    I realize that there are different ways to interpret and define the word, just none of my interpretations or definitions can be directed at Blue, because I don't know him very well .
    If you stay, we'll get to know each other in time.

    Lewis had it at four.

    Storge - Affection
    Philia - Frienship
    Eros - Romantic love
    Agape - unconditional love



    I made the decision long ago to try and love the whole world.
    Yay!

    Yes, Lewis and most commentators have it at four.

    I made the decision... Not that long ago. It's been six years since my redemption, and maybe a few more to fully realize what it meant. But anyway, I made that decision too! Let's love the world together, starting with the Playground!

    Storge (στοργή storgē[4]) means "affection" in ancient and modern Greek. It is natural affection, like that felt by parents for offspring. Rarely used in ancient works, and then almost exclusively as a descriptor of relationships within the family. It is also known to express mere acceptance or putting up with situations, as in "loving" the tyrant.

    There is also one more which is hospitality love or something like that.

    I don't really recall how the discussion concluded.

    I would still count storge as a type of love, as it's rather different from all the others, and the relationships within a family and other things that the word describes definitely count as love.

    No idea about hospitality love.

    The world is corrupt. Doesn't mean we shouldn't love it.
