EROS

- was, in Greek mythology, the god responsible for lust, love, and sex; he was also worshipped as a fertility deity. His name is the root of words such as erotic. His Roman equivalent was Cupid, "desire", also known as Amor, "love". He was often associated with Aphrodite. He was, like Dionysus, sometimes referred to as Eleutherios, "the liberator".
Throughout Greek thought, there appear to be two sides to the conception of Eros; in the first, he is a primeval deity who embodies not only the force of erotic love but also the creative urge of ever-flowing nature, the first-born Light that is responsible for the coming into being and ordering of all things in the cosmos.

- "desire): the Greek term for sexual attraction or romantic love.

- the word came from the Latin god of hormones, it was used to refer to sensual or sexual love.

- refers to love between a husband and wife. It is more than sexual ecstasy because it also includes embraces, longing, and caring.

AGAPÉ

- is the Greek word for divine, unconditional love. Greek philosophers at the time of Plato used it in a way that suggested a universal, as opposed a personal, love; this could mean love of truth, or love of humanity. The term was used by the early Christians to refer to the special love for God and God's love for man, as well as the self-sacrificing love they believed all should have for each other.

- "charity" or "devotion": Greek word signifying a particularly selfless and altruistic form of love.

- love is willful and deliberate. Unconditional.
The Latin word is "caritas" from which we get "charity."

- This word was used in Greek literature to refer to someone who was generously favored by a god. It has the idea of a person giving all his or her love or favor to another. It was used to speak of parents giving all of their love to their only child. So in the New Testament it is used to make the same point. God gives each of us all of His love.

Jesus, Gandhi, Tolstoy

"Shortly before his death in 1910, Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian author, wrote a letter to an admirer in South Africa. The letter asserted Tolstoy's belief in "the teaching of love," which Tolstoy found most completely embodied in the message of Christ. The recipient of the letter was Mohandas Gandhi, and the idea became reality in Gandhi's campaign of non-violence to oppose British rule in India. Inspired by the Sermon on the Mount, in particular, Gandhi used the most radical of tools - non-aggression - to stymie and ultimately overthrow the system of British colonial rule. By the time of Gandhi's martyrdom in 1948, the world had come to glimpse, if not appreciate, that revolutions based upon hope and non-violence, upon Christ's message of love and dignity, were difficult to repulse by the mechanisms of the State."
