The physicist :Love is chemistry.     [is a survival tool]


The psychotherapist:

Love has many guises.(外衣;衣服;形象;样子:外表 )    [is all of the above]


The philosopher:

Love is a passionate commitment.    [that we nurture]


The romantic:

Love drives all great stories.


The nun:Love is free yet binds us.    [is life's greatest blessing]




Without the commitment, it is mere infatuation.


Without the passion, it is mere dedication.


Without nurturing, even the best can wither and die.

  • Color wheel theory of love

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel_theory_of_love



Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. ——1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (圣经-旧约)



Three things will last forever —— faith, hope, and love —— and the greatest of these is love. ——1 Corinthians 13:13
