The Story of Chinese Character : 愛

愛 is composed of 受(the picture of one hand handing over something to another hand)and 心(heart) while the heart stays between two hands. 愛 depicts someone giving his heart to another one, such behavior means love. Now in simplified Chinese, love is written as 爱, which has no 心(heart) between two lover's hands. Without heart, can we still call it love?
