The love of man and woman—eros in Greek—and the unselfish love of others (agape), are often contrasted as "descending" and "ascending" love, respectively, but are ultimately the same thing.[46]
Upendo wa mwanamume na mwanamke—eros katika Kigiriki—na upendo usio na ubinafsi wa wengine (agape), mara nyingi hutofautishwa kama upendo wa “kushuka” na “kupanda” mtawalia, lakini hatimaye ni kitu kimoja.[46]
