Four Kinds of Love

FOUR LOVES

·        Affection (this starts in the animal kingdom; continues with pets and humans)

·        Friendship ( an inconditional type of love based on trust)

·        Eros  (a strong bond based on desire and intimacy)

·        Charity (to love the unlovable and altruistic causes)

In the school they want children to learn dry facts of reality, while their imagination is cultivated by fairy tales concerned with a world that is certainly full of marvels but not the world around them in which they live.

What we can do, with love

“We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.”

Mother Therese of Calcutta

Nobel Peace Prize,

“What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.”

Mother Therese of Calcutta

Nobel Peace Prize,

“We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.”

Mother Therese of Calcutta

Nobel Peace Prize,

We are the world; we are the children

Love is all we need...

True Love?

Sick of cliches?

Take heart, scientists have discovered that people can have a love that lasts a lifetime.

Using brain scans, researchers at Stony Brook University in New York have discovered a small number of couples respond with as much passion after 20 years together as most people only do during the early throes of romance, Britain's Sunday Times newspaper reported.

The researchers scanned the brains of couples together for 20 years and compared them with results from new lovers, the Sunday Times said.
About 10 percent of the mature couples had the same chemical reactions when shown photographs of their loved ones as those just starting out.
Previous research has suggested that the first stages of romantic love fade within 15 months and after 10 years it has gone completely, the newspaper said.
"The findings go against the traditional view of romance -- that it drops off sharply in the first decade -- but we are sure it's real," said Arthur Aron, a psychologist at Stony Brook, told the Sunday Times.

Love is all you need...Amor es todo lo que...

MUSICA ROCK: THE BEATLES,

RESILIENTES EN MEDIO DEL NIHILISMO[1]

En la posguerra europea, marcada por una densa nube de cinismo, escepticismo y nihilismo, vio nacer y triunfar a The Beatles en la década del 1960 y 1970, una banda juvenil de (entonces) inconformistas y contestatarios de Liverpool, Inglaterra, que inauguraron la ola de música: rock que había iniciado el cantante colérico Elvis Presley en USA en la década del 1950. Con sus canciones idealistas, creyendo en un mundo más humano, iniciaron una revolución cultural pacífica. Una parte importante de la música popular de hoy (iTune[2]s, el iPod, y el MP4 incluidas) está marcada por esta huella cultural que iniciaron The Beatles. Entre sus muchos aportes dijeron “All you need is love, love is all you need” (todo lo que necesitas es amor, amor es todo lo que necesitas) Su vena poética aun dura cuarenta años después y parece sorprendente fresca y liviana...

Uno puede pensar al escuchar y oir este clip si The Beatles nos es estan tomando el pelo (se burlan del amor), hablan en serio, o lo quieren pasar bien. Hay muchas lecturas. Creo que hay algo de todas. Pero sobre gustos no hay nada escrito. Decidan Ustedes.
