Dear Family,

In an effort to make this blog more than a newspaper (only reports and all), I shall place in a few issues that I've read about.

Today's issue:

Love : Words or Actions?

I've read this book called 'The Five Languages of Love' by Gary Chapman. (http://www.fivelovelanguages.com/learn.html)
Among these five languages, 1.) Words of Affirmation, 2.) Quality Time, 3.)Receiving Gifts, 4,) Acts of Service and 5.) Physical Touch, we can see a dichotomy (a seperation into two parts).

First Part: Words

Words of Affirmation such as 'I love you darling', compliments such as 'You are so beautiful' or 'The pasta you cooked was the most wonderful pasta I ever tasted!' serve to show your love verbally.

Second Part: Actions

The rest of the languages, I place them under the second group as they are actions. Physical Touch, even though most girls may think its out of horniness =P, does feature as a conduit through which love is transferred from one party to another and vice versa. Spending time together, searching for gifts, helping the other person do his/her laundry, sweep his/her floor, feed his/her pets, are all actions of love.

The question to you all is this : Which part is more important? Which part do you belong to? =) Personally, I favour Actions as Words are cheap. Like they say 'Easier said than done', or 'Kong kou shuo bai hua', words are easily said, but it is through actions that a person proves his/her love to the other. =)

Lots of love,

Ave ^^,
