The Overview of Sex and Love.
________________________
Please excuse the first fairly suggestive piece of art in above for this series. Up until now I have been tame.
Just making a point.
We basically have one word in English for love.
The kooky-nutting crazy Greeks had a bunch of them because they knew how to distinguish between things. Things like leftt and right, East and West...the kind things the architects of the Oakland freeway system never considered. They just kept building ramps, then more ramps.
Ramp happy.
They have some dead ones in SF too.
As such, the Ancient Greeks had at least five words related to love, perhaps more like 9. But we are gonna just do the five main ones.
Understand...they cannot often be separated. Where one leaves off and the other begins is as mysterious and the love between a man and a woman...times about, well, I'm guessing, but five?
So it is like a maddening freeway of overcrossings and underpasses and counter-intuitives curves and turns and off-ramps and roadways that sometimes have three labels, then two, then five, then one.
And you wanted to go South and you are headed to Berkeley all of the sudden.
What are these loves the Greeks talked of?
I will tell you them one by one next. Just keep the freeway in mind and buckle your seatbelt.
