Kumite988 Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN? A group 4 to 8 year-olds were asked "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 any more. 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 when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your chips without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy -age 6 "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 "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." 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 "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 Got it from another forum, LOL i thought it was funny
Valithor Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Does anyone know what Love is really about? Keep Smiling!
GrrrArg Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Yes, but their clearly not going to tell the rest of us.
monkeygirl Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Pretty cute. I've had some pretty deep discussions on another forum about love and what it means. So of course, the heartbroken people just yell at us hopeless romantics every time. What I find to be rather interesting: the opposite of love is NOT hate...the opposite of love is selfishness. Therefore, a large part of love is selfLESSness. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Drunken Monkey Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 love is knowing that her smile is yours post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Kumite988 Posted August 10, 2003 Author Posted August 10, 2003 love is knowing that her smile is yours I dont quite understand what you mean by that.... can you explain?
Drunken Monkey Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 ahhh, you will my child, you will... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Fenris-wolf Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Very sweet. I second the Wow! for the kid who said you can hear it if you stop and listen. This could be a very interesting conversation if I wasn't alone in here... Oh well, I shall talk to an empty room. I believe in love, but only in that I cannot find a way to explain what I believe it to be. The stubbornly cynical and relistic part of me cannot shut out that it is purely hormones, chemical impulses we cannot begin to understand. But it is that lack of understanding which allows me to be open minded. I am pretty staunchly athiest, but I believe there may be something more, and if there is... Who knows? I have only been in one serious relationship. It was not healthy in the end, as I was pretty depressed at the time and became quite emotionally dependent on him. But I did love him. And still do, in a plutonic way. I cannot block out how good it feels to be "in love". I am... infatuated... with somebody right now. Something in my head persistantly whispers of love but I will not allow it. Nonetheless, I cannot deny the happiness that fills me when I think of him. So I guess I didn't really have a point. Darn, I need somebody to bounce ideas off! Well, I suppose if I was to sum up how I feel, I believe in love in every sense but "true love". "Soulmates"?? Eugh. False hope. But I believe that if you take "love" a day at a time... What does it matter the meaning of words? If their smile can fill you with happiness, if hearing their voice makes everything alright again, if looking into their eyes makes your breath catch... Well who cares if love is real?
