Chapter 66: Helen's Love and Liking
Censored
"Uh! Love and liking? This is a difficult question. Let me think about it." Ulysses was stumped by Helen's question.
Indeed, generally speaking, the meanings of the two words love and liking were similar. Take the fat bread that Helen and Cherie liked to eat as an example. One could say that they loved to eat fat bread, or they could say that they liked to eat fat bread. But this only referred to the fondness of objects. If it was changed from an object to a person, it would make a big difference.
In the communication between people, especially between boys and girls, the meanings of the two words love and liking were quite different. But how could he explain the difference between the two to Helen? Ulysses was lost in thought.
"Helen, listen carefully. The so-called love refers to feelings that are much stronger than liking. Especially between people, only when you feel that the other person is more important than yourself, can you say that you love the other person, otherwise you just like the person. Do you understand?" After thinking for a long time, Ulysses found an answer that could barely explain.
"Is that so?" Obviously, Ulysses's answer was still a bit incomprehensible to Helen, as it could be seen from her frowning brows.
"You don't have to think about it so much, Helen. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you still have time to learn the difference. I believe you will figure this out by yourself one day." Seeing Helen's sad face, Ulysses stroked her head lightly, comforting her with a gentle tone.
"Ah! Daddy, I understand it now!" Suddenly, Helen yelled, startling Ulysses.
"My feelings for Cherie and Sister Rasputin are like, but my feeling for Daddy is love! Am I right!? Daddy!" Helen said excitedly.
