A group of professional people posed this question to 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......
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
----Karl----age5
"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----age8

OUt of the mouths of babes,we could all learn a bit
from these fresh innocent little ones. love does not
have to be as darned complex as we modern adults
make it out to be.. love is like a little old man and
a little old woman who are still friends even after
they know each other so well, tommy said it all, so simply.
lol.

I think children are actually much more observant and objective than most people expect. As children, their minds are more eager to explore everything, as opposed to an adult, who tends to develop a sort of ego that ignores things which they believe to be insignificant and easily understood. In addition, the children are less influenced by selfish reasons such as seeming intelligent or seeming respectable, they answer questions more honestly I think. But clearly these responses are extremely influenced by what they see from their parents, maybe this is why the world takes so long to change...we only make minor adjustments per generation. Teach the children well and let them lead the way :)

Hey,
This is really AWESOME, and belive me i don't have words for it. However i will add one thing to it that is "Without Love Life is Nothing & Nothing can be done without Love".
Bye

Very adorable! I love those quotes.
Love is when soemone lets you take a sip first.
I like that one most of all.
Because it's true.
When someone thinks of your comfort
or needs before their own, then that is
really love.
Be well and best of luck
finding the one true person
that can make your heart leap
for joy.
Have a blessed day.

love....its something which cant be expressed in words its like god its like breeze its like a good fragrance...etc ...etc,all these kind of things gives you something(good feelings)which only can be experienced they dont take anything from you so in my opinion love is not something you give and in return you take something.love is a love is a love is a love....nothing else :)

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast,it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. "God is Love" and I want to let you know that God loves you! Have a nice day!!!
