Abstract

Platonic love is a word used by psychologists to describe illusory love and connection. It is typically a one-sided love that revolves around the axis of imagination, with no objective and genuine interaction between the lover and the beloved. Many societies, people, and values, particularly psychologists, refer to this type of love as original and pure love. It is also known as divine love, while the opposite is earthly or bodily love. Plato, the Greek philosopher and thinker, preached a love that was solely spiritual and ideal, with no regard for the body, particularly sexual impulses. The lover and the adored have no relationship and do not make a connection. It is known as Platonic love since Plato cannot be held responsible for its defeat or failure. This love was not previously known as Platonic love, as it is today, but researchers of our time, who studied Plato's norms and values for love, attributed this view of love to him in Pashto poetry. There are several examples of such love, and the purpose of this article is to explore a few of them.
