Should I delete the word love from my vocabulary?

Question

I hear the word love loses it's meaning when it is so overused for every feeling of joy toward anyone or anything. That word gets related to sex so often that it just becomes void of power. Maybe I should replace that word with "care" from now on. That way no one will get that word mixed up thinking I'm forgetting all about the compassion at the expense of the romance. There won't be that feeling that I am forgetting the people who care about me at the expense of someone I merely feel sexually attracted to so it won't be taken for granted that I really care for others as opposed to that being just a junk word like fine, okay, cool, that is part of everyday language to express lack of sadness or discomfort.

Jonathan, I think I love you!  I think that there are so many other words to express lust, infatuation and genuine concern for another person, but love should be reserved for something other than "the cute guy/girl that sits behind me in class". 

Most people do not know the true meaning of love.  Maybe I don't either, but I think I do.  Love IS powerful and shouldn't be used in a relationship to get someone in bed or something like that.

Read some of the posts in relationships category and you will see that these 12 year old swear they are in love and can not live without them.  Tomorrow they will post about their new love.

Yes, LOVE is overused.  For instance, I LOVE cake.  I also LOVE my new car.  But I would never eradicate the word from my vocabulary, because I LOVE my children and want to tell them just that, every day!

Hey, you know what?  I LOVE you, too!  ;)
