Why do we need love at all?

I am refering to all 'kinds' of love..parental, fraternal, freindly, romantic...
Do we need a recognition that because this person loves me I am important..or i am worth something..
Do we need someone to cling upon because of the inevitable weaknesses of our personality, for emotional gratification, always in search of a father/mother figure...
Do we genuinly want to see the other person happy (because of 'us' again..

Answer:
Love is what makes the world go round, the reason for living.
it is as essential as food and water nobody really knows why but theres this.
there was a huge orphanage(sorry cant remember name are place) somwher in europe where nuns worked franticly to feed cloth and keep all the babys in good health but they could never spend time to hold or love them. the babies died
An inborn affect...we all need to feel like something to have happiness. just to live. without love what would life be? whoever refers to love as a weakness is only half right. love is definitely a weighty responsibility but it is a power beyond belief.
humans are tribal animals.
Its genetic. we fucntion in groups, Love is the emotion that expresses these social bonds.

yes
We don't.
Think of it this way...trying imagining a world without love at all or the people in your family that love you not even caring one bit about you. I think we need love because we all yearn to be liked and have someone who will support us and be there for us when times get bad weather it be a girlfriend, mother, granmother or even a friend. We need to be social with one another because the qaulity of life without social interactivity and without love what would eb the point of living if we were locked up in a room with no social interaction and all we did was eat and sleep. Communication and love are a big part of life and without it we have really no life. I don t know of any of this made sense but thats what i think of it as...it has a lot to do with quality of life...whats life with out communication and or love or friendship?
well GOD created it we all need it we need it to survive just think ... living without ANY love in you life image how hard that has to be
Nice question. I always get the feeling that there is no love in this world. Love is a psychological need. I can't think of a better reason for its need. If you ever lived away from family and had no friends you'd probably understand...
Yes, because we can't survive without it. We are just like bacteria. Feeding on the want to be loved.
We don't need it. Need implies we must have it for our very survival, and that's just silly.

But we do want it.
It's human nature to love someone else..without love well then you would only be a half of a person to me.
Love is what keeps us all happy even when we feel like crap that he or she doesn't love us. Love is what inspires everything!
People feel important through many things and being loved and loving in return makes us complete and gives us a reason to wake up each day and want to live.
Love is the butterfly feeling you get when you see them walking past you...it's also the warm feeling you get when you know they're happy.


I'm a hopeless romantic...so I may be off a bit. :)
Love is a feeling everyone wants to feel (romance that is).People spend their whole life searching for that special someone.So many never do find that person.Love will come and can disappear like a sweet fragrance on the wind.
Not everyone needs every kind of love. (E.g., a priest is
not in need of sexual-love, because he lives a life of
celibacy.) But, "unconditional love"--such as the sort a
parent has for their child, a pet owner for his dog, or the
sort two long-time friends have for one another--is the
sort that's necessary for everyone to have, because it
gives a sense of worth; of being needed.
Without unconditional love, a person might as well be
a hermit in the remotest region of the Appalachian
mountains--because they'd have no way to feel at all
needed.
I think we don't need love or need to love anyone because the one little thing can change your mind bout that thing or person.
U NEED TO EXPERIENCE. U NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LOVE. U LOVE UR SELF.
In general the need of someone loving is felt due to the following reasons :
- To share the joys, happiness and sorrows;
- To serve as a source of security;
- To get fulfilment of normal social , economic and physical needs;
- Source of motivation;
- Emotional gratification;
- Future security ;
- desire for appreciation;
- Recognition.
Each human being felts the need of these controlling factors and that is why accepts social responsibility of the institution of Family as well as marriage.
Once a true love develops , the two become one and start thinking and working in unison for every work.
Once two persons start loving each other they genuinely care for the sentiments,likes and dis-likes of each other etc.
Love is a Hunger and that everybody needs it, otherwise we will die soon. You know one thing a new born baby will die if nobody touches the child for more than three hours. It wants affection, love, or kindness or warmth as soon as it comes to the earth. That child's birth affection rate will be increased every day and grow to the maximum when you become Adult. Have you seen Old people cry when they become emotional . So love is a basic HUNGER Yours VRVRAO
