Is my love relevant?
A 'form' of the same
question, that appeals most to logical mind, and yet belongs to the
emotional mind!
The mind that asks such a
question, is not even ready to compromise, to allow
variations/types/kinds/likes/etc, in the love... !!! (It could have
been about 'affection' that feels more comfortable, with all others,
where 'love', when 'typed'(typecast), looks a bit inappropriate!...
The interchangeability of 'affection' with 'love' was carefully
omitted by the questioner!)
Instead, the question
attempts to have grades of the very same love, looking at highest
levels of love... !
That was what appealed to
me, about the mind that asked this question! (It is the purity of
love that affords us to distance ourselves from any negative emotions
that might dilute the depth of love, the quality of love, the deep
experience of love... So, the query was to find the touchstone that
helps us to separate the forms of love that merely look like it, but
are not it!!)
Yes, some example is
needed to disallow any ambiguity about the query... They why look
at embarrassment? Maybe shyness, a graceful response of reverential
love could be allowed, but when it is about a question, even fear has
to be set aside, with courage!
Let us see, if the answer
could also 'look' relevant! (I suppose, it is the manifestation and
its form that goes to create the doubts about the relevancy of it,
where as, love as a quality of the very 'being' becomes relevant
wherever it manifests, by sheer reason of its purity itself!!!)
Yours relevantly,

Often we say I love
my mom, and I love my Gf. Does the use of word Love is relevant for
both mom and Gf?
Love with Mom is
attachment/respect and love with Gf is infatuation/lust. How we can
use the word love in both the cases. Are we right?
My answer:
Agreed...
We should not use the word 'love' indiscriminately...
But do we have the courage to tell the Gf, 'look, it is mere lust towards you, and not the (respect)love that I have for my mom'!... We are lust-full even towards the word 'love' and therefore we do not mind disrespecting the word 'love', and we render it 'lust-filled' too! When dust and lust replaces the sanctity of love, true love becomes elusive... And then, the loving mom is sent to home-for-aged! Love becomes a relic!
...
We have to evolve, not the attributes of the word alone for us... to be able to 'feel' it...
That baby-kid, yet to learn alphabets, is full of love (I find it so difficult to look elsewhere, after my eyes meet that innocent face of the baby!)... But yes, that kid is not so self-aware as we adults.
..
Very valid and live question!
