At times, words rise to become symbols of something that only exists in the mind of the individual. Terms such as “love” “honor”, “country”, for example, can be quoted to give life to erudite disquisitions. Even when you just say “I love you” to a dear one, are you aware of the implications that such sentence has (or should have)? Do you realize that, by saying it, you take on certain responsibilities that you should feel obliged to fulfill now and forever? Therefore, ask yourself what you truly mean when you tell someone that you care for them, when you mention words such as “honesty”, “loyalty”, “faithfulness”, “duty” etc. If you catch yourself using one of these terms, stop for a second and make a quick exam of the significance of what you are saying. And, most of all, do you really mean it?
