Why not be precise when addressing another human

Define freedom. Precisely.

Define love. Precisely.

What's your point? You don't like the way people use words? Not my problem. This isn't a science thread- as the mdoerator to this thread has already pointed out. It's religion and general discussion. So what if a usage is poetic? So what? People DO actuallly talk like that. I'm sorry if this bothers you.

Have a nice day.

You chose two words that have been muddled over the years by imprecise and/or casual use. They often mean much different things to the speaker and the listener - as the listener's (or believer's) emotional understanding begs upon the speaker's misuse. I don't like that, not that I have any cure for the offense, save only engage with people who use accurate and honest language.

Ultimately all words are defined in a circular reference, and only induce meaning in another through experience, but:

Freedom: not constrained by restraints on action, thought, or behavior.

Love: an individual's feeling of unbridled passion for close affectionate association with a person, idea, or thing. (or zip in tennis).
