Holidays


Often defined and rarely understood
By Jessica Sanders

Love is confusing.

Both a noun and a verb, the English word “love” can describe feelings for a significant other, devotion to a friend or affection toward a pet.

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, it becomes difficult to escape this mysterious human emotion.
“I think people mistake feelings for love,” said Kimberly Hopper, a freshman speech communication major. “I don’t think love is about feelings — it’s a commitment. If a relationship is built on only feelings of love, then it’s not love at all.”

To make matters worse, love is also complicated as a part of speech.

When Greek was being translated into English, all the Greek versions of the word became “love” because the English language doesn’t have verbs for words such as friendship. People substitute “love” because it is versatile as both a noun and a verb, said Daryl Schmidt, chairman of the religion department.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)
