Something tells me this one won't be here all that long

I don't agree that one "loves" a plant. Or a car, or dress, or house etc. You may really like it, want it, but I believe it demeans the meaning of the word Love.

When I was teaching catechism, the children and I talked about love, real meaning of love. I asked them: Do you really love your friend's new bike? Do you really love your friend's new dress? Do you really love candy? Things along those lines, many material things. They, in the second grade, came up with they didn't love them but really really liked them. I asked who they really love. They said their parents, Jesus, grandparents and I think there was a guardian angel in there.

A project for the year was for us to fraternally correct each other, including me the teacher, when we used the word love instead of like and when we used the word hate. It was a good project, they did well and we all learned. I wanted them to learn/understand how special love truly is for us. (I did not go into marketing and how it manipulates but kept it simple.) I added Sacred Scripture texts, including parables, again trying to keep it simple yet profound.

It's subjective

What is subjective? Help me and define "It's".
Going to be to read, so I will check the response tomorrow.

I am not disagreeing with you. I just mean ones definition of love. You know if you could love a plant or not. Personally, I couldn't love a plant. But, some I think would say they love different "things" and I can as well, but not a plant. It was just an example.

I used to love playing sports. I really did love it. But, it is not the same kind of love I have for my kids. The love I have for my kids is not the same as the love I feel for my other family members. There is different kinds of love in my opinion, which is what I had stated in my original post.

So, that is what I meant by it's subjective. I am fine with it being called just very fond of playing sports. Or, at least very, very, VERY fond lol

I think the love for your kid(s) would be the strongest possible love. I know it is for me. You don't realize it is on a totally different level until you have them. I had never felt that before. I wonder if Grandchildren is on the same level. I haven't experienced that yet, so I don't know, but I would think probably. Of course, I am sure there are some that don't feel that way about their kids, but they probably have other very serious problems if they do not.

Why? I'm not the one who started an argument over how someone else would choose to live their life and then proceed to call that someone a childish R-word🫤

Just the whole thing. The username game and a bit of an argumentative demeanor. There is a fine line between a discussion and an attitude. I have seen it play out way too many times.

But, hey, what do I know? Carry on and the best of luck to you.

Yes, but arguments are not bad. That's just always been my learning style, from a very young age, I'm aware most people don't like it but I'm not mean spirited and the point is not to hurt anyone's feelings.

Maybe I'm tone deaf or something because none of my long rambles were meant to be full of tude. The short ones, yes, but I don't take myself seriously in the slightest so maybe it doesn't read quite how I mean it🤔
