Can you Describe Love?
The ancient Greeks could, Let’s see if we are at least to able understand them
What exactly is love? Can we ever truly grasp its essence? These questions have been echoed through the human mind for centuries since Love’s complexity is both its fascination and its challenge.
We actually love many different things, our parents, kids, partners, favorite food, favorite songs, that old special trip, a few cities around the world, some artists, books, songs, bands, and so on
