like to vs would like to

I give two sentences below. Please help me understand the difference.
1. I like to see my mother prepare other dishes.
2. I would like to see my mother prepare other dishes.
My question is that do the two sentences above express the future events or "1." express the habitual and "2." express the future events?

The first is a universal statement-- past, present and future. The second is a present desire for a future event.

  • The first is a universal statement-- past, present and future.
