...varieties of love...

I wrote in a flickr comment:
"There are at least two qualities (varieties) of love: Loving things, actions, also animals - and the potion of love which we drink when we "fall in love" with a person, a fundamental love, which seems part of our DNA, which can lift us to heaven, but which can also destroy us, making us loose control over ourself and our life especially when it's not fulfilled.
Your photo is very graphic.
I like grantskitties comment."

There are four main Greek words for love, Mister Beep: agápe, éros, philía, and storgē.
In Psychology, Lee defined six varieties of relationship that might be labeled love: agápe, éros, storgē, pragma, ludus and mania.
Until you have found safety and love within yourself, you are incapable of experiencing the true meaning of love.
