Love of another person is often equated with “romance” as played out in countless movies and books: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl, and they live happily ever after ---- The boy and girl are almost always very young and beautiful. This is not always true when it comes to reality. Real love does not depend on physical and beauty as these stories suggests. Yet many of us tend to reject those who do not fit this ideal.

To better understand what love is, we must separate the real roots of love from the notion of romance. Real love is a deep concern for another person’s welfare. When you love someone, you communicate this love not just in words but in your actions. This kind of love is not something you “fall into.” It is something you work on that grows each day.

Types of love

Love exists in many forms. In real friendship, you love your friends and help them in any way you can in times of need. Parents and children feel a special kind of love for each other. In marital love, husbands and wives are deeply committed to each other in all aspects of their lives. People may love their country. They appreciate what their country has done for them and feel a commitment to serve in some way. The broadest type of love is love for humanity. People who truly “love their neighbors as themselves” demonstrate these kind of love.

The need for love

Love is an important emotion. It gives special meaning to life. It enriches life. When babies receive love, they feel secure. In this way, self-acceptance grows. Self-love is necessary before you can love others. Do not confuse with self-love with selfishness. Selfishness is seeing only oneself not others. Self-love on the other hand, is seeing yourself as a worthy person in relation to others. We are born with the capacity to love, but it must first be nurtured.
