Document Summary

The first of these influences is to create the basis for making love the path to supreme. Answer: value: to the blessing of the highest beauty and goodness; to true virtue; to what is pure and eternal. To create the real path to eternal, good, and ever lasting love. The second is to think that sexual desire can lie at the beginning of the path towards the highest love, but that it is not what the highest love is finally about or where it is really consummated. This is basically saying that sex at the beginning can be at the beginning of a relationship, but it cannot be the reason why the love stays as strong as it was. Love must eventually come from somewhere other than sex. The third platonic idea still with us is the link between love and immortality.
