That's right, folks, another rant by SamuraiMujuru.
Author's Note-The following are opinons I have built up over the years through watching and studying of myself and those around me, be they adults, peers, younger children, etc. etc. etc. They are not meant to offend, mearly inspire thought and debate. If my views DO offend, my sincerest apologies.
Well start with the topic line. Is love love anymore? It is my opinion that love, in current society, has lost the meaning it once held. Why, you may ask? Take a look around sometime, listen closely. Love is tossed around so casually, you'll hear people one week say "oh, I just met my new boyfriend/girlfriend, he/she's so sweet, I love them", in the not to far future, typically, you will see them moping "oh my bf/gf left me, I'm so hurt" but a week later its back to "oh, I just met my new boyfriend/girlfriend, he/she's so sweet, I love them". Wait? Hardly any time goes by and they're already out of love with the person before and in love with the new one? When did it become that easy?
Love has become a catch phrase. "Buy this *insert object here* to show the love of your life how you feel" Wait, so you mean if I buy that specific object, it'll show I love them? But company A over there says it too, as does company B-Z. "I love you" is used constantly as an excuse, an apology, or a means to get down someone's pants.
Don't get me wrong, I do believe that out there there are people who mean it, who understand it, and to be honest, I'm one of the people of the opinion that love actually can conquer all. It just gets my blood boiling to see the word dragged through the mud.
*bows* I hope you enjoyed my small rant. Typically its much longer, but I'm having a bit of difficulty remembering the full thing (lack of sleep'll do that to you)
By all means, questions, comments, and debates are welcome, I enjoy them greatly.
