disease of fear. Only love can do that. Hatred paralyzes life, love releases it. Hatred confuses life, love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life, love illuminates it.

When we think of love we typically think of love as the emotional
concept of romance. But love is far more than that. Love is a vast concept that has many distinct types. We love our friends, but we do not love them the same way we love our mates. Love comes in different forms. There are three major types of love: Eros, Phileos, and Agape.
- Eros Love: – Eros is the type of love that we are most familiar with, the romantic type of love. It is the love we hear about in songs about lovers. It is the love that people read about in romance novels. It is the love that moves a man and a woman to become one entity and to create other human beings.
- Phileos Love: – The next type of love is Phileos, which is the love between friends. We all have friends and relatives we love and care about, yet it is a different feeling that when we fall in love. Phileos love is the love between friends that binds us together and moves us to share that which we have with others.
- Agape Love: – Agape is the love that is shared between the Creator and the creations. It is the love between God and us. Agape love is really true love.
How to Love: – Love start with our self-only. You can’t love away that give away what you don’t possess. You cannot truly love others if you cannot love to yourself. As you know yourselves to be worthwhile your self-esteem grows. Now you can give away love without conditions or expectations and in full knowledge that you can achieve a serene state of happiness.
Some call this process developing a positive self-image or developing self-esteem but in reality it is learning to love and treasure you.
