I think that love has become obselete in this community because, If you love someone and they get relesed you won’t feel hurt. I think before the community had Samenes, people were alowwed to show affection to one another, but the comunity elders changed and so did the rules.

I think love is forbiden and meaningless in this community because,when Jonas asked his parrents,”Do you love me?” His father replied saying he should use a word like enjoy as in,” Do you enjoy me?” or “do you take pride in my accomplishments?”.Also because his mother mentioned that using a word like “Love” was in inapropriate in the community. I think that when the people hear the word,”Love” I think they think of showing affection or having emotions toward someone else. I think the community dosen’t want this because,the “stirring” take emotions away from people so if they have “Love” it just has no effect for the pill.
