About the lecture

This morning, we had a great lecture about "love" which was given by Judith CDastle. She is a social psychologist. She tried to tell us what is love, and how to describe love.
According to her lecture, love is too big to difine it, but we can learn by different behavior. She introduced 4 types of love. The first one is "Philia" which means friendship. This word come from Greek. and also there are 2 types of friendship: forme heart and temporary. Heart friends do not depend on time and place, and even they are in different place, they will talk a lots when they meet each other. The temporary friend may have some situation with you for a few years, such as classmates, and neighbours.
The second types of love is "Romance". When we fall in love with someone, we get attachment and passion for another. Romance is emotional and it is difficult to control by ourself. We can not choose which person we should fall in love with. It is a kind of crazy love.
The third types of love is "Agape". This love we usually give to strangers. For example, you may help people to open the door, or you can give some penny to poor people...ect. All these things are "Agape"
The last one is "Eros". It is the passion for your own life and it is like your habby. even you fall in love with someone, you also need to keep your interests.
I think this lecture was very interesting, and give me lots of idea about love. Let me know how to love and how to show love. The speaker was very funny and she got me involve in this lecture. I was very enjoy in the lecture.
