:lemme tell u the complete quote
"Oh lord! teach everybody you like that "LOVE" is better than "LIFE" and Let taste everybody you like more, that "LIKE" is better than "LOVE
!khodaya be har ke dust midariash biamuz ke eshgh az zendegi kardan behtar ast va be har ke dust tar midariash becheshan ke dust dashtan bartar ast az eshgh
as i heard there's kinda egocentricity in LOVE that never exists in LIKE
(also consider that LOVE can change into HATE in a moment whereas LIKE takes long time to change into hate (ofcourse if it is supposed to change, it usually turns into DISLIKE not into HATE
some of my friends that are in love with Dr shariati!! and have read all of his books say that he wanna talk about the LOVE that we all know not anything special
so i think u r wrong
!and as a conclusion you can call it love like adore fondness dote .... but the only thing important is that we love/like/adore ..... each other
