Philia is the new word of the day.
This word is Greek in origin and it means something everyone needs. Young, old or anywhere in between we all crave this in some sort of way. Some of us look for it in strange places or things. So not to confuse anyone the meaning of (fil’e) is tendency toward; strong or abnormal attraction to. For some of you it could be the opposite sex, food, toys, guns, fishing equipment, tobacco and the list goes on. Mine is my faith and family what say you?
It is a greek word for Love, Affection. This is an excellent word to feature - Thanks James...
James, why does "abnormal" have to be part of it? lol. Phamily, Phriends and Photography and Phaith in humankind in spite of their daily phailings. Have a good weekend.
Hi James,
Got me on this one. I really would not have guessed it at all.
And "NO I was not popular in high school" LOL
Best, Clint McKie
James ...I have to go with yours this morning! Can't wait to tell my wife I have a Philia for her!
Have a great day in AR!
The definition makes sense to me and a work I can incorporate into my vocabulary.
Thank you for sharing this new word with all of us.
I do have a philia for my father in heaven, my family and friends Good one James!
Thanks you James for another new word added to my vocabulary. ..have a great weekend!
Thanks for the enlightenment James! I'll definitely be using this word more often now. Thanks again and have a great day
James- I had an inkling but was totally correct. Mine would be my family and friends.
Hi James.
It is normal to be attracted to the opposite...
Have a nice weekend.
So, that must be why people live in Philiadelphia?
I have a cousin who lives near Philia, but in New Jersey. Is there a Greek word for that?
