I went to search for the meaning of the word "Love" today. And
found out that a lot of the definitions involved a person of the opposite sex or the act
of making love. I went on Webster dictionary to find several meanings;
“Especially, devoted attachment to, or tender or passionate affection for, one of the opposite sex"
Nowadays it could be from the same sex!
“Courtship; chiefly in the phrase to make love i.e., to court, to woo, to solicit in marriage"
Now a day
it could be just couples leaving together, who is getting married now?
But then one of my favorite ones:
“A feeling of strong attachment induced by that which delights or commands admirations; preeminent kindness or devotion to another; affection; tenderness; as of the love of brothers and sisters."
Although I have to say that not all brothers and sisters love each other!
We need
to find a new universal definition, one that will include everyone. But just by
expressing the word in actions in everything we do, in every word we say, we
would have accomplished a lot.
It has to
be beyond religion, beyond sex, beyond marriage. It has to
be part of us and our lives.
So have a happy day of LOVE. And enjoy it with all the people you encounter today and every day.
