A group of professional people posted 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 as followings:
“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.” - age 8
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.” - 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.” - age 5
“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.” - age 6
“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.” - age 4
I came across this wonderful short film about communication. Created by Publicis Mojo and RadicalMedia. This is how a bachelor spends time in office and but when he meets a lady… then…
Have you ever been in love? Or are you in love? Then you are the luckiest person at this planet (if it is true love!). Does not matter you get him/her into your life or not! At least the unique feeling of love you have got. Which is a blessing and a gift of nature by itself. Here are nine indications to find out that you are in love.
Infatuation is instant desire - one set of glands calling to another.
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine to closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. You have so many wonderful little films in your head that you keep replaying. But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says, “We must get married right away. I can’t risk losing him.”
Love says, “Be patient. Don’t panic. Plan your future with confidence.”
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are together you hope it will end in intimacy.
Love is not based on sex. It is the maturation of friendship that makes sex so much sweeter. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When he’s away, you wonder if he is cheating. Sometimes you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. He feels your trust, and it makes him even more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you will regret, but love never steers you in the wrong direction.
Love is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.
