" Love's Definition: see 'undefinable' "

Is it possible to use the word "love" too much?

That's a sad thought, but honestly, if we throw it around and use it like it's no big deal then can't it possibly lose it's value??

It's like a cell-phone. If you're a 'super texter' (unlike me) and text and use your phone all the time, it'll die faster. But if you use it for emergencies and when you actually NEED to make a call, it won't die as fast, right?

I think that's with love. People throw the word around so much it begins to lose value. Can we really fathom love? Have we even discovered love yet? (Yes.) But why would we give our family the same thing we give material objects like clothes and iPods: love?

"I think it is amazing that the english language is one of the only language's that has a sole word for 'love'. I envisage it is a word that is overly battered in our society. how can you tell you dad/mom/relative that you love them, and then within the same hour say "i love your new clothing", or "don't you just love that album?" . are we not statying that this thought/feeling caleld love can be attributed to both someone we deeply care aout and also a resplendent looking innanament object?
many songs have been written about this experience called love, but in the words of christian winterset "i love you means more if first said tomorrow."
in other words don't throw the phrase "i love you" around haphazardly like it will return to you when you truly need it to mean something. i think people should wait until they ahve observed the 'behind the scenes', and made sure the other person ahs truly proven that htye are not a mere actor/actress. for if 'all the world is a stage', then love...(is) the inspiration for each and every individual performance."

(Yes, I got the book in the mail :D)

So instead of throwing it around, if we truly love the person, say it. make it treasurable. yes, love everybody, love your neighbors; just let's value this thing we call love more; because love can do alot more to us than we can to love itself.
