It's hard to find a definition for love, it also depends on culture and so much more (the warm embraces we had - too many or none, the words we heard and ... character). Some easily say "I love you" while others will never say these words, but love is shown or the acts we associate with love.
Is a mother's love endless? I doubt it, not for me. The more one thinks, the harder it is to get it. I believe we think too much and should act more.
I am one of those people who will not easily say "I love you" but I also don't say "I hate you". To me love is reserved to a very small group, the same for true friends. I do say it to the one close to me, especially if I feel it's important not to forget or .. regret.

If it comes to nominations.. by far the good writers aren't nominated (also hard to find) it would be good to put them in the spotlights, although personally I don't care if that wouldn't be the case with me.

We try to comment and interact but it's hard since it's in average a small group willing to and they have a private life as well and no matter what people believe it's time-consuming, great to do, but time-consuming. That deserves to be rewarded (and nominated as well).
