Philosophers' love and emotional life are generally unhappy, and many philosophers even prefer to be single.

Love is a wonderful feeling, the spiritual pillar of life, and a romantic, warm, gentle, sweet and happy pleasure.

Love is not about attaching too many things to it, such as morality, responsibility, obligation and so on. Those things do not belong to love, but to marriage. The essence of love is spiritual. Without material support, love is just a mirage.

I wandered around the most suitable coffee shop for singles in this city. In fact, I value marriage itself, but I just don't want to go into the besieged city. I hope love will last forever. Love is a strong emotion, and it is changeable. Love is gorgeous as fire, and it goes out easily. I (Shanghai) had love, but it felt so short and eternal-only let love go to Titanic!

Plato thought:' When the mind abandons the body and yearns for the truth, then thought is the best. When the soul is infected by the sins of the body, people's desire for truth will not be satisfied. When human beings have no strong demand for sensuality, their mood is peaceful. Carnal desire is the expression of animal nature in human nature, and it is also the nature of every creature. People are so-called higher animals because human nature is stronger than animal nature, and spiritual communication is beautiful and moral.'

Platonic love has the following meanings:

1. Ideal view of love (metaphor for extremely romantic or impossible view of love)

2. Pure spiritual love, not physical love

3. Love concept of equality between men and women

There is only one person in this world, and she (he) is perfect for you and only suitable for you. In other words, everyone has his perfect partner, and there is only one.

The first meaning is the most commonly used, but it is actually a misunderstanding. But since everyone uses it this way, it's another meaning. This misunderstanding comes from Plato's masterpiece The Republic. This book discusses how to build an ideal country, because it may be too idealistic to be realized, so some people use it to explain what Platonic love is.

The second meaning is often used, but it is basically a misunderstanding. This misunderstanding comes from Plato's metaphysics. He thinks that what we think is true, and the "real world" we see is not true.

The third and fourth meanings are really Plato's view of love or gender.

Plato believes that people are in the most real conceptual world before and after death, where everyone is a complete man and woman, and in this world we are all divided into two. So people always feel that if they lose something, they will try to find their own "other half" (this word also comes from Plato's theory). Plato also used this to explain why people have "relationships".

In his theory, no half is more important, so men and women are equal. Moreover, the original half of you in the conceptual world is the perfect object for you. He/she is looking for you somewhere in the world.

[Edit this paragraph] Plato's love theory.

Plato is an important figure in the history of western philosophy and culture. His teacher is Socrates and his student is Aristotle. These three men had a profound influence on western civilization and thought.

One day, Plato asked Socrates, "What is love?"

Socrates said with a smile, "You go to the wheat field and pick the biggest and best ears of wheat. You are only allowed to pick it once in the process, you can only go forward and you can't look back. " Plato did as Socrates said and never came back for a long time.

Socrates asked him if he picked it.

Plato shook his head and said, "At first I thought it was easy and confident to go out, but I returned empty-handed!" " "

Socrates continued to ask, "What is the reason?"

Plato sighed and said, "Good is hard to see, but I don't know if it is the best, because I can only choose one, so I have no choice but to give up;" So, I walked on to see if there was anything better, but the more I walked on, the more I found that it was not as good as what I saw before, so I didn't pick it; In the end, I realized that the biggest and most full ear of wheat had been missed, so I had to go home empty-handed! "

At this time, Socrates said meaningfully: "This is' love'."

Then came Platonic love.

It is true that we, all sentient beings, are born with mortal eyes. How can we experience the noblest, most sacred, most ideal, most free and perfect love of mankind?

Platonic love is an ideal concept of love. An extremely romantic or impossible view of love. Stand by your lover, pay silently, and wait silently. Don't expect to be close, and don't pray for possession; Even though I know there will be no result at all, I still insist on not regretting it. Perhaps this unrequited pursuit doomed the tragic ending. In the end, it can only be two parallel lines waiting in the distance, leaving the best fragments of memories as eternity!

Platonic love is a purely spiritual view of love. Pursue spiritual communication. When the mind abandons the body and yearns for the truth, then the thought is the best (beautiful); When the soul is infected by the sins of the body, people's desire to pursue truth will not be satisfied; When human beings have no strong demand for sensuality, their mood is peaceful. Carnal desire is the expression of animal nature in human nature, and it is also the nature of every creature. People are so-called higher animals because in human nature, beautiful and moral human nature is stronger than animal nature. True love is a persistent emotion, only time is the touchstone of love. Only transcendental love can stand the test of time.

Platonic love is a kind of love concept of equality between men and women. Love is equal, without attachment and possession. Both parties who love each other are voluntary and never reluctant, that is, they love the person you love without regrets. In the conceptual world, your original half is your perfect object. He/she is waiting for you somewhere in the world. "Standing guard in the rain" and "a flower a day" are all extravagant wastes. You should know that in the process of cultivating and developing love, men and women are equal.

Platonic love is a perfect concept of love. No one is right or wrong in feelings. As the song goes: "I don't care about eternity, I just wish I had it." In your mind, there is a vivid and perfect him (her) in this world. He (she) is perfect for you and is the only eternal one. Maybe he (she) will not appear in reality, but will live in your heart forever.

Platonic love is a free view of love. Love needs enough space and time to thrive. Love, not sacrifice, not possession; Love is a kind of satisfaction. When you have love, let the other person be free; When you lose love, set the other person free. Love is like a kite. You should let it fly freely and know how to pull it back at the right time. Without free love, you will gradually tend to die naturally. Love needs freedom, just as love needs breathing. Distance and mystery are good ways to keep love warm.

In the chaotic world, the soul leaves a piece of pure land, allowing pure Platonic love to take root. More simplicity and more fantasy will make it better! If you like, you might as well make a cup of coffee and continue to write platonic love stories in the sun!

People are always eager for love, regardless of age, gender or age. But in different times, different regions and different individuals, the content and form of love are very different. Primitive love probably didn't need to write a love letter, because there were no words at that time; People in the nineteenth century didn't know that they could make love and make vows by phone. It was not until the end of the twentieth century that people knew that surfing the Internet could also convey feelings.

In the development of western love civilization, the earliest extant document is Plato's exposition (427-347 BC), which is regarded as a monument. As a concept, "platonic love" has influenced generations of westerners, and East Renye Fang regards his name as a synonym for "spiritual love".

So, what exactly is "platonic love"?

Plato and Aristotle were the most influential philosophers in ancient Greece, among which Plato had a great influence on later generations. Plato wrote a book in the mouth of his teacher Socrates, saying that when the mind abandons the body and yearns for truth, then thought is the best. When the soul is infected by the sins of the body, people's desire for truth will not be satisfied.

In Europe, there has long been Platonic love called "spiritual love" by China people. This kind of love thinks that the combination of flesh is impure and dirty, and that love and lust are two opposite States. Therefore, when a person is really in love, it is impossible to think of physical union with the object he loves.

In today's people's eyes, Plato's view of love is incredible. On the other hand, an American scholar put forward a new view on Plato's love as understood by modern people. Ella Rice, president of the American East-West Social Society and author of American Family System, believes that the spiritual love advocated by Plato actually refers to a kind of love between the same sex, that is, "homosexuality"! The ancient Greeks believed that the process of homosexuality was more of a spiritual communication, a spiritual communication than a physical communication. In the ancient Greek society where women received little education, it was difficult for men to find spiritual opponents from women. This is why Plato emphasized the love between people. Plato firmly believes that "true" love is a persistent emotion, only time is the touchstone of love, and only extraordinary love can stand the test of time.

American sociologists have different opinions about whether Platonic love is pure love with only spiritual intercourse or elegant love with physical intercourse but emphasizing spiritual intercourse. But one thing is certain, that is, Plato believed that love can sublimate people. He said that for a person who lives a noble life, it is not blood, honor and wealth that guide his behavior, but love. There is no emotion in the world so deeply rooted in people's hearts as love. A person in love will not be as pale as his lover if he acts disgracefully and is seen by his father, friends or anyone else.

Love is undoubtedly the power to make people better.
