3) Philia:
This type of love is pertaining to what we might call a brotherly love. Not brotherly in the sense of family, but in the sense of kinsmenship. This is the type of love that makes us want to help the little old lady cross the street safely and watch out for our fellow man. It is a good type of love and helps us to see others as needing our love but, sadly, it can often also be a selfish love. Many people only show love to others if they can get something
As the leader of the Iranian Regime continues to defy the International Community and makes nuclear weapons, the world as we know it is about to change. Iran believes it can defend its nuclear weapons facilities, yet that is not exactly true. As the United States controls the Afghanistan Territories, Iraq Region and has two carriers in the Persian Gulf, actually the Iranian Republican Guard is about to suffer up to a million man loss in a 3 day non-stop airstrike. God rest their young soles.Potential Targets such as Ardekan are not out of reach for Super Hornets with exterior drop tanks, improving their range significantly. Stealth Aircraft coming from Iraq or Afghan
Today, I would like to look at what love is. The English language only has one word for love and it is used interchangeably for almost everything. We can say I love my husband and I love Chocolate. Both are using the same word and it is only by the context that we can ascertain the difference. The Greeks, on the other hand, have four different words to describe love. Each word gives a different nuance to the word that helps us understand more fully what is being spoken of.
I want to look with you at the four Greek words for love.
These are:
1) Eros
2) Storge
3) Philia
4) Agape
Eros:
The first type of love we are all familiar with. Our English word Erotica is derived from this word. Sadly, some people never get passed this type of love and base their relationships purely on sexual attraction. This is the type of love that merchandisers tend to play on with the public trying to get us to buy their products to make us more attractive to the opposite sex. Unfortunately, aromatherapy is being misrepresented by these same people also to traffic their products. You would be surprised to see how many products are being offered specifically to attract the opposite sex using aroma.
Studies have been done trying to prove the theory of attraction through Pheromones based on animal instincts. I personally feel that attraction of a life partner is much more than the basis of his/her smell. In fact, it was impossible for me to fall in love with my fianc? based on smell as we met through ICQ on the Internet. It was impossible for smell to play any part in our meeting. Our relationship was based on character and friendship which later developed into love. You can say we met each other and we just clicked ;-) (pun intended) {by the way, we are getting married next month.}
So, the point is that erotic love is not a deep meaningful love but superficial and based on sexual attractiveness only.
2) Storge:
This type of love is what we find in families between the different members. It is the love of mother, father, brothers and sisters. This is a much stronger type of love and involves commitment. “Blood is thicker than water” and most people will do all they can to stand behind their families.
3) Philia:
This type of love is pertaining to what we might call a brotherly love. Not brotherly in the sense of family, but in the sense of kinsmenship. This is the type of love that makes us want to help the little old lady cross the street safely and watch out for our fellow man.

So often when small-business people design their advertising or their glossy three full-color brochures they do way too much bragging. It is if they are trying to impress themselves with all of their achievements. Your potential customers are probably not concerned about how great you are, but rather what you can do for them.There are ways to tell your customer of all the great things that you have done in a way that also tells them why this is good for them. For instance, if your company is a family-owned business and it has been in business since 1965 that is a good thing. But what your customer really wants to know is that you do business the old-fashioned way

If your company is the publicly-traded market leader in your industry you can stop reading this because even the most mundane press release about some boring event at your company will make the major media news outlets. For the rest of you, you will have to be more creative if you want to get the media to cover your news.Publicity is just one aspect of an overall integrated marketing campaign and something that we at EMDCO.com take very seriously, and not so seriously, because it’s part art and part science. When we put together a publicity campaign for our clients, we strive to report on populace aspects of their news stories that will have a better chance of gain

If you’re not quite ready for marriage, yet would still like to show your partner that you are committed. A perfect compromise would be to present them with a promise ring. Promise rings are the middle ground between an official and long term commitment and a public announcement or promise that you only have eyes for each other. Hopefully this “one other” is the proud recipient of your promise ring.Promise rings are very popular in high schools for young couples just beginning to enjoy the first feelings of love and romance. A promise ring need not be expensive, more importantly it is about what it represents. It’s a public show of your affection, it shows your desir

Thankfully, most people love out of pure motives.
4)Agape:
The fourth type of love is called Agape love. This is the highest form of love there is. This is an unconditional love for others in spite of their character flaws and weaknesses. It is a difficult love to obtain simply because we, as humans, are usually concerned more with ourselves and how the world and people around us affect us. In order to love in the agape way, we must overcome our selfishness and look to the needs of others. Prime examples of this type of love are people like Mother Theresa, Cardinal Leger etc. These are people who look out for others interests above their own. It is a special kind of love that needs to be cultivated for it to grow. We can only achieve this type of unselfish loving as we put the needs of others as a priority.
Without getting religious here, I just want to tell you there is a verse from the Bible that fits well with this concept. It is called the Golden Rule. Luke 10:27, says “Love your neighbour as yourself” and "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." -Matthew 7:12 . All relgions of the world share in this same philosophy.
One thing that stuck out to me as I read these is that it says to love your neighbor as yourself. Sadly, many people in this day and age, don’t love themselves. If you don’t love yourself how can you love others? Unconditional love needs to start with you. You must learn to accept the fact that you are a special and unique person. Yes you have flaws, we are all human, but these flaws do not make you less of a person. Learn to love yourself in spite of your shortcomings and accept yourself for who you are. As you love yourself you will find it easier to love others.
The second thing that stands out is that the Golden rule says to do what you want others to do to you. This is not the same as “Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you.” It is not a position of avoiding doing evil or harming others but an actual DOING of something for others. This requires action on your part. It says “DO unto others”. It is when we realize that we reap the rewards of love as we involve ourselves in the lives of others, making their lives easier and more pleasant, as we would want our own l
