In my opinion.....emphatically.....YES! Now that's not to say that you have to be married or anything like that. But in some way shape or form, love is a necessity in everyone's life in order to be genuinely happy. Whether that love be from a spouse, children, parents, or even closest friends. What are the reasons why some form of love is such an important thing to have in life?
Think about the loving bond you had with your mother growing up. She was there for you, cared for you when you got hurt or were sick and was there to help you go through the challenges you incurred growing up. From a father's love you feel protected, cared and provided for and taught many important life lessons to help you develop into a responsible adult. Without that love....where would you be right now? Without the love your parents have for each other....where would you be right now?
What about those who have children? Isn't the love you have for your child that motivates you to get up EVERYDAY and go to a job you probably don't enjoy to make sure you continue to provide for that child? Isn't it your love for that child that keeps you sacrificing your wants for their needs?
All humans have the capacity to love one another. It's just all to common for many to overlook their need for love in their lives because their chasing money, fame, or some other secular achievements....which are all fine in their own right. But what do they really mean if you're not able to share those successes with someone??? Despite what anyone says.....NO ONE wants to grow old ALONE. When the time comes....NO ONE wants to spend their last day or hours of life by themselves....EVERYONE wants to be cared for, surrounded by those dearest to them....LOVED!
Despite the bombardment we endure on a daily basis being told through the media that MORE is what we need to be truly happy......MORE money, MORE gadgets, MORE fun. I'm not a gambling man, but I'd be willing to bet if you were able to poll the ten wealthiest people on the Forbes list.....the general consensus wouldn't be that they're truly happy because of their money. Think about the type of worry being worth that much causes. And if you don't believe that there is any increased worry from being a millionaire.....just take a look at the continually rising cases of suicide amongst millionaires/billionaires.....research Adolf Merckle.
Everyone has the capacity for love.....it's just a matter of determining whether it's of importance to you!
Remember...."You're Worth It"
