*Love for things:

It includes loving an object and loving things that have tangible forms such as food and objects.

Some people say that loving animals is part of the love of water, but it is somewhat ambiguous to say that loving animals is part of the love of water.

 

*Erotica:

The most popular and complex love.

It is the love that is most often covered across many media and works, and is one of the loves that many people long for.

It is also a process of reproducing, starting a family, and moving towards a greater love, such as a partner, a parent, or an alter ego love with which one can communicate closely. 
Perhaps to encourage marriage and childbirth, which are the basis for the reproduction of the next generation of social members, it is portrayed as particularly sweet and special in various creative works. 
In a way, it is the most universal love that serves as the foundation for countless things. 
Anyone can do it, and you can fall out at any time. Love is a euphemism for sexual intercourse, but it does not necessarily follow sexual desire.

However, in this case, the expression below is more correct than love.

We can also see that sexual desire and love are different.

 

*Romance/Friendship/Friendship:

It mainly belongs to the nature of love between opposite sexes or love for friends.

It is a type of love that is possible only when thorough self-management, a rational way of thinking, personal restraint, and a caring heart are combined, and it is included in the most intelligent love among the concepts of love.

 

*Fatherly/Motherly Love:

It is said that the greatest love in the world is the love of parents.

In particular, this idea was combined with Confucianism and developed into the idea of ​​filial piety in return. Although they know their parents' love, they take it for granted, so they usually ignore it, but after their parents leave, they often end up regretting it.

So, let's treat each other well on a regular basis.

However, these days, there are also negative views about parents' unconditional love.

Excessive love for children in the wrong direction is a shortcut to ruining children, and this often produces inconsiderate people.

Representative examples include the problems of the Korean education system or the problem of China's unthinking youth that began to appear through the single-child policy.

It also gave parents a sense of compulsion to abandon themselves and give unconditional love to their children.

However, if you think about it differently, it may be correct to say that the biggest reason why our parents' love is because while love between people of the opposite sex can lead to another love, our parents' love can only come from us. In any case, it must be taken into account that there is an exception to this: the Toxic parents.

 

*Philanthropy/Love for Humanity:

Being able to give generously beyond emotions.

This kind of love has inspired awe in countless people regardless of time, place, and country, and has even been sublimated into religion.

Representative examples include Son Yang-won, Albert Schweitzer, and John Peter Altgeld.

It can also be seen as being related to 'humanism'.

Of course, not all people living on Earth are adults, so it is not the type of love that is commonly seen. However, if it is forgettable, it appears occasionally to bring warmth and hope to people.
