RE: Until Death Do We?

I really think the Greeks had it right when they came up with the four different words all to describe love. It showed a lot of foresight and reverence for such a strong emotion.

        The Greeks defined the different ‘degrees’ of love: Eros, Philia, Storge and Agape. According to them, Jesus of Nazareth is the only one who has reached the Agape degree.

                    Is love an emotion though? Perhaps it is not. Maybe it is like courage - a way of being.

                          But this courage needs a foundation. And what is it? ⇋ trust. A deliberate and courageous love is built by “choosing to trust”, not by discarding it. I don't know, I feel there is an obvious contradiction.

                                I think it is a lot of things in a lot of different situations. Even a verb at times.
