NobleSavage	BS: what is love (181* d)	RE: BS: what is love	16 Jan 04
Some definitions from the classical Greek-- agape: unconditional love; usually used in a theological context (usually Christian) philia: love between friends; amiability storge: parental affection; love of parents for children eros: sexual love usually driven by physical attraction. Remember that these definitions were heavily culturally dependant--they can be used to amplify the word "love" as used in English, but are encapsulated within it, but do not substitute for it. The way the word is used today seems to be context sensitive--I think it best to ask the person what he or she means by it. . . So, what do you mean when you say love? NS
