I LoveYou
Importance of “I Love You”
There is only eight letters, three small words, but maybe, just maybe, these are the most important three words in the entire english language. So why is it that we as humans do find it so hard to say them, and in a lot of cases, find it even harder to actually mean them. The other thing I find with these three words is why is it that in copious cases, when I have said them, the person I have said them to, just dismisses them as if they mean almost nothing.
Listed below is “I Love You” in a whole range of other languages, maybe if I said Je t'aime, rather than I love you, it might have a greater impact. Although I also think the Javanese way, “Kulo tresno marang panjenengan” might be even more fun, maybe it would at least get a laugh.
Imagine a word whereby we did really just love everyone. Where hate was an emotion that just no longer existed. Imagine if humans could no longer hate, if we were stripped of that emotion and from that point on all we could feel is love for each other. Now I know that is never going to happen, and if anything the world is more likely to go the opposite direction, but every now and then it is nice, it is a good thing, to just sit back and wish for something really special to happen. So “Volim Te” to you all, go on, pick one and pass it on, pick one and say it to someone you know.
