Love is often misunderstood -- and over-used -- in today's world. It's not unusual for people to declare that they love chocolate, or a sunny day after a long winter of storms and snow. But what does love mean when it comes to another person, and how can we love authentically? Without engaging in a discussion on the various types philosophical of love -- eros (romantic), phileo (friendship), and agapé (spiritual, sacrificial) — I wish to focus in this post on our most intimate relationships in regards to the necessity of detached love. What does “detached love” mean? Aren’t we supposed to be emotionally bonded to our loved ones?
