The ancient Greeks in the hunt for knowledge and pursuit of wisdom found these different kinds of lovers. These lovers are seen in the current generation as well.

So, let's understand the kinds of lovers we can see today walking amongst us.

1. The Selfless Lover

This is considered to be the universal love. Selfless lovers are the ones who just give love. They don't hold back. They have the love for nature, humans, animals, etc.

This type of love is not the emotional one. It has nothing to do with the condition-based type of love that our sex-obsessed culture tries to pass as love. It is an unconditional love or a spiritual one. It is bigger than our own love.

It is considered to be the purest form of love, as there is no desire and expectation.

Selfless lovers, love regardless of any shortcomings of others.

It is that divine love which believes only in giving and spreading the love far and wide.

2. The Self Lover

This kind of lover believes in the concept - once we can love ourselves, we can love others.

This is not self-obsession or the methods of gathering fame for yourself. This is the healthiest form of self-love.

4. The Obsessive Kind

If the partner fails to reciprocate such kind of love, many issues prevail. It makes the lover codependent on his/her partner.
