Why speak about love in all its facets? Love is a diamond—we 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. That's what it means to live in community. Society attempts to control people who have chosen to live inside it—to control love—by 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 don't 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.

In a most interesting manner, the author has tried to decipher the various faces of love. Love can be an ocean of emotions, and it can be a desert mirage as well. For a few, its an obsession; its a convenience for many; and for some, it could be a selfless, unconditional feeling where they want to see another person happy. And then theres a totally mystical face. Sara and Sidhant had no semblance amongst them but still there was an unseen force which pulled them together and created restlessness. They sparked a hot flame in each others hearts but their minds could never accept it. Was it pride, confusion, fear or bias? This face of love, which is the rarest gift of God, could also turn out to be the biggest gamble of ones life, which two people ought to play. You can survive by playing and losing, but theres no choice of clinging to life if you dont play it. Sara didnt acknowledge her feelings and created a wretched fiasco of her life. By the time she had mustered the courage to accept her emotions, she was already committed to her husband Medhanshbut, clear to everyone but her, her heart and soul were devoted to Sidhant.

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.

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

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

An acclaimed philosopher offers a systematic mapping of the various facets of love. In his widely acclaimed trilogy The Nature of Love, Irving Singer traced the development of the concept of love in history and literature from the Greeks to the twentieth century. In this second volume of his Meaning in Life trilogy, Singer returns to the subject of his earlier work, exploring a different approach. Without denying his previous emphasis on the role of imagination and creativity, in this book Singer investigates the ability of them both to make one's life meaningful. A “systematic mapping” of the various facets of love (including sexual love, love in society, and religious love), The Pursuit of Love is an extended essay that offers Singer's own philosophical and psychological theory of love. Rich in insight into literature, the history of ideas, and the complexities of our being, The Pursuit of Love is a thought-provoking inquiry into fundamental aspects of all human relationships.

Explore the many facets of our most valued emotion Cardiologist and professor Armin Zadeh revisits psychologist Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, a book that has fascinated him for decades. The Forgotten Art of Love examines love in its complex entirety — through the lenses of biology, philosophy, history, religion, sociology, and economics — to fill in critical voids in Fromm’s classic work and to provide a contemporary understanding of love. This unique and wide-ranging book looks at love’s crucial role in every aspect of human existence, exploring what love has to do with sex, spirituality, society, and the meaning of life; different kinds of love (for our children, for our neighbors); and whether love is a matter of luck or an art that can be mastered. Dr. Zadeh provides a fascinating, empowering guide to enhancing relationships and happiness — concluding with a provocative vision for firmly anchoring love in our society.
