, DUHH! With an Eros love, all I want to do all day long is kiss my beautiful, amazing girl and lay in bed until I die.
This is only two of the four Greek words for love. I'll probably do a post on the other two in about a week.
