Thanaos asked, "You DO need love from your parents right??" It would have been nice however love was something that dwas buried by my father. Mother would show her love only when we were alone, not even in front of my sibs she was that afraid of my father.  |

Love is an emotion . It's the same as being happy,being sad,being angry.. Why try to block it out ? Do you try to hide the fact that u r angry? Do u try to smile and say "I'm fine" to yourself when you find yourself sad? Let love come as it is no matter what form it is in. Whether it's a bouquet of flowers from your boyfriend/girlfriend or a hug and "I Love You" from your parents.. JUST LET IT COME~ That is my opinion for you all but I am not asking for u guys to accept it.. My opinion of my life :"Love is anything but somthing good for me" My parents work from morning till night so they hire a maid. Apparently that maid has been working wif my family for 14yrs+ She loves my siblings but why is it she doesn't love me? Thats why in my view :Love comes for selected ppl onli.. If they feel love then they are lucky. I have nvr felt any other love other than from one of my teachers (whom I reali respect and think of as my other "mother") and somtimes from my parents . When i communicate with my youngest sister, she accepts me but my maid doesn't , so It's as if we are banned from ever being friends.. Love to me is just an EMOTION.. Never feeling love thats me.   |

I think that love is very important. One of the vital things that make us human, I suppose.

For me, Yes. Even if I said, that I don't need to have a man to be successful, yet I still need a love of an opposite sex. Especially when you're depressed. I hate my <3.  |

I don't believe that we need it, people want it, but we can live without it I dont think love exists, its just confusion, all people want is sexual gratification, which is what all humans are meant to do, just like any other animal. People are selfish things that care about themself nad only themself. |

I need it. I want it. But...strangely enough, I've lived through 18 long, hard years without it. Astonishing, really, being the sadistic child that I am. Then again, I'll leave you with this. What is love? Can you define that first? There's many, many, many, many different types. So it depends on what you're referring to. |

In my opinion, it is love that makes God special. It differentiates Him from us human, whose extreme potentiality is total hatred and irrationality. At most we could only be favorably prejudiced towards another human being that we either find emotionally attached to or those whom we pity. "Love", in the most common human sense, is a fragment of irrationality. As Paul Redeker of World War Z had said, the heart is created only to pump blood to the body. The absence of love and other irrationalities of emotion leads to an intellectual evolution. |

*I* need love. =( I just want to hug and not have to let go... Love is one of the only worthwhile emotions in life. Everything else can be attributed to stupidity or impatience with some exceptions of course. |

From the time we are born, we create a sense of dependency. On our parents, our grandparents, brothers, sisters, everyone around us who is there to take care of us. I think from that point, we learn our sense of what we consider love and mold love into what we think it is. The sad thing, is, some kids grow up never really knowing what that is or they begin to loose sight of that love. We, as human beings, are born to be dependent on one another. People who truly believe they are born to believe they should be alone are people who tend to know the ache of cruel rejection, the mistreatment by others and/or the sense of not being able to remember a time of being accepted as a person. The longing for being known and the feeling of being alone in the world is one of the cruelest feelings their is. To not know who you are because no one asks you who you are, like no one cares about you as a person. To know the feeling of not caring if you live or die anymore, that no one would care. Those kind of people who, in my opinion, are the ones who need love more than anyone, because that's such a self destructive path, internally. On the other hand, people make their own fake sort of ideas of love. That people are a hollow shell, only the body needs to be loved, not the soul. False beliefs and the thinking that that lust and and love are the same thing, ruin the real meaning of what love really is. And some people think love is to be adored, to be wanted. Love is an emotion, we all know and can agree on that. But what it really means lies within what you know love to be. People are born and want to be wanted, to want to be cared about, to be adored, to be understood completely, to feel and be lost the emotional and physical meaning of love. I'm sure many people lose sight of what it means. But people, more or less, need love because we are dependent on it from the moment we are born. We want to know what it truly means, we want to know happiness though the eyes of someone else. To be held above all things in someone's life. To understand the feeling of what one person can mean to you, that who they are makes you forget the rest of the world and brings you such a happiness, even in the difficulty of life, you can easily give yourself for them. You can love them, no matter how close or far they are because they are still that person you love, no matter if you're able to physically touch them or not, because they mentally still stay that person you love so dearly. The true meaning of being a willing sacrifice to someone else because you render them so important and to have that feeling returned. Every person wants their parents to love them, to have people love them and to have someone important to them love them, help them, to hide in them and trust in them even before friends and family and not be afraid to feel that way. I think love has a lot to do with your life, its an important thing to what builds you up or what ruins you as a person on the inside. That's why many people act the way they do because love DOES matter, even if you think it doesn't. It's something we as people cannot deny to want because it's the core of us as humans. No one can see inside of your T i r e l e s s M i n d . |

Love is certaintly an emotion, and in truth, love is only a word. Love is the word we have given to this emotion, but at it's core Love is jsut the connection between two people. But yes, I do believe we all need love. We need to have those special connections with others to know we are alive, to know that we have made something of our life, to truly live and love living. That may mean we're dependent on it, but the fact is having the special connections known as 'Love' are what can really give life meaning and make it worth living. Love doesn't have to be your significant other, though. Love, the connection, is not only a GF or BF, your spouse, etc, but is family, friends. Connection to family and friends help anyone through life, and this is the same connection we call love. |

| i think everybody wants to have love even if its not from a lover, humans want to be held close. after all love is the closest emotion to hate if you love them you also hate them..if you hate them you also love them..its a circle you cant have one without the other |

Re: do humans really need love?

Under the view of one person (individual) : No, humans don't necessarily need love but they need some entity that they can communicate and have feedback with. What humans need is power by influencing others in some form or way, to have a sense of accommodation or to some effect, existence. Now love is hard to define because it can mean friendships, intimacy and a variety of other things that humans been trying to objectify and comprehend. Humans can stay sane even if they are apathetic but not without other entities that they can communicate with. Surely, affection helps you physiologically, biologically, mentally and so on but that is not necessarily mean that they are dependent on it. When you ask do humans really need love, I am assuming you mean 'do humans need love to survive under all circumstances' You can of course have a bully (hurtful one) or a disciplinarian grandfather (old man) and hate them but it is better than living in isolation and in any circumstances you are still in a relationship, even if under a negative one, in which you are known to exist in this world, in which you have some significant role or meaning or philosophy, without any sense of any meaning of any life, it would be difficult to live unless you are an impulsive one that never reflects and makes rash decisions every moment you live, but you still need a sense of belonging. So my final answer is no you do not need love (friendship, intimacy, infatuation, compassion...) however it might be detrimental to your own health if you live under such circumstances for our bodies were hard-wired as societal and social creatures and it is recommended to gain some affection (to avoid insanity problems, complications - though if you are a true philosopher, it is possible to avoid this circumstance). However the manifestation of the ego from when you are a very child requires affection or some degree of life. The ''I'' will not distinguish between the ''them'' and a self-destructive path arises. Under the view of civilization : Well, you need love, it is just an impossibility to live and form any societies if you need not have any friendships, acquatinces, partners, and whatsonot. Love and like is used interchangeably or synonymously here. Whether you define it as an emotion, a mutual connection, a thought process, a possibility of a predetermined fate, a necessity of spirituality, a deity/god's blessing or whatever, it is absolutely vital for the existence of civilization. The alternative is that we are flowers, we reproduce asexually, we are forced to have sex with eachother or we are not animals anymore or we use an applied application of reproduction or we drastically change our antonmy but even than we would perish. I believe that these emotions, whether you define it in a materialistic view of neurological sequences flashing back and forth in your brain or superstitious soul of divinity, that they are all necessary and were to exist through natural selection. All social creatures (loosely implied) with a psyche need love. ''Will to live'' => ''Desire to exist'' ''Wish to die'' => ''Desire to mean'' |

Re: do humans really need love?

Is quite simple, i'll make two questions for the people that say love is not necessary: 1. What would happen if love completely disappears? 2. What would happen if all the people finally find out the true love? (No more infidelity, no more unilateral love, etc.) For me the answers are pretty clear. If love disappears, all that we would have is hateness, looking people just for convenience and not because we want to be with them just because we want to. There would be a complete dissaster. If everyone could find the true love, then we could live in peace, loving and giving our soul to the others, hateness would be vanished such as infidelity etc. Analizing this, we can say that the bigger the love exists in the world, the better we could live in happiness.

Re: do humans really need love?

I think I almost cried when I saw this question. As far as wether people NEED love or not, the answer is no. But my goodness people, you can live off of toilet water and garbage if you have to. Things can go to complete @#$% before people can no longer live, you would be surprised what people could live through. You could live without love but what would be the point? No one to share emotions, exsperiances, or passions with? It does not even have to be love for a lover, love for a god, love for a hobby, love for a life style, or love for a beleife. It's hard for me to even immagine a world without one of these, let alone a good one. We need love like we need sunny days, because it is just depressing otherwise. I BELEIVE IN LOVE FOR THE SAME REASON I BELEIVE IN AN AFTERLIFE, BECAUSE IT IS JUST TO SAD TO THINK IT DOESN'T EXIST. |

Love, is nothing but emotion.That can be manipulated if you can master your emotions.In my point of view, love can either be aroused by certain characteristics of a person.Better known as *charms*. Yes, people need the love because without it: 1)Mothers will abandon their babies. 2)War will always occur. 3)There will be no civilization. 4)Think about it..THAT. My formula : Love = Peace, Calm, Harmony and more love. This is Rai signing out *salute* |
