From the most exalted virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal attachment, to the simplest pleasure, love covers a spectrum of strong and positive emotional and mental states. The love of a mother differs from the love of a husband, which differs from the love of food, as an illustration of this spectrum of meanings. Love is most often used to describe a strong attraction and emotional bond.

Love is thought to have both positive and negative aspects, with the virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection as “the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another,” and the vice representing human moral flaws such as vanity, selfishness, amour-propre, and egotism as potentially leading to mania, obsessiveness, or codependency. It can also refer to acts of compassion and affection for other people, oneself, or animals. Love, in all of its manifestations, is a key facilitator of interpersonal relationships and is one of the most prevalent topics in the creative arts, owing to its core psychological relevance. Love has been proposed as a function that keeps humans together in the face of threats and aids in the species’ survival.

Familiel love (in Greek, Storge), friendly love or platonic love (Philia), passionate love (Eros), self-love (Philautia), guest love (Xenia), and heavenly love (Xenia) were the six types of love recognized by ancient Greek philosophers (Agape). Unrequited love, empty love, companionate love, consummate love, enamored love, self-love, and courtly love are some of the other types of love described by modern authors. Ren, Yuanfen, Mamihlapinatapai, Cafuné, Kama, Bhakti, Mett, Ishq, Chesed, Amore, Charity, Saudade (and other variants or symbioses of these states) have all been recognized as culturally unique words, definitions, or expressions of love in relation to specific “moments” that are currently lacking in the English language.

Over the last two decades, there has been a substantial rise in scientific study on emotion. The color wheel theory of love distinguishes three major, three secondary, and nine tertiary love types by using the conventional color wheel to describe them. According to the triangle theory of love, “intimacy, passion, and commitment” are essential elements of love. Love also has religious or spiritual connotations. Love is exceptionally difficult to define in comparison to other emotional states because of its wide range of applications and meanings, as well as the complexity of the sentiments involved.
