The three forms of love: Eros, Philos, Agape
Paulo Coelho
[...:]
“Agape is total love, the love that devours those that experience it. Whoever knows and experiences Agape sees that nothing else in this world is of any importance, only loving. This was the love that Jesus felt for humanity, and it was so great that it shook the stars and changed the course of man’s history.”
“During the millennia of the history of civilization, many people have been smitten by this Love that Devours. They had so much to give – and the world demanded so little –
Quote of the Day
Paulo Coelho
The moment we set off in search of love, it sets off in search of us. And saves us.

Today’s question by the reader : Alex
How do we know if we should try to help someone or if we should walk away?
Dear Alex,
I think that there’s no true answer for this. But I take it from another perspective : how far are you willing to go for someone who is lost? How far can you walk away from your path in order to “help” someone who doesn’t want to be helped?
In The Alchemist, I use the metaphor of the sheperd : sometimes we sacrifice the whole flock for a single sheep. Is it worth it?

The three forms of love: Eros, Philos, Agape
Paulo Coelho
[...:]
The band struck up a waltz. People moved to a small paved area in front of the band-stand to dance. The alcohol began to show its effect and they all became merrier and drenched in sweat. I noticed a girl dressed in blue who must have been waiting for this wedding just for the moment of the waltz to arrive because she wanted to dance with someone she had dreamed of embracing ever since she entered adolescence. Her eyes followed the movements of a young man, well dressed in a lig
Quote of the Day
Paulo Coelho
Anything a man does can bring him closer to the Supreme Wisdom, as long as he works with Love in his heart.

Today’s question by the reader : Sylvia
What is more important to be loved or to love?
Dear Sylvia,
I think that if you could only choose one solution”: the best is to love. When you are in love, you live this miracle and you feel this strength.
On the other hand - to be loved - without the counterpart of loving is unbearable.
Your question though reminded me of a song by a very famous Brazilian singer: Roberto Carlos - “I will only love someone who loves be back”. This in my view is the perfect configuration.

The three forms of love: Eros, Philos, Agape
Paulo Coelho
In 1986, when I was on the road to Santiago with my guide Petrus, we passed through the city of Logroño while a wedding was taking place. We ordered two glasses of wine, I prepared something to nibble on, and Petrus discovered a table where we could sit down together with the other guests.
The wedding couple cut an immense cake.
“They must love one another,” I thought aloud.
“Of course they love one another,” said a man in a dark suit sitting at our table. Have you ever seen anyone get
