Time and time again, people use words like 'hate' without realizing the power behind the word.
"I hate having to tie my shoes."
The term is used so loosly that it greatly perturbs me! 'Hate' is a powerful word.
We should never use it when speaking of our shoes.
We should never use it when speaking of our parents.
We should never use it when speaking of our enemies.
We should never use it when speaking of anything.
Hate is bad.

I do find it interesting, though, that 'love' is misused and misunderstood in a similar way. The meaning of it has been dilluted.
"I love you!", the man said to his grilfriend after their first date.
I do not deny the fact that a man can love a woman (or vice versa) after their first date, but I think people should think about what 'love' really is before they say it.
"To make love" is the most defacing phrase to the word love. It changes the meaning of love to sex.
Love is not sex!
Both 'hate' and 'love' should be redefined in everyone's heads and dictionaries. People's understandings and uses of these words need to be changed.

(That was the shortened version. I cannot express the full entirety of it.)
Feel free to post your thoughts, oppinions, etc. I'm curious as to what you have to say.

Who in the hell put Make love in the dictionary? That is not love it is a physical action. Making love... You can have sex or make babies but you can't make "love". Ok so maybe it should be in the dictionary but it shouldn't be under love it has nothing to do with love. Lust maybe but love no.
