Plato’s Symposium is a discussion on the nature and meaning of love. A man’s love was viewed as the highest form of affection, best understood and appreciated by men. It’s only aim is to fulfill that which it desires. There are different kind of love and it is not just limited to being aroused for another human being but is also extended to all living things, objects, and theories. Love is not confined and it knows no restrictions. Love is defined based on the individual and their background.

Plato discussion and meaning of love/desire is what we have in reality nowadays. I agree with you that love is defined based on the individual, but there’s that something about a person that if we didn’t knew when we met them, once they reveal it we are meant to desire them because of it. Most of the times the desire goes away with time, but that doesn’t mean you stop loving the person.
