There are many types of love and many points along the spectrum of
love. Yet, in our modern societies, we tend to fixate on only a few expressions
of what love is; those being national, parental, familial, communal, friendly,
romantic and personal love/loving.
But what do we know about love itself? Not simply through
experience or conversation, but of its origin; as a concept, as a word, as a
thing.
The concept popularly known as Love is attached to the word. The
primary definition of the word love begins, "an intense feeling of deep
affection," then goes on to, "a person or thing that one loves,"
before finishing off at, "feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to
(someone)."
The sense of this word finds its origins in this way:
From Old English lufu,
of Germanic origin; from an Indo-European root shared by Sanskrit lubhyati 'desires,' Latin libet 'it is pleasing,' libido
'desire.'
So from knowing this, we understand that the most popular love -
romantic love - is derived from a sense of desire, being pleased and feeling
something. It begins as a noun, something more personal, but can also find
expression as a verb. In regards to someone or something, desiring them/it,
pleasing them/it - these are acts of loving. Specifically, of loving yourself and - when consensual - loving others.
From here on out, we will call this aforementioned type of loving
"High Love." As in higher along the spectrum of love, as in more
difficult to achieve and maintain, as in it can make you feel high, as in a more personal love and as in
romantic love.
High Love is not the love of parents-to-children, or
children-to-parents (ideally); nor is it the love of family members (though it
co-creates parents, families and children). That being said, High Love does feature prominently in communal, friendly and nationalistic
love.
Community, friends and nations are clusters of concepts that
overlay to assist an individual in feeling like, or knowing that, they belong or do
not belong. Such groups shape early desires and early concepts of what is pleasing.
