Perhaps, you do not believe that the children in the age between 4 and 8 years old will bring the great unique and surprising answers to the adults who ask them about the meaning of love. Here are several answers you will see as the unpredictable ones.
A sweet girl namely Lily (6 years old) describes love as the great will to help others, especially our beloved ones. She says about it while explaining about her grandmother who got arthritis and could not bend over and paint her toenails anymore. In such condition, the grandfather does it for her all the time, although in fact his hands got arthritis too. It is called love.
What about the other children in defining the meaning of love? A sweet boy (Billy - 4 years old) simply says that love is what makes you smile when you are tired. For us, it is a very simple answer we never imagine before. When we try to define love in a quite complicated way and find the best words possible to explain about it, a little boy can surprise us through his own unique and deep definition.
The cute answer is given by a 4 years old beautiful girl named July. According to her, love is when her mommy makes coffee for daddy and then she takes a sip before giving it to him. There is absolutely no other purpose except to make sure the taste is OK. Wow, the really simple love definition given by a little girl like her. For us, love is an abstract thing, but children have shown us that love actually can be seen through many trivial things done for our beloved ones.
Do you want to find some other answers in talking about the meaning of love? Nikka, a 6 years old girl will tell you about the wiser idea about love. She simply says that if you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. I also feel so surprised of knowing such idea. What a wonderful thought. No doubt, we need a few million more of people with the same idea as Nikka in this world.
And yes, the next answer will even make you laugh loudly. It is simple, honest but it shows that love sometimes make someone does silly thing. The handsome boy namely Damian (7 years old) told me that he found love as a unique thing. You can see love when you tell a guy that you like his shirt very much and he wears it everyday.
You can find the unique and surprising ideas about the meaning of love from the children surround you as well. So, how do you define love? Is that the same as those children?
