Frustration in life is sometimes not due to ordinary distress

It can be malleable to the point of irritation.
Catching up with friends and relatives on occasion can be stressful.
As much as we care about or love these people there are times when it’s best not to know what they are doing or not doing.

Cryptic you say; I meant it to sound that way.
How often do we tell someone that we love them and mean it?
Is it just a reaction to making nice with a person who expects that from us?
What does the word really mean?

Merriam Webster's definition:
Main Entry: 1love
Function: noun
Pronunciation: 'l&v
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English lufu; akin to Old High German luba love, Old English leof dear, Latin lubere, libere to please
1 a (1): strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties

Actually, there is much more, but you get the idea, and some of the additional definitions are slightly embarrassing and made me blush. 

And I am not trying too hard for me to sound stupid, but I thought 'lufu', was a scrubbing sponge from nature to use to exfoliate, now I am told it's from the Old English for love? Who would of thunk it?
I guess smooth skin from a loofah is a loving act done to ones self.


So when we use it so lavishly on so many people do we fully understand the connotations and feelings it promotes in the person or persons we bestow the obligation of such a significant exclamation?
The times we live in call for us becoming more frugal, and so I am now proclaiming the using unconditionally of such a powerful word should not be utilized unless absolutely necessary! So from now on investigations into how, what and why it will be used and under what circumstances and a team of specialist will be chosen to utilize severe scrutiny in this study must be considered prior to our allowance of such a potent usage.
And I also declare that we will immediately consider all peoples of this nation’s opinion on this extremely important topic by taking a vote on all these decisions, but since most of this nation is not really capable to come to such an important decisive conclusion we will appoint persons which we have predetermined to be better suited for an assessment of this important judgment from each one of these United States and the amount of persons involved will be chosen by me, since I brought this whole concept to this point, by my greed of needing the word to be used freely and without much thought or care.
Carelessly spreading the fallout of what that may create in these delicate times of too many possessions that had always been tangible in nature, and where the intangible has not been noted to be of much worth financially.

It’s all I got these days!
Take it or you may have nothing too.

Good night to all and to all get silly!
