How are you loving? How are you relating?


I was reading a book yesterday called "The Myth of Tomorrow" by Gary Buffone... he states that love is an action, that love is a verb. To demonstrate love.

He argues that obligatory love without demonstration is not love - for example, loving a family member just because they are family, yet never actually going to visit or demonstrate that love - to act out that love.


It's interesting to note that to be in love suggests it is experiential. It is dictated by time. It's in the moment. A process of (being in love).

So one can fall out of being in love with someone quite easily.


However love as a noun is putting a label on something, saying you love someone or something suggests that attachment. It sounds static and infinite. There are contradictions to this for eg:

One may say they love a song, then get sick of it because of overexposure or an unpleasant anchoring experience.

Likewise, one may love someone, until it becomes obligatory - because you HAVE to or should love due to marriage or because of your genetic connection with that person.


Denominalise everything!
Turn the noun into the verb!
