"Love" is probably one of the most overused words in the English language. For instance, we use the word "love" to describe our favorite items, while at the same time we use it to describe our family members. Ironically, we teach our children not to use the word "hate" being that is such a strong and meaningful word, but we never express that they shouldn't overuse to word "love" as well. Since we are constantly using the word "love" it has caused it to lose all of it's meaning. Daily Toreador recently wrote "'Love' more than just an overused word", an article that persuades their readers to start using the word in the right time and place, not the wrong. The evident audience is not a single person, but the majority of people considering most people use the word on a daily basis. Author Jaira Keys is able to display the major effect of the overused word causing it quickly lose its value. Most do not understand what the simple four letter word means and the power that it holds. Key inquires "Is this word in fact just a word? Or is this word a symbol for something bigger" and adds "I have centered my whole life around this word". Frankly, Key successfully demonstrates the essential change that needs to be taken place in society with the word love. Ultimately, Love is what it is and will always be. Love cant be bought, or made, and especially changed. "I love you" are valuable words that should be used sparingly not lightly.
