Love
Love, in Latin is not one single word. In Latin love is at least 8 different words all meaning different types of love or love relationships. In the English language all we have is love to describe those thirteen types. You have love for your spouse / significant other, for your family, for your kids, for friends, for animals, for passions, for inanimate objects, and even more. I believe that using one word to describe soooo much has depreciated the use and value of the word and made it harder to use. How often does one man say I love you to another out of friendship for fear of pushing their friend away? Why else would we be skeptical of love or even fear it?
This is dis-including people who have been abused with false love. Why is it an unspeakable thing outside of the family unit? It is almost abhorrently appalling to declare love for another in public. How can we let ourselves be pressured into this corrosive way of living. I have friends I truly love and when I tell them they have a tendency to look at me funny or ignore it all together. Sadly, such is the way of the world but I believe we who are strong need to fight against the degradation of love and its true form. For without love for each other how can we become what we are destined to be? Without love for each other how can we truly say we love ourselves? So i suppose my challenge is to you to go up to a close friend whom you have never said "I love you" to and say it. there is nothing wrong with one person loving another. Same gender or not. Never in my life would I dream of not being able to say I love you to those I truly do love. Fore self-expression is a right.
