Types of Love
Summary of “Types of Love”
In the article “Types of Love,” Bernard Seal said that there are various kinds of love: ludus, storge, manic, pragma, and erotic love. First, ludus love is entertainment, excitement, and enjoyment also unseriousness. However, if love is not interesting to ludus lovers, their relationship will terminate. Second, storge love is opposite mean with ludus love because ludic lover is aware of feeling, but the storge lover is unaware of any intensity of sentiment. Third, manic love has two reactions about love: elation and depression. The manic lover wants to be possessed, and needs to give and take unchanging attention and affection, but often he is unhappy because of poor self-image. Fourth, finding soul mate, similar and different with him, in computer is pragma lover. He can keep relationship, if he and his partner have similar characters each other, but otherwise they will break up relationship. Finally, erotic lover has an ideal type mate, who is beauty, and bewitching, so he wants to have experience about love as quickly as he can. However, it is difficult to do that, so they often feel unfulfilled.
Response to “Types of Love”
I was interested in this article because I did not know about many kinds of love.
One of the interesting types is ludus type. When I was high school student, I think that I had several experiences of ludus type. I never met a girl friend that was like a soul mate. In fact, I had several ex-girl friends, but I do not think that they were my soul mates because we were just ludus lovers. For example, I met a girl who was beautiful, attractive, and kind, so I had to fall in love. Also we spent a nice time doing this like watching movies and dancing. However, after few days, our love did not have passion, and then we broke up. I think that it was not love but just enjoyment.
Actually, I pursue storge love. I think that love is like the stone and moss. It takes a long time for moss to take root on a stone. However, once it does, the moss remains until it dies. Also the stone accepts the moss. Storge love means respecting each other, and helping each other as the stone and a moss accept each other. I am looking for a fiancée who is a storge lover. Also, from the viewpoint of pragma love, it is better that if my fiancée can be a qualification such as a healthy person with a beautiful and sincere mind and a pretty face. However, if I love a woman, she is certainly equipped with these items.
In conclusion, love is important in my whole life. In my opinion, storge love is the most important because storge lovers can know everything about each other. Also, when you love someone, the most important thing is not the initial romantic love, but keeping that love alive over time.
