” Platonic love
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Platonic love, in its modern popular sense, is a non-sexual affectionate relationship. A simple example of Platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual friendship, not subject to gender pairings and not excluding close relatives.
At the same time, this interpretation is a misunderstanding of the nature of the Platonic ideal of love which from its origin was that of a chaste but deep love. In its original Platonic form, this love was meant to bring the two people closer to wisdom and the Platonic Form of Beauty. It is described in depth in Plato’s Phaedrus and Symposium. In the Phaedrus, it is said to be a form of divine madness that is a gift from the gods, and that its proper expression is rewarded by the gods in the afterlife; in the Symposium, the method by which love takes one to the form of beauty and wisdom is detailed….. ”...... *

I wonder if, something started as platonic love, can become LOVE, in another shape…
Are there any hopes in Platonic LOVE, to be fulfilled as in a FULL Relationship in life… ?....
Or perhaps both sides of Platonic love, prefers it continue this way… and stay at ideal state in mind ?
And what if… Only one side wish platonic love to become REAL FULL Relationship, when the touch is more then just in heart , mind & soul…. (?)
Must the side wishes platonic love to change it’s state… Must do something to change the situation…
Or simply accept the situation , as it is, enjoy what IS….. – PLATONIC !
Or simply cut from that relationship….
Can it be, that in Platonic love, there is only one, that LOVE, And the other doesn’t know, or feel it ?...
I can understand that a DREAMER, can have Platonic Love… Even life time lasting…
Yet ,
Can it be that a VERY PRACTICAL person, will have Platonic love for long period of time, without the ability or the will to change the situation ?...
Thoughts I had, while having Platonic Love, years ago…
Of course, the answer comes from a person mind.
Thanks a lot for viewing and commenting,
May your LOVE LIFE, Will blossom the way, you wish them to.
I started a thread in this topic - General discussion.
