Is love really what we need?

[Warbsywoo]

Like the topic suggests, is that the one concept that would give us joy or happiness whenever we're down from something else?
Is all we need love?

And I'm talking about all sorts of love (in it's happier stages), paternal as well as love love. <---- I had no idea how to phrase that =\

I've never fully experienced it myself, being to shy and stupid to even go after it, but is it really all that worth it to get caught up in love.
I'd like to know assuming that that love actually works and doesn't fail you.

By the way, I know love hurts, I've seen it happen

P.S. Damn I'm in a 'lovely' mood to-day =\
Yay 100th thread.

Lol you're so weird.

Anyway, ever heard the song, "What the world needs now...is love sweet love." So I would assume yes?

Well, from my experience...yes. But love can be a dangerous thing sometimes. Take it from the song, "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough." If you read the lyrics carefully, you'll see why.

But anyway, overall, yes...love is the key to happiness...well usually anyway. Works a lot for some people, but not a whole lot to others.

I can see how it would inspire happiness in a person, but I'm not entirely sure it's what everyone needs. I for one have never experienced love (I distance myself far too much), so I've never felt dependent on such a volatile thing as "love," and moreso on friends, general comedy, and time to myself. Music normally acts as a good last resort, too.

Love makes people far too vulnerable to the world, so the longer I can go without it, the better.

i live by squalls philosiphy (if you dont get close to people you can take anything and feel less pain) so i dont need love and have never experienced it either so the answer is no

Love is the best feeling in the world and also the worst. As Saxi said love can make you vunerable and view the world through rose tinted glasses. Not everyone needs love in order to function, but some need it more then others.

I find that that is a truth.
I myself distance myself from other people especially if I find that my personality does not complement or even relate to his or her personality in any way whatsoever.

I have never experienced love, but like SapphireStar has just said, it can be both a boon and a bane.

I guess it's just how careful you are with that delicate feeling called 'love' that determines whether or not it swings for you. =\
