K5: "Yes, Daniel a little [[commentary]] and then I have a couple of [[questions]]. I find I [[agree]] with [[Scripture]], with [[Jesus]], with yourself, with [[Abraham]] that [[love]] is the [[essence]] of life. However I find that what love is, is very [[complicated]] to me. I can [[read]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_Saint_Francis St. Francis' prayer] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_XIII Corinthians 13] in describing love but I still find sometimes love is very hard to [[understand]]. Sometimes it gets [[complicated]] in that..well the commentary. Before my Dad died, well a week before he died I took him to the [[hospital]]. In all the years our [[relationship]] was tense and terse and I never heard him say that he loved me or anybody else. And on the way to hospital I told him that I [[loved]] him. And in turn he said to me, 'I've never been able to use that [[word]]'. And even then in describing that he wasn't able to say [[love]], he had to say 'that word'. And then he said, 'As I was growing up as a child I have seen too many people use the word [[promiscuously]], that you can use it so much that it loses its [[meaning]]'. I find myself doing that, too easily using the [[word]] [[love]]. In the trying to [[understand]] love is to try to understand what love is and sometimes I get caught up in between [[self]] [[esteem]] and self centeredness and its what I do and why do I do it, I guess. Sometimes I see myself [[motivating]] myself for other reasons and [[thinking]] that's [[love]] and it's not love. It's for my own grandeur or whatever. I guess my question is how does one..sometimes it's obvious..when [[love]] is love. I find a lot of times within myself and with others, love is hard to understand and to know. I guess that is my question or questions. Or what is the [[difference]] between...I think that also when we give the greatest thing we can do your friend is die for your friend. Is that [[love]]? But I think even that can be, we can do that for another [[motivating]] [[factor]]. How does one tell when one is really loving and is not? Two questions, several questions, thank you."

Daniel: "Yes, and these are good questions. First [[love]] is a word. [[Words]] are only words. They convey [[feelings]], [[emotions]]. They are used in [[communication]]. And so whatever definition is attached then that becomes that word. And as you say, over times words often lose their [[meaning]], take on other meanings. So know that this is just a word. But words help us to [[communicate]].
