The Trouble With Love - Valentine's Day

Get ready, February 14, is the globally popular holiday, Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day celebrates romantic and passionate love, one of the six forms of love identified by the Greeks.

They called this romantic kind of love “Eros” although we’re also familiar with the Roman name for Eros: Cupid.

The Greeks warned that this kind of love is double-edged.

While falling “madly in love” can be very seductive, we also need to guard against getting lost in it.
