By Erich Fromm
Fromm’s argument is that people treat love as a matter of finding the right object rather than developing a capacity, which is why so much of it fails. Love, in his account, is an art like medicine or music: it requires knowledge and effort, and most people are unwilling to give it either.
He works through brotherly love, motherly love, erotic love, self-love and love of God, and then through what practising it would actually demand: discipline, concentration, patience, and the ability to be alone.
