And as many schools of thought have emerged as to how people should regard and behave their fellow humans, Lewi’s book has maintained a Christian view on the various forms of love as ways in giving and showing what we have for others. Visher (2003) pointed out that while the past eras have looked upon religion as the common framework under which everyday existence proceeds, local and international laws have long replaced this role. This paper shall try to explore the purpose of Lewis in defining four loves, as well as delineate personal or modern individual’s understanding of love, specifically eros and the others. But technically, the word has evolved to mean a lot of things, and surprisingly, Lewis has also warned of its evil implications. However, Love is a much-abused term in the modern context as most ordinary people easily use it in their day-to-day interaction without having to fully understand what it encompasses, or means. Love has been connected closely with relationships, as love seems to exist always between two or more individuals. Its many aspects, facets, interpretation, and forms of expression have been painted, acted upon, portrayed, and re-portrayed in many forms of arts, visual and performing. Love has been a fountain of inspiration for many poets, writers, musicians, and artists.
