Book: Simple words

Love is feelings of attraction to the object, to the beloved. But this attraction is not unambiguous, clearly defined emotion. Due to the large number of personal characteristics, differences in the objects of love and the ambiguity of the term there are many types of relationships, which people call love.
In this respect there is a Jewish folk proverb, which shows how vague the meaning of "love", and shows what problems often arise in the use of phrases like "I love you". One day the fisherman caught a huge pike. Taking the fish out of the water and seeing that she was very large, he exclaimed: "Well, I'll take her pan - he loves pike!" Poor fish thought to himself, "I still Have hope." A fisherman brought a fish in a stately home, and the soldier asked him, "What have you got there?" "Pike," he replied. "Well, - said Gayduk, pan loves them." Fish thought that things are not so bad. The fisherman went into the house, and although the fish is barely breathing, she did not abandon hope: it pan loves pike. Brought it into the kitchen and all the cooks were talking about how strong the love of pan to the pike. When the fish came on the table, he entered the pan and began to give instructions: "Cut off the tail, head and have her way". On its last legs fish in despair, exclaimed: "Why did you lie? You do not like fish, you love yourself!"
Poor fish has the problem of linguistic nature: it confused the two different meanings of one word. Hence the question: are these values really so different from each other? And do people not make the same mistake when they think and say about love? Is the "love fish" and is Love with a capital letter. That's clearly not the same. Not only do they have different emotional strength charge - on their own it's different types of emotions.

Love begins when the interest of "outgrowing" the stage of an objective assessment and turns into a personal tendency, and the object is no longer simply a thing or person, estimated by themselves, but the object of affection.

The philosophers of antiquity asserted that the presence of both positive and negative qualities due to the fact that he separated himself from nature, from natural instincts, receiving in return the right to choose both right and wrong.

Since the appearance on earth man has constantly developed its capabilities, and expanding them. Our desires can sometimes be rather absurd and stupid, but in any case, they cause us to act, to try to implement their ideas, which often, regardless of the original intentions, leads to accidental discoveries. We managed to invent and destroy many things and we are still obsessed with the constant desire to come up with something new.
Mind made man a creature that combines the abilities of all animals. We are able to build and destroy, kill and return to life. All of these abilities are part of our charm, versatile nature.

People are fundamentally different from all of the living world.
The main difference is that man has freedom of choice. While other representatives of nature are bound by strict frameworks of instincts and reflexes, we are not limited given to us from birth with rules.

Ever since people began to neglect the traditional ways of communication, piles of technical terms and slang have replaced the simple, clear words. It is not replacing one word with another, more beautiful. Many words have synonyms, similar meaning, the difference between which is visible only to an experienced linguist. But jargon is a substitute for not only the word itself, but also its inner meaning, which ultimately affects the way of thinking. As a result, people began to use a flimsy, bulky design is natural and straightforward, complex terms instead of simple words, and now they are not able to adequately Express what accumulated in the shower.

Lately in America, maybe in Europe, language is overloaded with terms from the areas of psychology, replacing the usual words. People no longer feel love for each other - between them "having relations". They do not hate, and "experiencing negative emotions". They have no psychological problems, and "systems" that are named, sometimes quite funny.

If life is a lottery, a true friend - a huge prize.
