Much to do, much to think, much love

I've been up to alot in the past 2 weeks . busy busy!
since its the lunar new year, I've been travelling all over visiting relatives from around the country. Of course I was happy to see them all, but more on that later

But here are my thoughts on 'Four Loves' by C.S lewis.
First of all, it's an excellent book that I'd recommend to any christian. (along with any other C.S lewis books)

This was the second book that I'e read analysing 'love' in depth. Asie from a mundae view of love from psychologists, Erich Fromm's "The art of Loving" and the "The Four Loves" adequately explores our subconscious and our inclinations. Where the 'The Art of Loving" deals with the theory and the practice of love from a scholastic and social perspective, the "The Four Loves" is a much deeper spiritual book. C.S Lewis, aware of the incipient spiritually alienated post- war christians, implores the reader to reevaluate the essence of our relationships: love.

From his derivation of 3 types of loves: Gift-love, Need-love, and Appreciative-love, he futher categorizes and anlayzes love from a dep christian perspective: Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. Perhaps the most revealing and interesting chapter for me, was of friendship. Without going in detail, I cam to appreciate and acknowledging my friends much more in a very differenty way.

Too many memorable memorable memories quotes from the book, but since I'm at an internet cafe atm, and don't have the book avec moi, I won't be able to quote mr. lewis.

Again, a great christian read: C.S Lewis's "The Four Loves"
