Alright...that was how the dictionary describes the word "love"...a word that is so common these days that its almost underrated...and perhaps under-valued too......so when you say you love a particular Mr. X or Ms. Y, you say you love a song, you say you love a celebrity, you say you love your dog......Do you actually realize the value of that small four letter word which has changed the world???
Contrary to the age of secret love letters and shy poetic romances, we live in the cyber-savvy world of e-cards and Facebook....and so our "love" has also evolved into a more convenient form of emotion.......we tend to love everything from our college to our friends to our favorite singer.....and we are proud of the fact that we do...we have no hassles in proclaiming that we love that guy or gal or movie or song or whatever the heck man!! you might hate our guts for it...but we just LOVE to love stuff..........
And coming back to the convinience aspect of it........ we've shortened love to "luv" or simply "lv", kisses and hugs have evolved into "mwah"s and "xoxo"s or those fabulous smileys >:D< and :-* but hey shortening stuff doesnt mean we love any less.....
You want to propose a gal?....no need to go down on your knees....send an e-card instead...you want to hug a friend who's 10 miles away?......send a virtual hug on Fb....out of words and dont know what to say?......just 'xoxo' your frnz...!!!and there you go....what easier way to express yourself and spread all that love and joy.....
But yeah dont let that virtual reality overpower the actual thing...a silly love poem that you sing to your lover and a bear hug that you envelop your friend in are those few things which cannot be replaced whatsoever...And for all the shy ones out there who don't know how to go about saying that you love someone......no worries....SMS texts, Emoticons and Superpoke are to the rescue!.......I'm sure you're already finding that cute guy next door on your social networking site....lol....
Take care people....XOXO ;)
