Why can't a word mean just one thing

Hello readers!

So.. this confused teen took some time out from his busy schedule (football +computers + PCM + novels. See, that busy!) to reach out to you guys.
A random weird thought crossed in my mind. Why can't a simple English word mean a simple thing?
I mean , for instance take this word, which is by far, most confusing word in my dictionary :
                                                 "LOVE"

Okay, lemme make this clear that m no anti love nor a loner (ask who know me... you won't be disappointed ;) )
But still. even wikipedia says "love" is a word which has variety of meanings ranging from impersonal affection to strong attractions.

I want to ask why we just don't assign one word wit one universal meaning (and save the pain of the overthinking which we go through when our crush says love u :P)

As if this is not confusing enough, this splendid word achieves even weirder levels once it is uttered by a female (No offense, but saying by personal experience) You just can't judge whether they are saying it out of depth of their heart or just portraying a customary sister thingy affection.
trust me, that confusion drives any single person mad xD

Still, why isn't their any absolute meaning for these stuff?
Why are emotions always hard to express. Sometimes too hard that we just cannot express them by using any set of 26 alphabets and we have to use hugs or slaps?

Why emotions have to be like chemistry (which has more exceptions than generic patterns in ANY DAMN LAW!)

Yeah. It seems more like a question than a normal inspirational blog but still, I wish someone could answer this.
Why our mind just can't think straight and decide upon something and express the feelings in clear words without any undertones? Why it has to be that tough!?

  1. It is because how the forces of nature work. Nothing is meant to be explained in one word. For every question a human seeks answer for, has a hidden meaning, as well as a question for it. A person has many thoughts, but some are from your mind and some made through external factors("Inception" thingy). Not all are expressable. Some are best kept to yourself; others need to be discussed. Your current thought might be hiding a motive, or may be driven by the nature of human beings.

  2. Also, a single word meaning just one thing would make the world seem much simpler, opposite to what we bring in our lives (PCM perhaps?). Having multiple meanings in different scenarios can bring huge differences in understanding, but they also bring out how different everyone analyses and reacts to the surroundings. It is almost always lucky to understand the same thing in the same way as the person standing next to you, but my child, that is how the world has been moving from the beginning.

  3. It sounds very similar to that 'achha' monologue by Aamir Khan in PK😁. It is human tendency to complicate things. And tell me would you like to listen 'those magical words' if uttered plaintively to you?
    Besides I completely agree with the above comment. You better read it twice because I would have said the same.

    P.S- I can give some personal examples as well if you wish (or need badly😂). Ping me on my chat box for the worst advice you'll ever get😜
