Beyond the Love


 A few years later, though, I felt the cold of Christmas and decided to write this short note around 1.06 a.m.

Love, affection and compassion are synonymous with the same meaning in Sinhala, but the context is a unique set of meanings. Before explaining the individual meanings, I would like to recall reading about the love of the Greek philosopher Plato. According to him, love represents four stages.

1. Negative love

2. Devotional love

3. Patriotism

4. Platonic love

 Plato rejected all three of the other representations of the above and recommends Platonic love as the fourth.

I will now try to briefly explain the vocabulary in the Sinhala language that I mentioned earlier. We recognize the difference between love and affection that we use so often. For example, love for a pet or something we keep at home is used to describe the interaction between people (there is no gender difference here). We often use words like 'compassion' to reflect the feelings of the mother and father.

Now I turn again to Plato's reading. What is this negative love of Plato? Simply put, the word "Erotic" can be taken from the English word. I will not say much about that, so...

The second is devotional love, which refers to the love that exists within religious and cultural spheres. The love that exists between one's Buddha and God. The third is patriotism. It defines the love between brothers, parents, children, wife, husband, husband and wife.
Fourth is the Platonic love he builds on Plato's philosophical love. For example, the song 'Olu Pipila' by Sunil Shantha, who is considered to be the first political musician in the Sri Lankan
 music industry can be mentioned.

Although I tried to write a short note, this is a very complex topic. I'm currently finishing this short note in hopes of writing later.
