What Does Love Mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8 "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4 "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5 "Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4 "Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7 "Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8 "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen," Bobby - age 7 (Wow!) "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 "There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them." Jenny - age 8 "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day. Noelle - age 7 "Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6 "During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore," Cindy - age 8 "My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6 "Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5 "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7 "Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4 "I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4 "When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7 The one Bobby made is really deep and almost slipped pass me. "You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget," Jessica - age 8 |

I think this topic would be more appropriate in 'relations.'
Anyways, I don't think there really is a set definition for 'love.' Just depends on the person and however you want to describe it.... but that's just my opinion.

The harder you press it, the more it hurts. |

hehe.. that list is like.. something compiled by someone obviously really bored.. but it's cute in a way.. like.. adults these days won't think of love that way.. (for the most part anyway..) and like, there aren't that many people who look at love in that innocent way anymore..
man.. it's nice to be a kid.. everything's simple... |

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4 wow... so true... "out of the mouths of babes". haha. love is a choice; a committment. don't say it unless you're choosing it, and never stop choosing to love. |

QUOTE(mystical @ Feb 29 2004, 11:41 PM) "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5 LoL I sort of apply to that. Every morning, even though my boyfriend doesn't put on cologne that much, I always take wifs of him. He has the smell of a fresh, clean baby mixed with a light coat of baby powder =) And everyday I always hug him and inhale his wonderful smell. =) I already know what he'd smell like everyday before I go to smell him, but each time, it seems slightly different, but his baby powder smell still smells so wonderful  ANd he doesn't really put anything on him! His room smells like a baby-powdered baby =)I love it. I love him. Edit. I showed him this thread on aim. Tony: I don't smell like that >_</ Christina: Yes you DO! |

 I just don't think little kids don't really know what's going on... they're so innocent and unaware of tragedies and how messed up society is... i still love them... .......

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen,"
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!) "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 wow .. i was held aback by these two children.. at such a young age and to have a broader knowledge of the true meaning of what love is really leaves me utterly impressed .. it's a shame that people so much older, that one would think to have more experience and knowledge, knows LESS. i think that everyone should learn to listen to what younger children have to say because sometimes their eyes see a lot more clearly .. past the biases.. past the influences .. their beliefs and feelings are truly PURE .. |
