A feeling to resistance which the Japanese to "the word Love" has.
Cultural difference:
The Japanese do not use the phrase "I love you" lightly.
Why is that?
The Japanese is very sheepish.
The Japanese generally don't express their love openly.
Sometimes people say it, but not a lot.
Lots of people just say "好き(suki)" or "大好き(daisukisuki)" which mean really like, close to love.
"What are that love emotion of you?"
If the Japanese is questioned like this,
They will answer, "That's 愛情(aijou)/情(jou)".
Word "jyou/aijyou" is "愛(ai)[=Love}" in a word.
But, the Japanese doesn't like word "愛(ai)".

If you forget what you've experienced, it means that you never experienced it.
Life will be rich if we could be able to remember all those emotions,feelings and thoughts and able to extract them whenever we want.
