LOVE well said, this is a point but meaning of love have never changed. Of course the way we understand it might be questioned by others. LOving some one is really great. Its matter of winning one's respect, trust and thus development of mutual understanding to carry on the life of each other. LOve must need  two or more so its a social as well as personal. so the way we speak or hesitant about love and using the word openly depends upon our state of mind , society and culture. western may say we are wrong as we say we are rich in culture and showing ignorance to each important aspect related to sex , gender, etc. I appreciate the western part of love which is equally important in east too. we may speak or not bu every body aroung us understand dat the person i love most i respect most and have great trust
