The difference between love and affection

The biggest difference between love and affection is that love is two-way, while affection is one-way.

As for affection, I think: since two people are combined, and it is a complete combination of body and mind, then most people will have a kind of psychology of "I already belong to you, and you also belong to me". In other words, everything of two people is completely integrated, and each has become a part of the other's life.

However, love is not. The so-called love is actually a period of choice between two people before marriage. This feeling is completely different from family ties. Both parties in love can break up at any time, psychologically, physically and even morally, without any responsibility. However, the blood relationship is not good, and people must take full responsibility for it, which contains too much.

Affection is fluid, soft, flexible and inclusive; And love is firm, hard, fragile and fragile. Affection can be broken, but love is as beautiful as promise; Family ties are eternal and will not be lost. Love has a time limit, and it will suddenly disappear with one of our thoughts, as if it had never appeared. This is the difference between affection and love.

What kind of love will eventually be ground into affection by life, which is the successful love. This is what we usually mean by "living happily together forever". Love is ultimately ethical, and the throb of youth is only a small spark in life. Using "love" to describe the love between husband and wife has become a kind of affectionate and fashionable statement, which seems to be the highest realm of sexual love. This state is almost impeccably profound. Affection is actually the sublimation of love!

One of the essence of the difference is that affection is one-way, while love is two-way. People often say: filial piety is a virtue, and filial piety is an indispensable and important advantage. But people seldom hear people emphasize that loving children is a human virtue. This involves human's animal nature and human's natural attributes.

In fact, the love reflected by family ties is essentially one-way, that is, the love of species continuation, the need and necessity of species continuation. Parents' love for their children is always selfless, even the most universal and touching love in the world. But unfortunately, this kind of love has a one-way characteristic, that is, parents give their children not only life, but also all material, emotional, caring, caring and hope.
