Permit me this time around to start with this quote... ""Meaning resides in Man and not in words"" Something comes to my mind wen I tell pple closer to me that I love dem...off course,its now a National anthem being sang by all and sundry..Yet,only few knows the strenght of the great word.... If a guy who nvr ask u out tells u as a lady he loves u,what meaning would u reside to this poem?... Does smtin tells u behind that he is in love and hasn't told you or dnt know how to tell u.... Dr issues does that,I mean,I tell Ladies,fans that I love this... This little write up will simply put u through..Courtesy,Dr Issues Ariwoola. Hmmmmn, I LOVE YOU" and "I DON'T LOVE YOU" I love you is a deep expression of your affection to someone whether relatives or love ones e.g spouse, fiance/fianceè e.t.c. Over the century, the statement now has various conflicting impressions and when someone tells you I love you or I don't love you; you need to LOOK BEYOND THE STATEMENT. When Rebekah saw Isaac for the first time, even at a distance away before formal introduction, they both CONNECTED immediately. I am confident to say it was not love at first sight because LOVE GROWS WHEN NURTURED only ATTRACTION gets you nearer to people. Gen.24:62-65. Nowaday the statement has become a GENERAL CHORUS, I love you could mean I want your money, I want to have sex with you e.t.c. I DON'T LOVE YOU! This statement means different things to different people. I don't love you to some people could mean *You are short * You are not rich * You are not handsome/ beautiful * Your spoken english is not sound *You are not social *You have local accent *You have no job *You don't dress well *I don't have feelings for you because we are not emotionally compatible *I don't like being seen with you *I don't miss you when we are apart. * You are not from my state of origin e.t.c. Love goes beyond affluence and physical beauty, it is a thing of the HEART. Don't say it when you don't mean it well. Hope this is helpful? DR ISSUES ARIWOOLA.
