Love is attraction, desire, affection felt for a person who arouse delight or admiration. It is the highest form of virtue, when ther is love everything will follow. I Philosphy of Love has been thought of a reducible either to the sex drive or to a struggle for power. Feminist philosphy describe love as a part of a male ideology for securing the subordination of woman. Plato viewd love as a desire for beauty, which should transcend the physical and even the personal. In Christian concept love is divided into three: First is the love of parent to there children. Second is the erotic love, the love that we feel to the opposite sex. The third is the love of god. The unconditional love, the perfect love tha goes beyond our comprehencion, desptie of our cruelty to him, with our repeated sinfulness he is there , caring, loving, watching every step we take, lovingly protecting and providing us his immeasurable blessing. As what I experience first in my family. A great love that cannot be bought. I belong to a big family. We are eleven and I am the 8th from the eldest. My parents treated us equally without favoritism.Especially the love of my mother. That never fades despite how bad and hard headed I am, she is always there at my side. Everytime I am scolded by my father for a reason she is there to comfort me, to give herself for me. Even in the middle of the night, she is ready and aleryt to my needs. With regard to my father. He shows to m the love that is wonderful: Even sometimes he scolded me, but that act of scolding is a kind of correction, that is flowing from love. He don't want us to go in the wrong direction. My brother and siter are showing and embracing love, even sometimes I did wrong to them, they forgive me with open arms. As a matter of fact they serves as my benefactor not only to material thing but also in spiritual thing. Aboveall, the important is the love of god. The god that never leaves me all in my life. Because of the love that I experienced I become a lovers of person.
