Last night, I started reading a new book called 'Halo'. One paragraph caught my eye and really made me think.
"One of the most frustrating words in the human language, as far as I could tell, was love. So much meaning attached to this one little word. People bandied it about freely, using it to describe their attachments to possessions, pets, vacation destinations, and favorite foods. In the same breath, they then applied this word to a person they considered most important in their lives. Wasn't that insulting? Shouldn't there be some other term to describe deeper emotion?"
Only twelve pages in and the author has already gained my respect. I've never even thought about that concept.
