Isang grupo ng mga propesyonal na tao ang nagtanong ng tanong na ito sa isang grupo ng 4 hanggang 8 taong gulang: "Ano ang ibig sabihin ng pag-ibig?"
Ang mga sagot na nakuha nila ay mas malawak at mas malalim kaysa sa maisip ng sinuman. Tingnan kung ano ang iniisip mo...

"Noong nagka-arthritis ang lola ko, hindi na siya nakayuko at nagpinta ng mga kuko sa paa. Kaya palagi siyang ginagawa ng lolo ko, kahit nagka-arthritis din ang mga kamay niya. Pag-ibig iyon."

“Noong piano recital ko, nasa stage ako at natatakot ako. Napatingin ako sa lahat ng taong nanonood sa akin at nakita ko ang daddy ko na kumakaway at nakangiti.

At ang panghuli...
Ang may-akda at lektor na si Leo Buscaglia ay minsang nagsalita tungkol sa isang paligsahan na hiniling sa kanya na hatulan. Ang layunin ng paligsahan ay upang mahanap ang pinaka-mapagmalasakit na bata.
Ang nagwagi ay isang apat na taong gulang na bata na ang kapitbahay ay isang matandang ginoo na kamakailan ay nawalan ng asawa.
Nang makitang umiiyak ang lalaki, pumunta ang maliit na bata sa bakuran ng matandang ginoo, umakyat sa kanyang kandungan, at naupo lang doon.
Nang tanungin ng kanyang Ina kung ano ang sinabi niya sa kapitbahay, sinabi ng maliit na bata,
"Wala naman 
, tinulungan ko lang siyang umiyak."

You FEEL It"

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
Who were the "group of professional people"?
When you know your not.
It means your not worthy of being in someone's arms, and feeling at "home" forever!
But no kids said any of that this whole thing is made up. Give me a break.
Love is seeing someone at their worst and still thinking, "Damn. I get to be apart of this person's life, what a blessing."
Hi,
Who is the original author?
love is when you help someone wether they need it or not by the way im 9
Im 11 love is when you get in a fight but you forgive each other and resolve the problem together
Lucy, age 9
Love is when Mommy cleans up our messes.
And Love is beautiful onece you

each other. We're all like one big family
that Christ created together! I love love! :)
Nice, but disturbing!
How does Bobby know so much?!
well this was disturbing and fun to look at at the same time.i have to say these kids really understand it.not the toilet talk though.on second thought, i really like it
So beautiful! Truly made my day and I am inspired to spread more love around. When I asked the same question to my eight year old, her answer was, when one person gives happiness to another, it is love. Cheers! Anjana
Children know love before they are born, I think... from there, they are nurtured (hopefully) and they love as they have observed "love". Parents are vital in this role. People in their lives who have substance and good character will rub off on little kids and they will run with that and grow! Sometimes, it is under tragic circumstances that a child must learn LOVE on their own, and it's tricky because environment and resources (or lack thereof) can mean the difference between an opportunity to shine, or to fall to a bad way of life. Either way, I firmly believe that angels are always around to guide them...
Love was feeling a thrill every night when my husband walked in the house when he came home from work.
Love is a holy God who became sin for me. Who loved me even though he knew I'd deny Him.

Suffer the little children to come unto me. EXCEPT you become like one of these, you shall not see the Kingdom of Heaven.
Amen

It's a many splendored thing... And amazing. Love this...
Love is when you're going to the grocery store for milk and orange juice and you ask if there is something else you want me to get.
The absolute best article I have read in a long time.
At the end of the final one I burst onto laughing tears of joy.
Love is being able to see through a person's faults and still accepting them unconditionally for the goodness in them.
Love: When the happiness and well being of another is more important than your own.
I thought love was never having to say you're sorry.
Love is Christ. Then, and only then, love can be 'felt'. Little ones love because they are
inanely beloved of Christ...come to me as little children...trusting, forgiving, hopeful,
We all need to hear what God does and hear what little children hear and see. I am
as an old woman still learning. Are we ever to old (or harmed) to learn from the babes?
No!
love is when you feel somthing special for somebody or when theirs a special place in your heart for him/her
When I was a young teenager, my best friend's father took his own life. When I asked my mother what I should do, she said "Just go sit with him." I did. No words were necessary.
Such wisdom, beauty and courage!
Love is Evol backwards. Love is to evolve. Love will bring change in a person's heart.
Out of the mouth of babes......
Wow, that's great. Thanks for sharing about “What Does Love
Mean? See How 4-8 Year-Old Kids Describe Love”. I enjoyed reading your post
and I like your take on the issue. Thanks.
love begin from the smile we see around who is she / he ? , that i believe are we friends when ever its a smile bring loves between us.
love isbeing there for a person,loving without limit and accepting the weaknesses
for me, love is when i stand up behind the window waiting you, every day at 5 pm.
Love this! I occasionally work with children in my congregation and every single time I am amazed with their responses. I feel that love "means" nothing, it is a feeling beyond description. It puts the soul at real peace. The outcome, of course is harmony and joy!
when you're so happy and contented while helping others,that's love..
Everyday is a happy day. SMILING to everybody; strangers or not strangers. This is love means to me - Contagious.
this is great and powerful. Love is everything. it's a good thing to love
love is a word which as magic of changing the word starting with the same letter that is life
Love is when my teacher told me after class that I got the best grade, just to make me smile.
To me Love is when you would give your Life for someone,knowing that He or She would do the same for you.
Caring with special style with all the emotions focused therein at that moment is really a true feeling of love
Giving unconditional love without expecting anything whatsoever in return
Does anyone know what love is? if we did, why do we cry when we see the person we love with us, and when they're not?
Love is seeing past a person's mistakes or misgiving and only being aware of their innocence.
LOVE MEANS CONSIDERING OTHER AS YOU CONSIDER YOUR SELF
Love is when you leave something but keeps on going back over again whatever it takes
For me, Love is when you love yourself, and pass the love to others the kind of love you have.
LOVE MEANS TO ME NOT BEING JUGDMENTAL OF ANYONE, BEING ABLE TO ACCEPT ON FOR WHO THEY ARE AND LEARNING HOW TO ACCEPT THEM. NO ONE WAS CREATED TO BE PERFECT. LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY
caring and sharing,
