Love on the Path of Positivity

The first Monday of a new month and time for a new challenge at the Path of Positivity. As we are now into February there could really only be one theme - Love. A lot of challenges are using the same theme so you could make one project which would cover quite a few of them!

The word love is a strange one when you think about it. It covers such a huge number of different scenarios from the love of family, friends, animals to the love of a painting or piece of music. And within that are so many depths and levels of the same emotion. It is a big range for one tiny word. The Ancient Greeks had 6 words describing different aspects of love. Psychologists have 7 types of love, taking the 6 from the Greeks and adding one more.

Love is such an easy word to say, do we really think about what we mean when we use it or is it now just something we say out of habit? Is it overused in today's easy come, easy go society? Or will love always win out in the end even if it  may not be as neat as we would like. I guess only time will tell but one thing is certain, the world needs more love that looks to the needs of others first.
