The highest form of Love is Liking.
I have talked about Love one way or the other in all the previous
Chapter. Let me now categorize the Love I have been talking about. It
is my hope that people will Love more once they have understood, once
they have remembeed themselves.
Love towards an animal. There are some individuals who love their pet
cat more than their husbands or their children. But this kind of love
I am referring to happens when someone assumes that he is higher than
the other person. When he treats the other person as of lower in
nature. This is that kind of love that you will give to these people
the food which you yourself will no longer eat.
Love towards material things. This is the form of love where people
start possessing other people and viewing them as objecs instead of
appreciating them the way they are. Some even use their partners as a
sexual object underminning that these people have also feelings.
Appreciating something without possessing it so that others may also
see its beauty. When we look at the sun setting in the sky. When we
look at the eyes of the girl whom we like or when we look at her in
general.
Love of a man to a woman. When a man acts as a companion to his
woman, willing to just be there and listen to all the things that
seems to bother her or that she is afraid of.
Love of a parent to their offspring. When a mother will ensure that
her children will eat first before she even feed herself. This is
that kind of love.
Love of man to his country. It is when someone is willing to give up
his own life so that others may live thus this love takes into being.
Love of man to his God. When he learns to Love himself and this Love
reverberated to his immediate environment, is he able to manifest
that kind of Love.
