What does love mean?


FB看到有人share了一個小調查, 孩子眼中的愛會是怎樣的, so touching…..

What Love means to a 4-8 year old: A group of professional people posed 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

See what you think:

‘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.’ – Rebecca, age 8

‘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 when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.’ –Chrissy, age 6

‘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 when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing , you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss’ – Emily, age 8

‘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

‘Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt , then he wears it everyday..’ –Noelle, age 7

‘Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.’ –Tommy, age 6

‘During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was 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.’ – Cindy, age 8

‘My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.’ –Clare, age 6

‘Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.’ –Elaine, age 5

‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.’ –Chris, age 7

‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.’ -Mary Ann, age 4

‘I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.’ –Lauren, age 4

‘When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.’ - Karen, age 7

‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn’t think it’s gross..’ –Mark, age 6

‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.’ –Jessica, age 8

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, ‘Nothing , I just helped him cry’.

簡單的心, 坦率的心, 稚子之心, 才是懂愛的心.

那麼孩子首先從何處觀察到愛, 感受到愛?  是從父母而來, 是從家庭而來.  自由戀愛的可貴處, 是讓人有選擇自己真正愛的人去厮守一生, 而不是不負責任的胡亂濫做愛一番.

愛是在日常生活裡的, 幸福亦是在日常生活裡的, 你不要給我什麼驚天動地的愛情, 我受不了, 愛到我要死, 我真的會十分驚恐的. 你看赤子之心的兒童認為的愛多真實, 不是什麼肥皂劇的版本. 你愛你的配偶, 你的兒女, 他們便會從小學到愛是什麼, 長大了亦是一個正常的人, 有正常的價值觀. 什麼才是教育呢, 除了書本上的知識, 便是正確的人生觀. 喂不學歪道他們會好蝕底的喎, 但一學了歪道一生便不會走正道的了, 禍便由此生!

我發覺各孩各眼, 有的觀察家人間的互動感受出來, 有的是別人愛我的直接感覺, 而從各條愛的表現中, 內裏分別包含著忠誠,體貼,欣賞,寬恕,信任,安全,憐惜等等.

‘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<-- 這個似乎有點人細鬼大, 可有懷春少年的熱戀, 哈哈, 但若發生在濫情者身上, 情境就變得齷齪了.

最後那位小朋友, 可說是最無私的慈悲, 默默的陪伴和支持, 無聲勝有聲.

在blog世界裏, 還可閱到inspiring的文字, 互為分享, 在日漸沉淪的世道下種點希望.

閣下剛分享的文章〈為何常去夜店的人要不得〉, 可能我們有下一代,看到他們同輩的風氣,個中大氣候, 實在太恐怖了.

Moody 說...

愛本應就是簡單直接的,只是人把它複雜化了。

Fly 說...

最恐怖的反是只簡單直接把做愛當愛吧....
