Definitions of the Soul

Feb 26, 2005 15:03

I found myself doubting the word love. It is nothing more then a mere stamp that hallmark uses to try and fit the human emotion on for sale. It confines, labels, and stagnates the true human emotion that we may feel for another. Because, truly, does love define the feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night choking on your own nightmare and your lover simply curls around you in their sleep without question? That single four letter word is not enough for me. It does no justice to what my mind and soul are capable of. Notice here that I do not use the word heart because the only heart that exists in the human body is a muscle that pumps the fluid that we need to live. It have no nerves, it has no capability of transmitting feelings or images. No, if there is anything that exists in our bodies that could be the metaphysical heart, it is the brain. I will not argue the form of the soul. It will take too long for this to even open up that flood gate. So here is my dilema, what is a better word to use then love? If we do not have it in English, what language does have it? I am at a loss. I am tired of saying the word love and having it defined in my own being and finding out it means something completely different to the receptor. The things I am capable of and those that I am not are not clear when I say the word love and I find myself growing tired of being hurt over misconception. Thefore, I leave it in the hands of my friends.
