Why is it so hard to articulate love yet so easy to express disappointment? — Kaui Hart Hemmings, The Descendants

Not always hard to articulate love, just look at the poetry, songs, music, art, literature inspired by it.

@InOtterWords That is true among artistes. Not so true at ground level between normal people.
@SW-User on ground level too, people show and demonstrate their love in different ways. Have you ever heard of a book called The Five Love Languages?

@InOtterWords No I've not read it. I just think it's easier to express the negative than the positive.
And even here, look around and see. More of the content is with the lack of content with the people in their lives than of appreciation.
@SW-User true, more people are happy to criticise but less likely to praise.
But when in love, I've never had a problem articulating it
