well i guess. all people need love. love is something that makes a person whole in his life. withou love there wil never be us. god loved us so he created thw world and made human being for it toflorish and make good things in it. i think people was given the character to love. becuase people long to be loved and people who says they don't love someon is lying to himself. like my friend said to me... love is a comon knowledge to all of us because people we fall in love and we fell out oflove but still in time we still love that person whether they have hurt us or not. people must love someone for them to feel loved. |

@sakura: Kinda screwy logic, isn't it? "You need love in order to feel loved?" But what about unconditional love, which gives and never takes anything in return? (Not that i believe in it, or anything.) And isn't that the very antithesis of love? You love because YOU want to feel loved; you're just proving that you're an attention-seeker who gives in order to satisfy his addiction! P.S. Had God (if he exists) really loved us, he would never brought us to life!!!!   --> |

@ gant, I can't quite say your last comment makes much, if any, sense. anyway, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, yes a human can survive without love. but is it a satisfactory life? Most would say no, bu who are we to say? why do we pity the loveless? is it because we think we feel that we have experienced something that this individual has not? Who are we to say that a person without love has no meaning in life, no reason to exist, or simply will never be happy? Granted, there are some people who have tried to live without love, and may have experienced firsthand the conflicts associated with the lack of love. But what about those guys who dont develop love at all? =/

if one is ignorant enough, then he/she can try to be like Robinson crusoe... but fom my perspective, love brought us into this world (true for me)and my parents love me unconditionally to provide me the best they could.. but during my teenage years, i was very much rebellious thus love was a burden... nonetheless, maturity made me more in control/independent of myself... in conclusion, it's our own choices to love and/or to be loved. love's only emotion, like anger so it's optional. but then during our ups and downs, wouldn't it be nice to have our loved ones by our sides.

Aren't you supposed to get some kind of hormonal rush from love? I remember reading about it somewhere. If that's the case then it people do need it, your physiology tells you so.  |

The question is do humans really need love. the answer would be no. some marriages are not created out of love, but out of continuing a family name, or for money. some births are not a result of love, but rather, lust, or a broken condom, etc. an orphan may never experience love but can still grow up normally. Yes there are faults to my arguements, I dont really feel the need to support myself at the moment, but feel free to pick apart my arguement. had the question been, "do humans really need love to lead a happy life?" then supposedly the answer would definitely be debatable. I personally enjoy love and being in love, though I cant quite say everything that results from it is entirely satisfactory. heh.

I believe it's hard to live without love....either wise you'd have a super, really strong ambition to live that surpasses love. Like a goal or something. But most of us, when we think of love, we think, a partner for us. But no, that's not the only love. A lot of people are single since they don't need someone like that and I know quite a few who are living a happy life being single. But it's hard to live if you don't have the love of a parent, or the love of a friend. It's natural for humans to want to be needed. But the love that's most effecting would be the person for you, in my opinion. 'Cause that kind of love can either make your heart glow or break your heart. |

| No one, not one person on this earth is needed. The earth doesn't need any of us. Humans aren't needed by the earth or other animals or the air or the grass. The only thing humans are needed by is humans themselves. Everyone wants to be loved, to find someone who cares about you and who will understand you. Someone who will make you feel wanted. Without love, even with the human population over a million, we are alone in the world. |

We don't need love to survive, but we need it to become a good member of society. In psychological research it was found that children who lacked loving parents (this study was based around orphanges in some eastern european country, where the kids were just left in their cots all day until they were teenagers) were significantly more likely to become bullies, become depressed, have abnormal relationships with others, and have a lower level of intelligence.Also as other psychologists believe that our relationships with others (even friends) is a reflection of how we attached to our mother as a baby, it can be suggested that motherly love is vital for us to function in society, and without it an individual will be unable to love others when they are older. That's the psychological opinion. I like to believe that this explanation has an influence, but also that there is someone perfect for us out there somewhere XD attached by an invisible thread...

Yay! finally an easy topic! :D Love is nothing more than a social skill we like to talk about and make it look more complicated than other things. Until humans live in any kind of society, they need it, or they wouldn't support each other and wouldn't do anything in return for help and kindness, so the society would fall. But if we are antisocial, or we are alone for a long time, we don't need it, because there is no one to live together with. |

Absolutely. Every people needs love, even if they don't seem that way. Like what sakura say, God loves us so much that He created us and we can live until today, that's why we also have to share our love to other people (friends, family, etc) Maybe we can survive living without love, but I think we're becoming like...uhm...a zombie... (no offense for anyone who doesn't agree with this)   |

Re: do humans really need love?

i guess so... that's because we were made because of love, and love makes the world go round (fuguratively speaking)...^_^ 
...you laugh at us b/c we're different, we laugh at you b/c you're all the same...^_^

It is impossible for a person to live his/her own life without love, even for the worst kind of antisocials. In fact, they (the antisocials) are being loved by their family, even grocery's owner (Without love, I doubt they'll sell their goods to some antisocials, who really need it to live alone) heck, even Tarzan who lives alone loves his jungle friends ^^

Love is an amalgamation of emotions that is specific to the situation and to the person. When we describe love, it is a generalization that is defined by our general, collective perception of it. Whoops, Jung slipped out for a minute there. After all, there are varying definitions of what true love -- that is, what is valued as a pure form of love -- simply depending on a cultural background. Do you agree with your dictionary's definition of the word "love"? There are certain emotions that a person can feel an affinity for, and those who are quite social tend to relish in a certain form of affection, which can possibly be termed as friendship, love, or whatever the person feels it should be qualified for. It's my personal belief that a certain form of comfort is attached with such an emotion. One that is taught to hate finds it difficult to love. We may describe perfection (in relation to love, that is, the perfect form of love and how to express it), but, in the end, it's simply our limitation of an ideal. When you feel a strong connection to someone, or something, and feel that it is more important than yourself, then you could even call that love. It is impossible to leave a trace on this planet without a connection (granted, that connection may not reciprocate feelings) with something, be it well known or quite individual and personal, particularly for humans. Humans are creatures that seek to describe physical responses with a description in words, and as a result, we often fail to identify whether or not those words are substantially wrong in the first place. So, perhaps, before we answer this question of what love is, we need to define what humanity is (which some people have given their opinions of). An ambiguous discourse on the nature of words such as love and humanity, yes, but I believe humans strive for comfort in their connections and relationships. I believe that it is impossible for humans to exist without love, but we cannot say loving another person is the only form of love. We cannot say that love is a perfection that humans strive to achieve. Love, in its most perfect state, would be the ultimate emotion to make humans in pure bliss, then. However, because of the very fact of how we're raised, and how we're taught to think, living life "loving" according to how you think you should generates the most happiness. I think love is necessary. It's just that we can't always identify it's forms. Loving an ideal, a thing, or someone, and accept the consequences of it, well, that's what you can call love. |
