Love

Friends, I Wrote this post when i was completely off my mind. So if you find any factual errors, excuse me!

What is love?

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. They define love in a cute manner. They define them with the relationships and friends they have seen. Though they appear childish, you will understand the essence of love. Here are some nice lines i liked the most.

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.

When someone loves you, the way she says your name is different. You know that your name is safe in her mouth.

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 someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at him because you know it would hurt his feelings.

Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.

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 what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.

If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.

When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared she won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only does she still love you, she loves you even more.

There are 2 kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them.

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.

During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.

Love is-if you hold hands and sit beside each other in the cafeteria. That means you're in love. Otherwise, you can sit across from each other and be okay.

My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.

Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.

Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.

When you're born and see your mommy for the first time.

Love goes on even when you stop breathing and you pick up where you left off when you reach heaven.

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

You know the two lines which i like the most? They are:

Don't feel so bad if you don't have a boyfriend. There's lots of stuff you can do without one.

If you want somebody to love you, then just be yourself.

Love is magnificent
Each day as amazing as the last
Love is a road
Never ending, leading toward your heart
Love is life
Constantly changing, but always beautiful....

When we discuss so many good things about love, we must also consider the fact of many break-up's. Life after break-up's is not easy. It hurts a lot. To be more precise, Love hurts..

Why does Love hurt so much?

Love hurts so much because we allow it to hurt. It's human nature. Getting hurt is a part of life. Its how you handle the hurt or how you allow it to affect you. When two people are in a relationship there are good times and bad times being in a relationship is a great feeling.
Knowing that you have a person that loves you is such a wonderful thing. But sometimes people put to much faith in other people and then when that person doesn't live up to the other persons expectations then there are a huge amount of disappointment and hurt. Why do we allow other people to control our emotions?
A broken heart really is one of the worst feelings in the world. When you find out somebody that you love,somebody that you gave such a huge part of yourself to betrayed you, is indescribable. You feel this pain in the middle of your chest and it literally just aches. It hurts oh so bad! And then the tears and crying set in. opinion you do need to allow yourself to grieve. You need to accept everything that has happened and then you just need to look inside yourself to find the courage and strength needed to move on. This is so much easier said than done. It is a part of life. One thing we have to learn is when one door closes three more usually open.
Everything happens for a reason.You must be strong and simply commit to yourself. All these are something which everyone can experience at any part of life. Its not just the

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, and mars any heart
Not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts

You never have to be lonely. There's always somebody to love, even if it's just a squirrel or a kitten. You can break love, but it won't die.

With Love,

I loved the small poem at the end a lot.. "Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts" true! and you deserved it gal! because of the fantastic research you had done and you had all the valid points.. would have voted for you but sreya's story made me change my mind..

Unknown said...

RHYTHM AND RHYME said...

I entirely agree with all that you wrote. Love never goes away.
I have been hurt recently by my son abroad yet a mother's love is unconditional, I maybe hearbroken but I love him simple aas that.
Well done on a most wonderful post.

Kay said...

awwww...the innocence of youth....take me back....please...

:)

Love is you. Love is me.

Mustaf said...

Above everything, I so much believe this "Everything happens for a reason". Even when you are broken into pieces & got hurt while loving a person, there is something to learn from it.And anyway there is no point mourning about the person who either was never yours or never deserved you.

And a true love is being realistic and practical and then love the other person unconditionally. Everything else automatically falls into place.

Pinpaks said...

wow... its amazing how much research you put into your posts. very thorough.

Very sweet post shruti. I couldn't stop smiling reading your love quotes!! they are all my favorites now!! And the serious paragraph was so nicely written. I like your choice of words.

keep writing!!

lostworld said...

Touching post.. :)
I think this is a topic where everyone finds something that they relate to. Universal & always elusive. Kids usually define & display it best. We adults suck at it :D

Miss_Nobody said...

Anonymous said...

Shruti said...

@Mustaf!
Everything happens for a reason! Well i too accept. But why people are getting hurted repeatedly when they don't have to influence in others lives!
""And a true love is being realistic and practical and then love the other person unconditionally""

When you love you should not say," God is in my heart but rather ," I am in the heart of God"

You said-"You are a super writer"
Am speechless! Am really happy to get these words from you!

Ekam said...

Aww.. these quotes are sooo cute and so true. Sometimes children speak just in their innocence and they are so true that we sometimes think are they really children or just trying to hide their matured brains.
All the quotes are lovely Shruti :)

Shruti said...

@Ekam
hi sweety :)
yes,their innocence make us think deeply and they are well matured!!

Thanks girlie

Pramoda Meduri said...

Guria said...

Sweet! :)
And does love hurt? Maybe.
But the happiness is incomparable! :)

Shruti said...

@Guria
Love does hurt, though it gives incomparable happiness!

Rauf said...

dunno why thre is so much talk abt pain and hurt in love.. in a sense we all like pain.. you go to gym and lift a heavy weight.. it pains like hell while doin it.. but it is the pain which motivates u to lift it higher.. and finalyy when u lift fully... ha.. the pleasure it gives.. mind you, the body still aches.. jus like ur body becomes stronger with exercise ur heart becomes stronger with hurt..

i've never had much pain in my life.. let alone pain from love.. wish i had some.. i can then relate to all those beautiful love songs and romanticize my life in so many ways.. but if wat u say is true "when one door closes three others open" i might as well end up with a love failure than being with jus one girl.. :)and then i can relate to all the rap songs and pep up life in sooooooooo many ways.. :)

Shruti said...

@Abdul
Something can be understood only when it is experienced. Love hurts!

Rauf said...

Crap.. Ok.. u uv someone... he/she leaves u or deserts u.. so wat.. u still got so many others.. friends, sisters, parents, teachers...... u may say no one can replace the 'special someone'.. this special someone concept is another bullshit..

hurt is something which we involuntarily assign to ourselves during these times.. i say enjoy hurt.. if am hurt by love i'd be happy and smile at myself.. life is always fun..

Shruti said...

@Abdul
Perspective differs from person to person! Love is not restricted only with that so-called special someone! Even hurtings happens when I love my friend and she doesn't respond to my love! So everywhere its there.
I love the way u look at things! Great attitude!

Cheers Abdul!

The Aspirant said...

well, its superbly written........
hmmmm love is too hard to xplain dat ppl spent most of deir lyfs in understanding it, still not gettin much success.....abt pain of love, its really a part of life.
I remember a vry gud mssg here:
" Be Careful while givin ur heart to sum, coz u nt only give dat persn d ryt to love but also hurt u"

ppl wid heartache, just can't easily move on, dey need a frnd lyk support to do it......

cheers

GOD said...

Hii nice post... nice thoughts , sad thing is doing good things assuming that we will get good karma..
we should be more selfish, we should get the pleasure of loving others and doing good than and now, instead of assuming that if we do good we will get back . thats a business. which decreases value of our goodness

Shruti said...

@The aspirant
Hey thanks a ton! But what if the pain of love is caused by a friend?

Shruti said...

@GOD
Hi GOD! Am blessed i think...GOD started visiting my blog! Jokes apart...Welcome to my blog and thanks for dropping a comment!

Lovely post Shruti!!

I believe that the true definition of love can only be given by a child... reason is so simple... coz their minds are not corrupted alike the adult people... they are nourished with the innocence which just goes off when we grow up.... Many times in life, the children will teach us some lessons that is worth for life time...

Whenever I come across the word 'breakup', the very next thing that comes in my mind is the phrase 'Everything happens for a reason'... As I read ur post it just came up... and happy to see that in ur post too... :-)

Shruti said...

@Bala
Hi bala...welcome to my space!
""children will teach us some lessons that is worth for life time""
Very true yaar! They don't lie and things come straightly from the heart! That's what I love in kids!

I strongly believe 'Everything happens for a reason!'

Anonymous said...

@Shruti...

And everytime, that reason will be there to do some good to us!!!

Shruti said...

@Bala
Yes...correct!! Glad to know u are following back my replies !!

Rauf said...

ya right.. talk abt friends hurting u.. especially girls.. had 3 of them a loooong time ago.. once they fell in love i became like bacteria to them.. present everywhere but invisible!? :)

guess wat.. too much talk abt luv and bla bla bla makes me sleepy... yaaaaawn...

Shruti said...
