Love – One of the most mystical yet generally “loved” words for an abstract concept that is able to describe so many things at once needs more words than just the term Love. Let me compare “Love” with the concept of colors: We don’t say to every color just “Oh wow a color” – instead we have 11 different words (basic-terms for colors in English) to categorize the spectrum of the 10 million+ shades of color that the human eye is able to perceive.
Personally I am able to experience the feeling of love for many things, but this feeling always is different regarding its context and specially in communicating this perceived feeling with others, the word “Love” would never communicate the feeling I am experiencing in this moment for this specific context. And I am not alone with this feeling, so many people would never say they “Love” something due to the potential of communicating something wrong which makes every society that misses the missing words collectively emotionally immature in a certain way.
There is a feeling of love in different shades and colors for the appreciation of things and experiences, nostalgia, love for acquaintances, friends, family, potential partners and others with whom you have long-term established relationships. (If you are in one of the mentioned categories feel loved in a unique way in a word that needs to be created – and if you are a curious reader feel also loved as our way of thinking might be compatible ❤️)
While language itself is one of the most sophisticated forms of communication available to us, it is extremely limited in my opinion and the more nuanced and diverse a language is in itself, the more nuanced and automatically deeper may the general way of thinking across people, as frameworks like languages are always are just a provider of room and potential.
