Philia- Friendship
Philia is the love between friends. Friendship is the strong bond existing between people who share common interest or activity. Friendship is exceedingly profound because it is freely chosen. Friendship Love is different from the other Loves. Friendship is described as, “the least biological, organic, instinctive, gregarious and necessary of our Loves” - our species does not need Friendship in order to reproduce. “To the Ancients, Friendship seemed the happiest and most fully human of all loves; the crown of life and the school of virtue. The modern world, in comparison, ignores it”. Few people in modern society appreciate true Friendship because few of them have experienced it.
