Levels of Love - lesser-known sermons from the wise Dr.Martin Luther King 

What kind of love do you extend to others? Martin Luther King Jr. offered wise sermons on levels of love in lesser known sermons, that are actually a psychologist's dream.
The levels go from "utilitarian" love (using others) to "romantic" love to "humanitarian" love (says King:Within every man there is something sacred and so all humanity must be loved") to “unconditional” love (the principle of non-judgment at the core of psychologist Carl Jung's highest level of llove as well).
Says King of unconditional love:“The person may be rich, or the person may be poor. The person may be up and in; the person may be down and out. The person may be white; the person may be black. The person may be Jew; the person may be Gentile. The person may be Catholic; the person may be Protestant. In other words, you come to the point of loving every man and become an all-inclusive love. It is the love of God operating in the human heart. And it comes to the point that you even love the enemy.”
