Love Definition
By Kelly TinningThere is only one true Love, though all issues associated with the word Love pop into one of two universes:
| Love |  |
Non-love |
| Phileos, Agape | |
Eros |
| Self-sacrificing | |
Self-fulfilling |
| For others | |
For self |
Either or both of these universes may be operated in at any one moment.
It is not always wrong to satisfy yourself; but it is not Love.
It is not wrong to admire God's creation, man or woman, one or many; but it is not Love.
Love is never adulterous. Adultery is never Love: they are not even remotely related.
