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.

I don't know...

After reading the Sound and the Fury, I realized how much of a negative impact the lack of love can cause to a human being's personality, soul, and mind completely. I'm sure there are those who believe they can live without love in the romanticized form, but I believe, in the end, we all need some form of positive relationship, whether you can call it love or not, to continue living a satisfied life. We can all pretend that we will "be strong and carry on" without any sort of love at all, but isn't love really the basis of almost everything?


There are many different forms of love.
Many dog-owners cherish the fact that dogs are always loving, and they never hold grudges.
New parents are recommended to be affectionate and loving towards their new babies, because it's proven to have a positive effect on the child later on.
I say love is the basis of almost everything because it can be interpreted so widely, just like religion. For example, our unalienable rights come from the fact that we love ourselves. That may sound narcissistic, but it really isn't; we love ourselves enough to come up with these ideas of what we deserve.
Religion definitely comes to mind when speaking of love. If God is something man-made, man has made a God who loves everyone, proving the importance of a love from even an invisible creator.

Most of us who are living happily have plenty of love. Whether it be from a parent, a friend, an animal, a God, or even an imaginary friend, we still search for that healing, defining bond.
