Miss Perkins- I wrote this journal as a warning label for love!
Operators manual to the four Greek loves:
1. Storge (love for your family).You are born knowing that you have a strong connection with them but as a young child you don't fully understand its importance. It might grow apart from your family as you grow up and leave home but you will always have that special bond with them. This bond cannot be completely broken so don't even try. This love is not intended to be understood, but to be felt.
2. Philia (friendship love).
At this age it is hard to come by because often the friends that you have in high school don't follow you through your whole life. It is so precious and rare. You mustn't take it for granted. This love is not intended to be understood, but to be felt.
3. Eros (love within a couple).
CAUTION! This love is evasive!!You think you have it but it was merely teasing you. It is vicious in is most terrible form but if you get it truly right it is amazing. It has the power to change your heart and soul. This love doesn't present itself in its most pure form very often so if you catch it NEVER LET IT GO. It is very rare and should be handled with extreme caution! this love is not intended to be understood, but to be felt.
4. Agape (love shared with God)
This love is extremely powerful and potent. It takes lots of hard work and practice to be able to tame this love. You cant see His face or hear His voice but you must imagine it. You can feel Him if you really concentrate. This love is never ending and impossible to beak once it it's created. To properly manage this love you need to listen to your soul very carefully. this love is not intended to be understood, but to be felt.
WARNING: These loves all have the power to hurt you! They have an even stronger ability to heal all of your wounds. It is advised that you use them wisely and take extremely good care of each and every one.
Laurie. I knew your posts were capable of greatness. Well done. I *love* this.
