First off, go watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZqb-_Y7et0
His words are enough.
I wanted to share this topic in the community because I consider this a very interesting topic for us to talk about. If you haven't read Ricardus article about saying I love you, I recommend checking it out so you can see different opinions on the subject.
I want to comment on this phrase, of its absurdity. The phrase sums up what western idea of relationships is, the whole lalala of finding a soulmate, that has driven our minds to idiotic thoughts about our lovers. The phrase in itself carries a lot of this bullcrap.
Grammatically speaking 'I love you' is incorrect. Now, I'm not in any way an expert, nor is english my mother language, and correct me If I'm wrong, but isn't love a quality and not an action?
You can say "I like you" you have both the transmitter and the receiver, then in the middle you have the action. To like somebody is to appreciate their company, to dig their behavior, and enjoy their personality. Yet, saying you love someone seems to be more complex. We can say that loving someone is having feelings for that person, but, that can also count as I like you. Maybe I love you means "I'm attracted to you", wait, I like you also sums that as well.
It seems that saying I like you is more precise and correct, in our relationships, than I love you. Love is hard to talk about, they who know say it's acceptance and trust, yet we can have those without anyone.
Saying I love you or saying I trust you, or if you are christian talking to an atheist, saying I accept you, is not correct in a way because they are qualities not feelings.
''I love you'' as a way to communicate a feeling is what has brought all of the misunderstanding there is in the planet's relationships. I've heard that saying ''I love'' or "I trust" is far more real than saying I love you or I trust you.
Love as in relationship is very complex thing, and I don't think it has anything to do with the real love, it's biological.
What do you guys think?
