Sorry do you mean the word "love" has no useful meaning anymore or no use anymore?
Either way I don’t believe that’s the case however I think it’s perhaps an overused word; carelessly and naively employed. Perhaps even a case of mistaken identity as regards to what to term actual feelings and so a feeling not really qualifying as “love” might have been misinterpreted as love thus love is blamed when it may have possibly been an imitation in its stead.

Sapphiredamsel: i av got my observations&reasons

I would like to hear some of your observation and reasons...

On this here forum, love is used wrongly. Folks here dunno what it is. Loving Niggas they only chat with online. Loving some random chic they spot from a distance. Funny people on here man

It takes maturity to understand what love is, definitely not what one experiences during teenage years, I mean with raging hormones and all, more of infatuation in his case.

Love is all-encompassing, most importantly seeing someone for who they are, weaknesses, failings and all, yet still wanting to be with them.

You gave your brother's example and you were sure about it but you did not express the same level of certainty in the other example cos for all you and I know, the "boyfriend" might be lying

The love I am talking about is something many of you will never experience nor wouldn't know if it stuck to your arse. It is pure and wholesome.
