Is Love a Noun or a Verb?

https://www.google.com/?client=seamonkey-a#q=love+definition

The first search result says both.  The rest go on to define Love in different ways.  For me, my personal definition?  I tend to define my world primarily with and object orientation.  It is the nature, the properties and attributes of objects that determine the actions that relate objects in a Subject/Action/Object trinity structure.  Noun/Verb/Noun.  The basis of our natural language through which we express conceptualized abstactions.

Given my way of looking at things, I would say Love is a noun.  Thinking about it, I perceive it more as a Verb first and an Noun second.  One of the few cases where the Verb dominates the status of the Noun to be either the dominant thing. (Verbs are things too, just not the driver of the meaning of the Object/Action relationship).

Maybe Love is the exception to the general rule that Objects Rule.  Appropriately it is the singular exception?

The closest I come to any higher level abstractions of reality in the direction of religion or even spiritualism is going to the edge to have a look but no further.  There are some things however to be seen from the edge that are interesting from the standpoint of how old the view of what humans have projected as "truths" beyond the edge, which I believe is entirely their own creation, not created by a higher level entity.

A product of our human projection often attributed to a higher entity is:

Love one another!

An excellent conceptual thought at the basis of relationships!

What gave birth to the subject line of this blog entry?

Strangely a "New Economics Perspective"  post by an author that often interests me with a wide range of observations from micro to macro.  This one was macro!

It is first and foremost a Verb.  A verb that rules the general dominance of Objects in the Object/Action relationship.

Analogous to the singularity of Love in its Verb form in the real world is Time.

Time is an Noun and Verb as well.

Time in the verb nature in the real world is a singular dominant driver of the Object/Action relationship like Love is in the conceptual world.

Interesting way of looking at it for me.

In the physical world the role of Time as dominant is expressed, maybe, by E = MCsquared.  Time, the speed of light is the dominant factor in the relationship between Mass and Energy.  Time as a verb drives the relationship between Mass and Energy.  Everything beyond that is a Problem Domain where Objects rules the conceptual structure of things.
