A while ago I asked myself this question: What means love? People use this word very easily these days. But what exactly does it mean? My question was not meant to be a philosophical one. I was not looking for a definition or a description of love. I was trying to find what are those concrete, real things or steps you follow when you are saying you love somebody. Steps without which you basically cannot say you have love for that person. On one hand I tried not to be philosophical and vague. On the other hand I needed to be simple and general enough to cover any situation, if possible. So, I ended up with this seven steps of love. I know. Some of you will make fun of number seven.
