Some love? Much of Love?

French vs. English
Aimer=like, love ; beaucoup=a lot of; bien=good

Today I learned a verb in French class that is “aimer”, it means “like” or “love”, and it can be used at describing our hobby, friendship, and romance. But, the most interesting is when we describe we appreciate someone, we use “aimer bien”; we have a good friendship with someone, we use “aimer beaucoup”, and we love someone, we should just use “aimer”! It’s so interesting because we think “love” must be a lot of love connected with, why do we just use one word?
And what is love?
Maybe love is simple, it doesn’t need anything, so we don’t have to add “much of” or “good” it’s pure, no purpose, no reasons, no rules just love, and it doesn’t need too much, we should leave a little space to keep ourselves. And we can’t understand it except the lovers.



And I like the French conception of love........"Love, it’s unnecessary to talk about, but it’s natural for human beings just like breath, we can’t live without it!"
