What is Love?

 

[sky_angel]

There are so many different types of love

 

[cheezcake]

Baby don't hurt me

 

[JINOUGA]

dun hurt me

no mo

 

[matneyalice]

definitely, i think. it may be in any form. it is very difficult to live without love.

 

[Fawun]

According to Shadowdude, yes.

 

[Shadowdude]

if you love someone, follow your heart

'cause love comes once if you're lucky enough

though i'll miss you forever; and the hurt will run deep

love will set you free

 

[Lonely Magpie]

Yes, love is necessary, but not necessarily romantic love. It might sound corny as heck, but I think that a love for friends, family, and the world around you is enough to let someone live a perfectly fulfilling life.

I present to you Maslow's hierarchy of needs (he's a legit psych dude of knowledge)

 

[Lolsmith]

why does family make two categories

 

[Shadowdude]

because it's important

 

[Alexis Texas]

i assume you're talking about romantic love

nope. as long as you have mad friends and someone to fuck i don't think you need romantic love.

 

[Alexis Texas]

So do I.

but does it have to be romantic love?

i think i'd be pretty content if i just had awesome friends and regular sex

but i guess ~the right person~ is p much just your best friend + sex so whatever. don't really think it's a *necessity* though as long as you have those two things, whether they come form different people or not it doesnt' matter.

@OP

Necessary? No. Desired? Yes.

This I reckon. It isn't necessary, but almost all people want it. Whether they can find what they are looking for in this respect is a different story.

why does family make two categories

because family fits under both of those categories (for most ( :'( ))

No. In a romatic sense, it is not necessary (for all).

Love for and reciprocated by your family is determined by your circumstances and that determines its necessity.

Logically speaking, we can all function as an individual. We have the capability to exist on our own, but human emotion is what drives people to function the way they do, and love is an overwhelming emotion for what seems like a large portion of society.

Personally, I don't crave or need romance/love. I'm odd though.

Imagine having no love, that'd be horrible.

I can't even fathom it. Having absolutely no one or anything give a shit about you.

a large number of people who commit suicide cite feelings such as extreme loneliness/feeling separated from everyone/etc as a contributing factor for their reasons to die, if not the main reason.

Technically, yes, you can live without it in a physiological sense, but what kind of quality of life would that be?

Depends on where you are psychologically. To live without you need to be prepared and willing to live without.
