what is love?

Answer 1

These are a few answers to this question from a group of 4 to 8 years olds. I thought the answers were quite wise:

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just 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 what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."-Bobby-age 7

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."-Nikka-age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

Answer 2

I just answered a question about the difference between being IN love and just loving ppl.... and it all boils down to the HEART... there is a fine line between the 2 kinds of love, the love we have for children, grandparents, parents, etc., and the LOVE we will find with a life partner.... If ppl would only learn to listen to the inner voice we all have in our hearts it would become clear and a whole lot easier to find it.... and this world would be a better place.... the trick is knowing you are IN love and knowing that the other person is too.... and that my friend is something that only GOD can show us...... the true inner workings of someone elses heart is not written on their farheads.. but, I truely believe that if a person gets to know someone, takes their time, listens to them, watches them, that it all will become clear......... as for what it IS ??? if you are talking about the kind of IN love between 2 ppl, it is the completness each gives the other, the holding of dreams, the anchor in storms thing, and most of all TRUST !!! No trust no true love !!!!!!!! the one question you have to answer is; Do I trust this person with my dreams ?????? God bless

Answer 3

Love is a basic dimension of human experience that is variously conveyed as a sense of tender affection, an intense attraction, the foundation of intimacy and good interpersonal chemistry, willing self-sacrifice on behalf of another, and as an ineffable sense of affinity or connection to nature, other living beings, or even that which is unseen. It manifests itself in feelings, emotion, behavior, thoughts, perception and attitude. It influences, underlies and defines major patterns in interpersonal relationships and self-identification.
