This is by no means a serious post, as the title may suggest. I will not delve into the many meanings of love, the painful pleasures love brings, or the ways it touches our lives.
I will simply quote a little conversation I had had with my 3 year old niece. Her name is Leen.
Tololy: How much do you love me?
Leen : I love you this much. (stretches her arms on her sides)
Tololy: Well I love you..ummm…bigger than Florida and Jordan and America!
pause
Leen : I love you bigger than Marj Al Hamam*.
You see, love does not have to be complicated.
*Marj Al Hamam: An area in Amman, it so happens that Leen lives there. To her, it is the biggest love measuring tool available.
