can you live without love? Options

[Winter]

I'm posting this up here coz when this was posted in another forum (kpopper) it started a MASSIVE debate. Things were never quite the same for most of us even after the topic was closed because it got really chaotic and people were practically screaming at each other...

So, can you live without love?

For me, yes I can definitely live without love. If I lose someone I really love, heck life goes on. You might just freeze right there but time goes on. Nothing stops time. As long as you still breathe, then you are still alive. That is the meaning of being alive to me. Even if a part of you dies when someone you love dies or walks out of your life, you are still alive. You eat, you walk, you feel emotions.

I wonder if someone will say they can't live without love... Coz createBlog just seems to be filled with more rasional and maured people.

And thats not really true.  None of my family loves my mother.  Before I was born she was turned away and cast out upon, because they are all a bunch of Over Christian hyporcritcal judmental people, and looked down upon my mom for having sex before marriage, and cuz she had a drug problem, and instead of like what a family should do, which is love and support poeple thru their hard times, my family prefers to turn its back and those they feel are beneath them.  bUt she lived fine on her own (aka without family, not without friends) for years before I was born.  now Lord knows, I love my mom, and she knows that, and her life is so much better now that I'm a part of it, but still, she survived, and it made her stronger.

Though I don't believe in the way of life that your mother chose, I believe her to be a wonderful human being. It is an incredible thing your mother has accomplished... though I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.

Loneliness is not being "unliving." Everyone at some point or another has lost someone close and feels that way. But life still goes on.

If loneliness is not "unliving", then what is living? Is breathing, eating, taking showers truly living?

Can anyone truly know how to live, without ever knowing love?

If so, what is a good life and what is an easy life? Just good and easy breathing? Just good and easy existence?

Living without love doesn't shorten your life span...lol.

Wanna bet? It has been proven otherwise.

I'll give you a heads up: read on behavioral psychology experiments.

It may not be the case with all human beings, but for the most of us, it is true.

And if you're talking about love from another person, I think you can live without that. There are other sources of substantial love.

I've already explained:

... Life allows love to exist foremost, therefore, life itself is the reason to live.

But for the rest that's why I said it depends on perspective. For some, in life, they find love; for others, in love they find life.


Love and hate are passions. If a person loves to hate, he/she still has passion.

If your goal in life is to exist, you most likely have passion for it.
