In an age where too much emphasis is on --- falling in love, romance, chemistry, lust, fatal attractions, physical appeal, hormonal imbalances...an important word has slowly but surely slipped out of the back door --- and that word is LIKE.
I thought of that word today ---like, liking, looking a-like, thinking like-wise...why has the verb TO LIKE disappeared from our vocabulary, our perception, our cognition of the world around us ?
Like has disappeared to be replaced with "love" and its opposite" hate ", and with a categorical Yes and its opposite a categorical No...
Like -- on the other hand says -- it feels right, it resonates, why not, it's possible, I get good vibes, I'll take it a step further, it's worth knowing....Like is open to -- like-wise, a-like...
It may not feel hot, or may not feel cold...it may feel just warm...warm enough to start a new fire...
