Matters of the Heart

There are FOUR kinds of love according to C.S. Lewis: Storge-empathy bond ; Philia-friend bond ; Eros-erotic bond ; and Agape-unconditional 'God' love.

There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt whether that kind of love is storge, or philia, or eros or agape. The thing is: loving someone can always hurt us without even knowing that we are. And for all we know, the only thing that can mend a broken heart is only love itself.

Will Madison Tris dare to open her heart to oblige her duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve? or will she choose to keep her heart closed, knowing its best for her and for all?
