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.

alright... animals can be familiar with things, but tell me about your experiences loving as an elephant in your previous life (do NOT mention Dumbo)

Huh? What does Dumbo have to do with anything? He's cartoon!

Edit:: or are you trying to say that I was an elephant? I'd consider that rude if I were nit-picky, but I'll let it slide.

An animal knows maternal love. Have you seen female animals care for their youngs?

I see it all the time on discovery channel: a rat races to carry her youngs out of the way of a hungry snake.

OR, if you want to speak of elephants:

"And," said Apollonius, "you need not, Damis, confine your remarks to elephants; for this animal is only second to man, in my opinion, in understanding and foresight; but I am thinking rather of bears, for they are the fiercest of all animals, and yet they will do anything for their whelps; and also of wolves, amoung which, although they are so addicted to plunder, yet the female protects its young ones, and the male brings her food in order to save the life of the whelps.

Argue against that.

Edit:: and this:

And who does not know the ways of birds, how that the eagles and the cranes will not build their nests until they have fixed in them, the one an eagle-stone, and other a stone of light, to help the hatching out of the eggs and to drive away the snakes.

And if we look at creatures in the sea, we need not wonder at the dolphins loving their offspring, for they are superior creatures; but shall we not admire the whales and seals and the vivparious species? For I once saw a seal that was kept shut up at Aegae in the circus, and she mourned so deeply for her whelp, which had died after being born in confinement, that she refused food for three days together, although she is the most voracious of animals.

'And in the case of all animals, then, their life lay in their children."
and I agree with you, for it is better so."

If that's not love, then what is?
