Love is just a word...what matters is the connection it implies...that is to say it is a relative term that is interchangable depending on the circumstance. The love from a mother to a child is different from the love of her husband or the love of a sister. I can say I love ice cream but that is not the same as saying I love my mom. My point is that people throw around words without truly knowing the depth of the connection a person is implying. A person can tell me they love me, but without actions and a connection to put it into perspective......it's just another four letter word...

Love is a verb, not a noun. Eros, agape, and philo are types of feelings associated with love. Love is the high esteem you hold someone in and how you treat them accordingly.. not the feeling itself. Feelings fleet but real love doesn't change as easily as feelings do.

Context is key. There are text that will have very different meanings depending on the language of the interpreter. Even in spells...but eitherway, I do understand your point and in many ways we are saying the same thing. And yes words are my craft. So I understand their implied power

We are talking about human beings on a planet that we live on. Until the is a universally accepted norm for language, there will always be different translations and inferance when it comes to any text. It makes no difference if ine person believes there is only one language if 6 billion do not. The idea is to teach in a way that is simple enough that there is less room for loose interpretation of the message you wish to convey. As such I think you are doing great. Just don't forget context. We may not like what people do with the word love, but they still do it. Therefore it is a matter of meeting people where they are, not where you think they should be. That is the beauty of words and language. We can use them to meet people on whatever level they need to make them understand. I love the term,"love is a verb" it sums up this entire subject quite nicely. See I just did it again. And it came out so naturally that I didn't even notice until just now. Does that take away from the most powerful interpretation of the word? I don't think so. But it shows that without a contextual base around the word, it loses its impact.

callmemansa83 Nope, I meant philo. Philo: Greek, combining form of philos, loving, dear having a strong affinity or preference for. There's variations of "philia" but I think you get my point. (Shrugs)
