Philos is the name that Ancient Greek Culture gave to platonic love.
Platonic love, as defined by the philosopher Plato, is the attraction of like energy.
Like energy shares its polarity, whether its gender is similar or opposing.
Whereas discernment allows a duality of male or female gender, judgment causes a duality of positive or negative polarity.
I always have a choice of direction and I always have a choice of whether I judge that direction to be good or bad for me.
Philos is the love of what is good, what is right, what is positive, what is benign & what is beneficial in my life.
I love what I like and I like whatever has value & worth in my life.
I choose Eros because it completes me and I choose Philos because it endorses me.
I love it when people choose the same choices as me because I consider them to be like me.
I like the people who love the same things as me because it endorses my choices and acknowledges them as good, right, positive & beneficial.
Platonic love is the shared perception of two people travelling on the same path, with a mutual perspective & love of life.
It is the beneficial experience of shared values, shared beliefs and complimentary emotional needs.
Whereas Eros shares the emotional need to be loved, Philos shares the emotional need to be liked.
