The concept I found most interesting and chose to talk about after reading chapter eleven is the styles of loving. This was new to me because I had no idea what so ever that there were more than one way to love let alone six different ways. The six different styles of loving are Eros, storge, ludus, pragma, mania, and agape. The three primary styles of love are eros, storge, and ludus. Eros is a powerful, passionate style of love that blazes to life suddenly and dramatically. Storge is a comfortable, even-keeled kind of love based on friendship and compatibility. Ludus is the final primary style of love and it is a playful love. The three secondary styles of love are pragma, mania, and agape. Pragma is a sensible or practical type of love. Mania is passionate, sometimes obsessive love that includes emotional extremes. And finally agape, which is a selfless love that is based on giving to others, not on receiving rewards from them.
