We ended 2022 on a note of hope and want not only to keep this positive vibe in 2023 but above all to combine it with action to acquire and keep what we dream of.
In reality everyone likes money. Money has enough power to shape happy or sad moments for human beings. Everyone needs money to secure the basics /essentials, such as: a roof on their head, food, heating, health, travel, clothes… their education / or their children’s or grandchildren’s education if they are parents or grandparents.

However, LOVE is and remains one of the most important, intense and invaluable emotions that Money Cannot Buy. Remember Saint Thomas Aquinas famous quotes about love and friendship.
“Love must precede hatred […]”
“Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.”
“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.”
Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 – 1274) Influenced by Aristotle, Plato, Cicero, Peter Lombard.
However, LOVE is and remains one of the most important, intense and invaluable emotions that Money Cannot Buy.
Everyone alive and well today, should be thankful to have experienced love and or one or more of its derivatives. They should make sure they remain happy with that gift (s) regardless of the hardship they can experience in life.
Money may earn you attraction and attention, but not love.

Love and its subsections
The first and most important emotion that develops between people who know each other to an extent and which money cannot buy is love. As a reminder, Love is not solely sexual attraction or passion, love branches out in 4 different types on a philosophical perspective.

According to St Thomas Aquina’s (philosophical doctrine each love is suitable to all)
There are aspects of our life, ourself, relationships, and encounters that forever will be priceless. People fall in “love” for different reasons.
Love is unconditional and keeps people in connection with each other. Money may earn you attraction and attention, but not love.
Agape (Love of mankind)
Agape is a word originated from Ancient Greece. Agape Love extends to include a brotherly love for all humanity.
Agape (Love of mankind)
Agape is a word originated from Ancient Greece. Agape Love extends to include a brotherly love for all humanity.
It is a type of passion without the necessity of reciprocity. In 2023, we should continue to love or learn how to love those surrounding us. With the love of mankind we can end all types of slavery, all types of war, arms trafficking, hate, jealousy, treasons, racism, tribalism, political feuds, poverty, jealousy, all types of crimes, human trafficking , sex trafficking , organ trafficking , drug trafficking, social class tensions, social unrest , child poverty, ethnic cleansing, gender inequality, religious tensions to list a few .

Humans are by far the most beautiful beings in the universe that we are aware of.

Agape finds echoes in the ethics of The German philosopher Immanuel Kant’s (1724-1804) and who asserts the moral importance of giving impartial respect or love to another person /human being.
Human beings should be what we value most.
Humans are by far the most beautiful beings in the universe that we are aware of. Human minds envision houses to shelter their kind.

Immanuel Kant deontological moral theory is arguably one of the best moral theories –he was an opponent of utilitarianism:
he believed that certain types of actions (including murder, theft, and lying) were absolutely prohibited, even if they resulted in more happiness than other alternatives.
For Kantians, we must ask ourselves whenever we decide to act ‘if our actions respect the goals of human beings rather than merely using them for our own purposes’.

In order to avoid depravation that will lead to the eventual extinction of our species, we should show respect and love towards our fellow human beings.

St Aquinas admits love towards those to whom we are related while maintaining that we should be charitable to all.
Humans create life in order for a new forthcoming generation to supersede them and to the extent of even so far as adopting.
Human minds create weapons, schools, educational books, hospitals, cars, trains, planes, humans find an excuse to start wars, treaties to end wars, humans can start and end slavery if they want to, humans create philosophy, music, art, sport, to improve the world in which we all live.
Humans create jobs, (Teachers, midwifes, builders, engineers, surgeons, chefs…)

In the current and extremally materialistic world and era of terror, where gruesome events are happening on a daily basis, if we love mankind unconditionally ,our aura /energy and or our actions add value to humanity.
The love of mankind provides us with a kind of self-fulfilment that money cannot.

Eros (Erotic: marriage, people in couples, relationships or partner)
The term eros also originated from Ancient Greece and is used to refer to that part of primal love that comes as a natural instinct for most people: that involves passion and an intense desire for something.
It is often referred to as a sexual desire, hence the modern concept of “erotic”. According to the Online Thesaurus: Eros is
Eros (Erotic: marriage, people in couples, relationships or partner)
According to the Online Thesaurus: Eros is
A passionate love displayed through physical affection. These romantic behaviours include, but are not limited to, kissing, hugging and holding hands. This love is a desire for another person’s physical body.
In 2023, if you find this type of love or have already find it, make sure you treasure and keep it. As it provides one not only with a self-fulfilment, but most importantly with the perfect balance to live a content and happy life.

A balanced and happy sex life enable us to be and remain physically, morally and intellectually receptive and fit to deliver good results in what we do.
Philia (Love of friends and equals)
The term Philia also originated from Ancient Greece. The word incorporates not only friendship, but also loyalties to family.
Philia or true friendship could not emanate from those who are quarrelsome, gossips, subtlety or explicitly deceptive, aggressive in manner and personality, Philia could not emanate from those who are trying to mislead you, take advantage of you, fool you or from those who are unjust.
True friends are not attracted to what you have and what you can give, but to who you are. It works just like love. When your money runs low, true friends should remain.
In 2023 if you already have true friends or find true friends, make sure you treasure and keep them.

Either to progress in society by climbing any career ladder, to perform our job, our role, citizen, parental, brotherhood, or parenthood, duties at its (or at their finest) finest.
Or to blossom in any business venture, wedlock, companionship or interaction with others …
Money may stimulate love-making performance if one makes love in a beautiful setting or luxury environment, but money cannot buy a real orgasm. Real orgasm comes from within, from a happy, genuine, committed and mutually involved and agreed relationship or wedlock.
Love making can transform the love life of both the giver and receiver: we all need sexual wellness to feel great and happy.
Storge (Love of parents, children, nuclear family, and extended family)
The term Storge also originated from Ancient Greece. The word Storge is innate in mankind: it is in our DNA. As soon as a child is born, they are ready to show love.

Philia (Love of friends and equals)
The term Philia also originated from Ancient Greece. The word incorporates not only friendship, but also loyalties to family.
The motivational distinctions are derived from love for another because the friendship is wholly useful in: business contacts, or because their character and values are pleasing, or just for who they are in themselves, regardless of one’s interests in the matter.
A parent who loves you shares their experience with you, their wisdom, with you to prevent you from falling into traps, from crashing when you cross the hurdles of life.
In 2023, if you are alive and well, be grateful.

Money cannot buy true friends. True friends are always there when needed the most.
They provide you with moral and or financial support (IF THEY CAN) when you are down. They provide you with useful advice, and support to boost or to grow in whatever you do.
They have time for you, they care regardless of your status in society. In 2023 if you already have true friends or find true friends, make sure you treasure and keep them.
If you are ethically rich and or are blessed with love, if you able to enjoy the privilege to experience one or more out of all of the aforementioned Love and its derivatives, consider yourself as one of the wealthiest and luckiest on the planet.
The Bridge Magazine wishes you all a Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2023.
With Best Wishes in 2023.

Philia may produce the best kind of friendship and hence love: it means true friendship involves ethics.
Not to confuse with a business friendship which is purely based on utility–on mutual reciprocity of similar business interests; once the business is at an end, then the friendship dissolves as well.
Storge (Love of parents, children, nuclear family, and extended family)
The term Storge also originated from Ancient Greece. The word Storge is innate in mankind: it is in our DNA. As soon as a child is born, they are ready to show love.
The love that a child has for their parents, grandparents, siblings and caregivers, as well as the love that a parent or other caregiver has for their child is one of the most beautiful emotions and feelings one could experience in their lifetime.
