Plato's account of erotic love

The feeling of love for oneself is always different compared to the feeling of love towards your partner and also different from parental love. The emotion of love comes differently to people depending on their environmental circumstances. According to Plato’s explanatory of love, love exists in different ways. By looking at an example of a friendship-love, two people in that relationship experiences emotions toward each other. If the amatory love can be changed to friendship, then this may lead up to an enjoyable life which is well understood and characterized by passion and desire in a kind of reasonable way of living (Louis & Aristotle 123). The critical moment of love comes when one realizes the utmost desire inspired by his or her lover is more of importance compared to love from all other friends.

The essence of Plato’s view of love is that of good like. He gives more emphasis on the rehearsal of philosophy, by seeking of happiness and truthiness. He argues that love is not always after something that you desire or belongs to someone. Love should always not be confused with an article of love which is the same to love itself. The ideal beauty towards the reflection of love is viewed as an idea of a person pertaining to the relationship. Nevertheless, it’s easy for a person to fall in love with someone but this might bring many challenges in the relationship in future. If a relationship is faced by challenges like wriggles, separation, and divorce, there is a possibility that the man or women considered physical outlook in searching for a partner and that is the reason why the relationship can’t last for long.

Love should always bring joy and happiness to the lovers at all cost and in case it doesn’t bring, you should quit and look for another partner. True love between two people can only begin when there is the essence of trust, respect, and faithfulness to one another. Once our emotions are driven by the desire for beauty and better things, this may lead to heartbreaks, separations, and divorces. While in love, one experiences some problems mostly towards sex, this argument comes from rationality (Irene & Milton 183). Men are usually misled by this rationality which is able to take away all their passions. Many people have different views about love according to someone’s background but my opinion is that true love is an affection for someone that is not ruled by any laws of human beings.
