     The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂).   1   Separateness, according to
psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.
      2 It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between
two kinds of love: B-love or "being love" means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent
upon your own needs. D-love or "deficiency-love" is a selfish possessive love which is based upon
someone else's ability to satisfy your needs.
     D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…But B-love is
unconditional.    3   Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow
yourself to be known to the other person.
     The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love.  4   Symbiotic union is
an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow's concept of D-love.
     Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their
independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of
separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , "I love you because I need
you," but the mature one: " 5   "
A.There are two types of love.
B.I need you because I love you.
C.Love is a way of overcoming the feeling
D.Every one of us needs love.
E.It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
F.They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.
G.These two types are quite different from each other.
