Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why speak about love in all its facets? Love is a diamondwe cannot fathom its depths. By a combination of all its facets, we hope to reach a vision of true love. I realize that all people are looking for love so they can say life is beautiful. Love appears in different forms, different versions, different ages, and different cultures. It is present everywhere, but transparent, like wind and water. Could it be an element of nature that feeds us daily? Everybody knows that when we fall in love, we just need fresh water to survive. Love is the word we use the most to express a feeling of satisfaction. We use it more to express our personal sensations than those inspired in somebody else. This is not our fault; we are taught growing up to hide our feelings and say things halfway, so as not to shock. Thats what it means to live in community. Society attempts to control people who have chosen to live inside itto control loveby imposing rules that restrict behavior. Sex is one of its priorities. In the olden days, homosexuality was a normal sexual behavior; it was tolerated. At the time of Kings, incest was accepted. Each period imposes sexual taboos, and as a consequence, nowadays we live with so many taboos we dont understand them in depth. To my mind, taboos are designed to manage the general interest and safeguard society. I also think that they have to arise themselves from a loving sentiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets, theologians, romantics, scientists, and revolutionaries alike have explored the many facets of love. Judging by the wide use of the word “love” and the high praise it typically receives, we might think that philosophers have thoroughly analyzed love. But this is not the case. This book takes a step toward rectifying the neglect of a philosophical analysis of love. It brings together fifteen philosophical perspectives that explore some of love’s most important facets. Most of the essays have theistic or religious concerns in mind.

Download or read book The Many Facets of Love written by Shaolyn Rhee Jean and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I started to write this book, I didn't know it was going to be a sad inspirational kind of book. I started to write what I was feeling at that moment and later on, what other people around me might be thinking and feeling after a betrayal when I put myself in their shoes. This book is about feeling betrayed, deceived, and abandonned by someone that said they loved you. It is also about the joy of feeling alive when you have the love and respect of that other person. In addition, it is about feeling rejected by that same person who prophesized his or her love to you in the fi rst place. When I was done writing, I realized that it was to be a sad book about love ending and how many facets love could have and at the same time, inspirational for others so they won't make the same mistake listed in the book. I hope you enjoy reading it as I enjoyed writing it for you. Best Wishes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we actually talk about when we talk about love? Research on love and emotions has been met with suspicion although people live in a network of relationships from birth to death, and the ability to build and maintain relationships is an important strength. This book provides a comprehensive research-based analysis of love in human life: romantic love and its ups and downs, and the fascination of love, the combination of work and family, the secrets of a long-lasting marriage, senior love, and the throes and relief of a divorce. Love is also discussed in relation to other phenomena, such as friendship, play, and creativity. In addition, themes of parental love and pedagogical love, and the ability to love, as well as dark sides of love are introduced. Love is worth cherishing and practicing. Other people’s experiences may be helpful, and information about the nature of love can relieve the pain. Thus, love, in its various forms, makes the best health insurance! This book is meant for everyone interested in love but also for professionals in various fields, such as psychologists, educators, and couple and family counselors. The book is based on authors Prof. Kaarina Määttä’s and Dr. Satu Uusiautti’s extensive research on love at the University of Lapland, Finland.

Download or read book Aspects of Romantic Love written by Dr. George Vareekal and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of Romantic Love: Perceptions on Love and Marriage is a modest attempt to express my perceptions of romantic love and related themes. To love and to be loved are exciting aspects of a person's emotional life. The pivotal theme of the book is love, romance, marriage and those alliances which hamper a harmonious conjugal and family life. Romantic love is a fascinating passion and an ecstatic experience. The very word ‘romance’ captures our imagination and fills our hearts with exciting feelings. The book is not a scientific treatise on love. It only encapsulates romantic love with all its appealing themes. My effort is to describe the splendid experience called love exclusively through my impressions. The book is a product of the year 2020 marred by the Covid-19 pandemic and the terrible human exodus during the lockdown of 2020. The unexpected global and national scenario gave ample time and opportunity for reading, writing and reflection. Writing on a subject like romantic love helped overcome the lethargy and the feeling of devastation during the lockdown. It has been an exciting creative activity and a marvellous sensation of diversion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the tales in the Confessio Amantis, John Gower proposes that reciprocal love is the remedy to what ails man and society. This book explores how Gower uses the aspects of love in the Confessio-the notions of kinde, or passionate love, and reason in the sphere of love; honeste love in the Marriage Tales of the Four Wives; passionate and excessive love in the Forsaken Women's tales; and Amans's lovesickness. In her thorough examination of Gower's work, Ellen S. Bakalian shows how Gower emphasizes and illustrates a belief that reason must rule man in all things, including his natural instincts to love.

As a vengeance he secretly planned to annihilate all heirs to the throne of Armadah Kingdom. However while he thought he had totally annihilated all heirs to the throne except he and his children, the son of the king he murdered was growing up in a different country under a foreign name. The desire of the hidden prince was to avenge his father's death and take his throne, but he got himself entangled in a love affair that landed him and the princess of his heart in prison. The beautiful kingdom of Armadah was fast deteriorating under the ineffective reign of Prince Ziggah's son, but there seemed to be nobody to the rescue.

Download or read book Aspects of Love written by J. Barrie Shepherd and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of Love is a book for those - worn out by cynicism - fatigued by sensory assault - wearied by the drive to experience new thrills - made fragile by the trivial - sickened by a lack of spiritual depthIn a world that longs for intimacy, this book casts a long ray of hope. J. Barrie Shepherd offers the loving gift of gentle, unhurried reflection on 1 Corinthians 13. He frames his thoughtful reflections in three parts: "The Necessity of Love," "The Qualities of Love," and "The Endurance of Love." Writing with the poet's sensitivity toward language and rhythm, Shepherd uses verses of scripture from 1 Corinthians 13 to examine facets of love, including communication, irritability, kindness, jealousy, humility, forgiveness happiness, and hope. He draws from the works of Golda Meir, Paul Tournier, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Winston Churchhill and closes each chapter with a prayer.God can dazzle us with the magnificance of the universe. But the heart of the universe reveals its glory in the compassion, grace, and love that come to us when we need it most, telling us, ... "You matter." --J. Barrie Shepherd

Download or read book Two Faces Fire and Love written by Antonio Restituyo and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-05-02 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the real life of many Christians around the world. This book talks about the two faces of love and fire that today are in many Christian people, and they cause the many people who see them to not want to go to church or be near Christian people. Many times the fault of having these two faces in the churches comes from the same church, from its priests, pastors, and leaders, oftentimes because of the bad image of Christianity created by the Christians themselves. An incorrect image, an image different from the one that Christ wants. He wants an image of love that begins with you and flows toward others, not from others toward you. It is only this: love your neighbor as yourself. An image with only one face based on what Christ wants is what you will read in this book. Him sacrificing Himself and the value of His blood shed for our salvation is what I look forward to you seeing in this book.
