Is there any particular hate against 'live, laugh, love' that I am missing, besides the phrase just being a bit cheesy?

It's plastered all over painted blocks of wood for $40 at mildly up-scale places (or places trying to appear up scale), along with other "gems" of wisdom.

It's not so much the cornyness, but the posh posturing and sheer stupidity of having vapid expressions on expensive blocks of wood.

vapid expressions

that's it for me. okay, you want to decorate your house, great. but "live laugh love" is really the best you can find?

It's bumper stickers for your house, but pretending to be fancy.

Vapid, banal expressions have some power. Whatever makes us go through life a little more positively is an asset in my book
