Today we will discuss words about love and hate. According to me love and hate are two most strongest emotions (intense feelings). And we all know the meanings of these two words. But there are several other words that are related to these words. Some are synonyms, while others have a bit different shade of meaning but still they are about feelings. And believe me, you can learn thousands of words only by learning words relating to emotions. You will see in few days!
That's all for today!! Thank you. Good day!
Love according to me is one of the most innocent, clean and pure feeling. But still each person has his own way of loving.
- If you love someone selflessly, with no expectations, you have respect and regards for that person, you just want that person to be happy. This kind of love is called agape. You can say that this love is spiritual (unworldly, unearthly) in nature. Agape also means love of god towards mankind or human race. Another shade of agape, entirely different from this one is to look at something/someone with your mouth open due to something that was unexpected, awesome, surprising, shocking, starling, stunning, astonishing and amazing. For example if you see someone solving entire CAT paper in 15 minutes you may agape at him/her.
- Have you ever wondered how child love his/her parents! Complete innocence. They are so innocent that they sometimes don't even know the meaning of innocence. This love shown by child for his/her parents is called Filial love.
- Have you ever had crush on someone? Please don't say no...that would be a lame lie. When you have crush on someone, you have a lower degree of madness in you. Intense feeling of love, affection and philia. This kind of feeling is called ardor. But again ardor is platonic (free from physical desire). If a boy and a girl always be together, like each other or even love each other but have no physical desire towards each other then this kind of relation is called platonic relation.
- amorousness/enamoredness : These words means the same and have two shades. One is to have the feeling of fondness for someone. Other is the feeling of sexual desire. Other words that have same meaning as the second shade is carnality, prurience, eros and concupiscence.
Hate does not have many different shades. Hate means to dislike someone. But many words are synonyms of hate. These are detest, hatred, loathe, execrate, abhor ( higher degree of hatred), disgust, odium (hate coupled with disgust), repugnant (offensive to your mind).
That's all for today!! Thank you. Good day!
