bullshit!

If it's one thing I can not stand, it's people who wear all of their love out on their sleeve. Im talking about those people who have countless numbers of "love bars" for everything, saying "turkey is love" or "justin timberlake is love". Im also talking about the people who dedicate entire paragraphs of their own personal webspace to their ( Read more... )

I don't understand those bars, how did that start? I was looking at the webpage that says who's updated most reciently.. and at any given time there's over five of those damn bars.

I agree that the word 'love' has been overused. To the point it almost seems empty when truthfully said, and 'there's no words to describe' suits the situation better. It's odd, if you ask me.

As far as love goes, I believe in loving your friends, family, and significant other. But using the word love when referring to ice cream, or videogames, or barbera streisand(holds back vomit) is just ridiculous. I find that most people have no idea truly what love is, or what any other emotions are. Love and tolerance are completely overdone in this country, and nobody seems to understand that unless you feel hate, you can not feel love. You can not have one side of the spectrum without the other. And, I dont mean petty hate, like grr! I hate my boss! He didnt give me a raise. I mean like GRR! I FUCKING HATE THAT KID! HE STANDS FOR EVERYTHING I THINK IS MORALLY WRONG! I dont know, I just think that when you love someone, it should be no mystery why you also hate someone else. You have to have some sort of balance, or your life would be weird. And if people are going to celebrate their love, why ignore their hatreds?

I agree with that. (That's the cause of a good portion of my discontent at the moment. I don't know how to tell my friends or their friends that I hate them sometimes. :p It's concidered wrong, somehow, and I've been upholding this image of being the person people can be comfortable around saying anything they wish, that I've forgotten how to express my discontent.) In a way, I don't follow the 'rules'.. I find everything beautiful, both 'love' and 'hate' as concepts. Both equals, in a sense, as if both required, like you said. The problem with both celebrating love and not ignoring haterd is how jaded everyone would become, like they have become of love. So, there does need to be a balance. But, with that said, everyone I talk to seems to think that 'I love ice cream!' isn't a very good use of the word, yet still occasionaly say it. So I dunno. :p I, myself, say it sometimes. But I find there are an extensive amount of levels of love. And the true, top levels cannot be expressed through words, which are already empty, but instead ( ... )

You are very much so right. There are different levels of love and hatred.. I guess I kinda forgot that. Lately, Ive been kinda bipolar, and have forgotten about shades of gray. But, the word love is thrown around far too much in my view, and people are afraid to show hate or contempt even though everyone feels it. As far as the highest levels of love, you are right. Words do not do a sufficient enough job of expressing it. They just come out empty, and insufficient.
