    Love is a driving force

    I read on Wikipedia that love is "a mammalian drive, much like hunger or thirst". I believe this. This might be why lonely people end up going crazy. This is also why you cannot say "oh just get over it, you can live without love". Because that would be a tormented existence, i should think

    I think love is a strong natural desire forced on the mind so it is part right what you say...BUT I do not believe it is a necessity and that you will die if you will not find love....unlike food which you WILL die if you do not have some within 2 weeks.

    I think people hunger for human bonding; whether that bonding needs to take place in the context of a *romantic* relationship is doubtful.
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    I think western civilization has an overblown and perverted concept of love.

    I did not make a research on this but it explains why some old lonely people turn to pets.Its just a theory OV not that im implying that all pet lovers have them because theyre lonely.But lonely people could turn to pets so that theyd have something to love and at the same time feel loved. If they dont get this affection from anywhere then they could become bitter or suicidal.

    This is a good point. Can you guys who say you don't really believe in love say that across the board, or just about romantic love?

    I believe in familial love. Everything else is bullshit and wishful thinking.

    Romantic love = you want to make that person part of your family.
