From ancient #Greece, wise men did teach
Of #love, that most elusive peach
#Socrates, the gadfly, did say
That love is but a madness, in its own way
#Plato, his student, spoke of Eros
As a force that drives us, and the cosmos
The love of beauty, pure and divine
A pathway to the eternal, so sublime
#Aristotle, a philosopher of reason
Believed love, in many forms, has its season
From the love of family, to friendship so true
To the love of knowledge, that we pursue
The #stoics, too, spoke of love's great power
To unite us all, in a single flower
Love of #humanity, and virtue so rare
To live with wisdom, and without a care
From ancient Greece, these wise men did show
That love is a journey, that we all must know
In all its forms, it can bring us together
To live with purpose, in this world forever.
Love in #Christianity is a divine force
A reflection of God's unending source
For God so loved the world, He gave his Son
To save us all, our victory won
Love is patient, kind and true
It bears all things and never subdue
It rejoices with the truth and endures all
For love is the greatest of them all
In #Islam, love is for the divine
For Allah is the most loving and kind
Love for Him is a way of life
It brings peace and banishes strife
Love for others is also crucial
To help the needy and those in peril
For a true believer, love is an act
To do good and spread love is a fact
#Judaism teaches love for God and man
To love your neighbor as yourself, it's the plan
For God created all in His image and likeness
And love for each other is our righteous business
Love is an action, a commandment to follow
To treat others with kindness, it's not hard to swallow
For in loving others, we show our love for God
And spread His love and blessings abroad
Love in #psychoanalysis is complex and deep
A mixture of the conscious and the subconscious, it seeps
It's an irrational force that drives us all
To seek fulfillment and avoid a fall
Love is a dynamic interplay of ego and id
A way to reconcile our inner conflicts and forbid
It's a projection of our desires and fears
A reflection of our hopes and tears
Love is not just a feeling, it's a process
A journey of self-discovery, a progress
It's a way to overcome our childhood traumas
And create meaningful connections, not dramas
