Description :
Love... We seek it, we pursue it, we make it and undo it, we enjoy it, we suffer for it. We sing it, write it, paint it, play it and pretend it... We die for it, or we kill. But what does this word cover? We love God (sometimes), our homeland (rarely), our parents, our children. We love to laugh and sing, we love sports, movies, and even chocolate or good wine. We love our dreams, we love to love. We love, also and above all, this half of orange that we have been told over and over again that it exists, that it is there, somewhere, waiting for us, and that it will meet all our desires, all our needs. ? The same term to designate so many things: possession, enjoyment, domination, jealousy, voluptuousness, tenderness, sacrifice...
