There are two types of love.
One that makes you enjoy the fact that you’re in love. It’s the one everyone knows about, the one that you look forward to.
The other is much heavier. It makes you feel sad that you love. It’s one of responsibility. A love that makes you go out of your way to care for someone. One that makes your life difficult but only because you want theirs to be easier.
In English we don’t have too many ways of expressing this dichotomy, though we find ways around it. Does this affect the way we think, as proposed by Sapir and Whorf?
Perhaps.
