Key insights
- • What you'll learn
- 1 There are giving and receiving varieties of love and each has its place.
- 2 Affection is the most modest of loves, but it sneaks up on us with a surprising force.
- 3 Friendship is the most unnatural of the four loves.
- 4 Pure sexual appetite says “I want it”; Eros says, “I want you.”
- 5 Modern society’s conception of sex needs less gravity and more levity.
- 6 Affection, Friendship, and Eros will fail us if we disconnect these natural loves from divine love.
