What is love?

Love in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology of DREVO, love is viewed as a natural state of a mature personality, aimed at preserving, developing and revealing life.

• Love is not just a feeling.
• Not just emotion.
• Not just biological attraction.

Love is an attitude towards life that is expressed through care, respect, responsibility and the desire to develop another person, oneself and the world around us.

What is love?

Love is the desire to preserve, develop and reveal life.

A person can love:

• another person;
• child;
• family;→
• friends;
• your own business;
• nature;→
• knowledge;→
• art;
• Homeland;
• humanity.→

In all cases, love is manifested in the same way.

It promotes development, not destruction.

Love and development

• Love is always aimed at growth.
• A loving parent helps a child become independent.
• A loving teacher helps a student to discover his abilities.
• A loving doctor strives to restore health.
• A loving person does not seek to possess another person.
• He strives to help him become more free, mature and happier.
• That's why love doesn't hold back.
• Love helps you grow.

Love and freedom

True love is impossible without freedom.

Where there is violence, constant control, or the desire to completely subjugate another to one's will, love gradually gives way to dependence or fear.

Love respects another person's right to be themselves.

It does not abolish responsibility and mutual obligations, but it excludes the treatment of a person as property.

Love and responsibility

• Love is not limited to feelings.
• It manifests itself through actions.
• Care.
• Loyalty.
• Honesty.
• Support.
• The ability to be there in difficult times.
• Responsibility makes love sustainable.

Love and respect

Love begins with recognizing the worth of another person.

She doesn't demand perfection.

She accepts a person as an individual, recognizing his right to development, mistakes and change.

Respect creates a space in which love can exist for a long time.

Love and Creation

Love always creates.

She creates:

• family;→
• trust;→
• friendship;
• culture;→
• knowledge;→
• cooperation;→
• safety;
• future.→

Where love disappears, it becomes more difficult for a person to create together with others.

Love for oneself

• Loving yourself does not mean being selfish.
• It means respect for one's own life, health, dignity and development.
• A person who takes care of himself is more able to take care of others.
• Love for oneself and love for others are not opposed.
• They support each other.

Love and Humanity

The highest form of love becomes the desire to preserve and develop life in all its manifestations.

Such love is shown through:

• raising children;
• helping people;
• scientific discoveries;
• protection of nature;
• development of culture;→
• creation of a just society;
• service to future generations.

Love becomes the driving force of creative civilization.

The main principle

Love cannot be measured in words.

It is measured by how much more life, freedom, trust, development and creation there is after meeting a person.

True love does not make a person weaker.

She helps him bring out the best in him.

Definition

Love is a conscious desire to preserve, develop and reveal life, manifested through respect, care, responsibility, freedom and creative actions.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, love is viewed as one of the highest forms of personal maturity. It unites the body, psyche, consciousness, will, soul, and spirit into a single direction—the development of life.

Love is the energy of creation that transforms existence into development, relationships into cooperation, and a person into a source of life for others.

Note.The last phrase uses the word "energy" in a philosophical, not physical, sense. Within DREVO, love is understood as a driving force of personality, not as a measurable form of physical energy.
