Are they not aspects of love we choose?

Can you love someone and Not die for them?

Do you love your husband the 'same way' you love your kids?

Do you love your friends the same way you love your dog?

Those degrees or aspects of love we share with some and not others is the difference between the choice of agape' that God has asked of us, and the eros or phila that we have no choice but to 'feel.'
