While in English exists only one word for it, the ancient Greeks with their aim for self-understanding and knowledge found eight different varieties of love that we might all experience at some point:

1. Eros (Erotic love) - represents the idea of sexual passion and desire;

2. Philia (Affectionate love) - friendship, love between equals;

3. Storge (Familial love) - love between close family members;

4. Ludus (Playful love) - the early stages of falling in love;

5. Mania (Obsessive love) - an imbalance between eros and ludus;

6. Pragma (Enduring love) - love that has matured and developed over time;

7. Philautia (Self love) - self-love in its healthiest form;

8. Agape (Selfless love) - the highest and most radical type of love.

8th Grade Poems, To and From

88 parts Complete

Another collection of poems from 8th-grade minds! These poems conclude our personal struggles, ups and downs, and friendships (with one another and others) throughout this year. We hope you enjoy and find special meaning for yourself in these poems. May you know that you are not alone and be helped if you are having a difficult year! Also, some of these poems are to each other (there are some that form a "mini poem series," if you will, but it's not stated if they continue each other), some are to other people, and others are just... by themselves. While some of these were inspired by someone, to someone, or about someone, all of these were important to us and have a special meaning. Most were about ourselves and our personal experiences, though. May you LOVE, and STAY with your KINDred!
