Love Definition

Since a very long time ago, people have searched for the meaning of love.  But even the great philosophers, with their profound definitions, could not fully touch its true essence. In a survey of 4-8 year olds, kids share their views on love.  But what do little kids know about love?

Read on and be surprised that despite their young and innocent minds, kids already have a simple but deep grasp of that four-letter word.

“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.”

“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.”

“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and then he wears it every day.”

“You can break love, but it won’t die.”

“Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsome then Robert Redbird.”

“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.”

“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.”

LOVE is more than a four letter word it packs more power than any we’ve heard.

LOVE can turn a frown into a smile make our day more worthwhile.

LOVE never fails, love never tires makes more heat than many fires.

LOVE is a dream, a sweet fantasy but it is also life and reality.

LOVE is a strange mysterious force but one we want to keep of course.

LOVE we don’t want to live without when it’s absent, we will pout.

LOVE can go and new love return better than before you will learn.

LOVE that is perfect and is right may come along any day or night.

Yes LOVE is more than a four letter word it’s the most wonderful word you have heard.

“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smile to each other.”

“Love is when someone hurts you.  And you get so mad but you don’t yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings.”

But, in fact Love is an elemental energy continually seeking refinement. In its raw form it is kaam काम - lust; with the meeting of minds it becomes prem प्रेम - love; with the merger of souls it becomes bhakti भक्ति - devotion. The first is a momentary union of bodies; in the second the union is poetic, deeper, but still gross; in the third, both dissolve, only the universal throbs.
