Have you ever thought about how inspecific and, ultimately, useless the word love is? We use it as this overarching, catch-can word to describe this vastly complex emotion that is essentially indefinable. You have to think about how many separate, complex emotions are involved in love; amenity, passion, compassion, lust, friendship, companionship, empathy, sentementality, affection, kinship, attachment, devotion, admiration, attraction, desire, pity, sympathy, tenderness, benevolence, and whole other slew of equally indefinable words. Even with the understanding that all words are arbitrary symbols that only refer to any existing or abract concept because the people who speak the language agree upon them and the realization that abstract concepts, such as love and emotion, are infinately more troublesome than tangible concepts, such as table or chair, you have to admit, this word is severly lacking. On the other hand, if you're going to start arguing over the referential power of any given word, you're brining into question the indicative ability of all words. Frankly, words are completely subjective and totally meaningless; they only gain meaning by the agreement speakers make by their usage of them. I feel like I'm getting off the rails a little here, but what I'm saying is all words are lacking, mostly due to personal perception. When I say the word 'table' you and I will undoubtedly have a different mental conception. Likely we'll both think of a flat surface raised off the ground used to set things on, but, for instance, you may think of a coffee table and I may think of a dinner table. Both tables, yet distinctly different. So if we have this much confusion for a tangible, interactable object, a complex, nearly indefinable concept such as love is unlikely to be done justice by the limited power of words. This is bare-base Linguistics stuff, and I apologize to anyone who sees all this as rudimentary, but as a writer it's fairly interesting to realize the limitations of my preferred medium. This is obviously an age old problem and it's not anything that's really hindering me in my writing, not at the moment anyway, I just thought it'd be nice to bring you into the things that keep me up at night.
