The English language uses a single word to express the broad spectrum of the meaning of love: from the "l love you" over a passionate declaration to a casual letter signature such as "lots of love." Greeks defined love in more sophisticated terms such as Eros (Intimacy and Passion), Ludus (Playfulness), Philia (Comradeship), Pragma (Long Lasting Love), Agape (Love for Everyone) & Philautia (Love of the Self).
