    What is LOVE?

    Misconceptions of Love:
    1. Romance.
    2. An act of possessing and on being possessed by another
    person.
    3. Synonymous with sex
    4. Love is blind and lovers do not see
    Erich Fromm, “The art of Loving”

    1. Emphasis on being loved rather than


    loving
    2. Emphasis on the object loved rather
    than on the faculty of loving
    3. Confusion between the initial state of
    falling in love and the permanent
    standing-in-love.
    Loneliness and Love

    • Experience of love begins from


    the experience of loneliness.

    • Man’s natural tendency is to


    seek out his fellow adolescents
    for understanding and
    acceptance.

    • It is in the barkada that an


    individual finds EQUALITY
    Resorts:
    1. Drinks and Drugs or any form of heightened
    sensation.

    2. Being busy with creative activity


    Answer to the problem of loneliness:

    LOVE
    The reaching out to the other person as an other.
    WHAT IS THE APPEAL OF THE OTHER?

    The appeal of the other is himself. The other in his otherness is himself the
    request. The appeal of the other is the call to participate in his subjectivity,
    to be with and for him.
    Response to the Appeal of the other
    If the appeal of the other is himself, the appropriate
    response to that appeal is MYSELF.

    • Love is inseparable from care, from labor. To love the other


    is to labor for that love, to care for his body, his world and
    his total well-being.
    • Love necessitates a personal knowledge of the other.
    • Love presupposes respect
    Reciprocity of Love

     In love I renounce the motive of promoting


    myself.
     But this does not mean loss of myself, on the
    contrary, in loving the other, I need to love
    myself, and in loving the other, I come to
    fulfill and love myself.
    What if I get rejected?
    • It can be an opportunity for self-
    reparation.

    “ The experience of being rejected


    can be an emptying of oneself which
    would allow room in oneself for
    development.”
    Creativity in Love:

     When love is reciprocated, it becomes fruitful.


     What is created in love is a being-togetherness,
    a “we”
     A creation of a new world –
    OUR WORLD
    Union of Love

     The we that is created in love is the union of persons


    and their worlds.
     The union of love does not involve the loss of
    identities. We become more of ourselves by loving
    each other. This is the paradox of love:
    THE MANY IN ONE, THE ONE IN MANY
    The Gift of Self

    Love is essentially a gift of self.

    OVERALL, LOVE IS SHARING


    MYSELF TO THE OTHER.
    The Gift of Self

    WHY DID I CHOOSE YOU AND NOT


    SOME PARTICULAR OTHER?
    Love is essentially a gift of self.
    Because you are lovable.
    You are lovable because you are you.
    I see certain value in you and
    I want to enhance and be a part of that value.
    Love is Historical

     Love is historical because the other who is the


    point at issue in love is a concrete particular
    person. Love is not love if it is simply love of
    humanity in the abstract.
    Equality in Love

     If love is essentially between persons,


    then it follows that love can only thrive
    and grow in freedom.

     There exist an equality of persons in


    love, the equality in what they are, as
    subjects, as freedom, and not in what
    they have.
    Love is total, eternal and sacred

    LOVE is offered from the TOTALITY of my being to the totality of the


    other’s being.

    LOVE IS ETERNAL. The gift of myself for the other is not for a limited
    period of time only. True friendship can be broken, yet people do not become
    friends on the understanding that they will be friends only for a limited time.
    LOVE IS TO BE PRACTICED
    LOVE IS SACRED, the persons involved in love are unique, irreplaceable
    RATHER THAN TALKED
    beings and as such are valuable in themselves.
