Love, love, love. Is there a more popular word? From tshirts to stickers, to songs, to stories and media of all kinds, it seems we are awash in it. Yet, what do we actually mean when we use the term?
In specifics, the definition seems to morph from one situation to the next almost beyond recognition leaving only the vaguest of through lines to discern. At the same time, we are raised in a culture that values and praises almost nothing more highly.
What then are the effects of this simultaneous ambiguity and importance? More importantly, how do those who struggle with the concept adapt to a culture that sees the shortcoming as a fundamental flaw?
In this episode we explore a subject too readily taken for granted, and discover the surprisingly insidious ways in which our own failures to express the realities of nuance might cause much of the suffering we now experience as a community.
