Chapter Five: Throwing Words
To love a thing means wanting it to live.
~Confucius~
Many people don't ignore talking about love. Musicians sing about love often, especially in today's culture. It's a word we all throw around casually. Honestly, the word is overused and underrated. Claims to be in love are mistaken too much.
How come we avoid topics of love? Is it due to the discomfort and cheesiness drawn out when love enters a conversation? The world has an egotistical population. We aren't ashamed of love, well, most of mankind. Its because people don't care unless they love you. Human nature, that's all it is. The only reasons a person may feel odd with declarations of love are: a.) Fear of the feeling not being returned, b). Uncertainty and fear of sounding cheesy and dumb c). They feel the need to say it, despite the truth, or lack thereof in their statement.
One of the first things drivers do when they get into their car is turn on the radio, filling their vehicles with music and songs. Many of those songs are about love. Singers nowadays generally sing about love/sex, drugs, and emotional pain. The love songs, and heartbreak stories told in the lyrics are drilled into peoples' heads. On the streets, in the shower, along with the radio, citizens belt out songs they hear over and over again. Reading between the lines of the songwriter, one can discover little truths in some of the music they listen to, gain some insight on the feelings of love. Other songs however are full of crap. They don't know the feel of love; they don't know the strength of the word love, or its power.
