There are basically four types of Love:

a) Self Love (Self)
Mental. Love who you are, what you do, and acceptance regarding your own limitations

b) Love based on friendship between two people (Philos)
Mental. Friendship is the foundation of a successful relationship and could eventually evolve to the next level…

c) Love between you and your beloved one (Eros)
Physical. No explanation/manual required, right?

d) Unconditional Love (Agape)
Spiritual. Highest type of Love we can achieve. It’s totally selfless, not including giving and taking like previous types. It’s about loving everyone (including people that you never met), animals and our planet

2) Listen to your Heart and then Hack it! (Awareness)


Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams: who looks inside, awakens.

Carl Gustav Jung

3) Spread YOUR Love with everyone (Viral)

Show how much you care for this planet and its habitants.

All you need is love. Love is all you need.

John Lennon

Have a wonderful day. And life.

P.S. You should not feel any anxiety about being single, separated, divorced, widowed, or in a bad relationship today. Just remember that first, you are not alone in the world and second, you are in charge of your own life.

  1. What a wonderful way to start the day.
    Thank you for sharing!

  2. Thank you, Gustavo! Great timing from some loving words. I take the chance to share with you one of my favourite authors in everything love related:

    “Just as love is an orientation which refers to all objects and is incompatible with the restriction to one object, so is reason a human faculty which must embrace the whole of the world with which man is confronted.”

    Erich Fromm

    …amor! :)

  3. You are very welcome. Thanks for sharing Fromm’s perspective on one of the most fundamental topics in life.

    Have a wonderful week!
