Showing results for "love" in Ethics & Morality

What is love? In poetry, songs, fiction, movies, psychology, and philosophy, love has been described, admired, lamented, and dissected in endless ways. Is love based on physical attraction? Does it bring out our better selves? How does it relate to sex? Is love divine? Plato's Symposium is one of the oldest, most influential, and most profound explorations of such questions—it is even the source of the idea of "Platonic love."

We feel love. We spread love. We hide it away. We find love, fall in it, and get stuck in it. Love hurts, it stinks and it heals. There are lovebugs, love birds and puppy love. There are labors of love and tough love. We have love-hate relationships. We find one to love and sometimes create love triangles. We can make love and make a love child. Kids love sugar, and love can be pretty sweet. Love is the answer. Love is all we need. It’s so fine, it’s sunshine. Love is the light. Love is the way.
