Excellent and true. It is a failing of the English language that you can ‘love’ a sandwich, ‘love’ your family, and make ‘love’ all using the same word.

In Greek you at least have eros, philia and agape.

True, and an interesting observation on language.

It’s more of the practical destruction of the Left’s moral nihlism:

They destroy friendships by sexualizing them.

They destroy sex by disconnecting it from emotional intimacy.

They destroy emotional intimacy by devaluing sex and, by promiscuity of all sorts, stripping sex of its power to strengthen rather than weaken emotional bonds.
