What a lovely list! I feel like these should be refrigerator magnets, kind of like those words you can move around to remind yourself what kind of day you want to have.
Wow! How fun! I literally am struggling to figure out what to say next 🤯 First off, I absolutely am in awe of the Greek language and its richness in vocabulary.
After learning this from practicing Stoicism it has made it clear to me that a lot of misunderstandings between people come from the vagueness of the language we use today. We have 1 word for emotions that are defined, expressed, and felt deeply in various ways (as you just presented).
I try to keep an awareness about this most especially during sensitive types of conversations that need to be communicated.
In regards to the 30 words that express Love—that IS Eudaimonia! 😍😍😍
Can we flourish without the bonds of Philia, the quiet magic of Meraki, or having a strong sense of self awareness required to cultivate Philautia (healthy self love)?

I love that idea!!! (Now is there an ancient Greek word for loving an idea?)
If not—Perhaps make one up?!

What a beautiful post.🙏🙏🙏 Thank you. 🤍
Now I know what the phrase, ( "The Greeks have a word for it) really mean.)
Thanks
It's SO true!
My Greek grandmother whom I was very close to said ‘your child’s child is twice your child.’
I feel a need to reread the ‘Symposium’ and also the CS Lewis book on different kinds of love.
Excellent reading materials for Valentines!
