I have oft lamented that we have such a meagre vocabulary for the biggest word in the universe.<br /><br />I liked your opening sentence... asking if we've ever done a word study on love and heart as a way to expand our writing. I think I'll take you up on your challenge.<br /><br />Thanks Connie!<br /><br /> Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-62599106595758388702014-02-12T11:54:18.462-07:002014-02-12T11:54:18.462-07:00Thanks for all your great comments and fun to see ...Thanks for all your great comments and fun to see other people's connections with Thai people.

The Thai have hundreds of words describing the qualities of love. Those in our north who have multiple words to describe the qualities of snow, something critical to their culture.<br /><br />Here in the west, our expressive words seem to describe things, purchases, acquisitions, and self. <br /><br />Kinda shows me where we put our priorities. Food for thought, Connie.

They were part of an immigration group known as "the boat people." They were bright and diligent students who wanted very much to learn English, so they could get jobs. Some of them stayed in the community for several decades. Lovely people.

I taught a Thai girl and this helps me understand her a little better. And you're right about the world getting smaller - it's good to know how other cultures think because we are interacting with them more on a daily basis.

To find all these different emotions for the same word, "love", pushes us further into understanding people.<br />Blessings,<br />Janis www.janiscox.comJanis Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863083811890899986noreply@blogger.com
