    Do you think it's possible for any source of a living being to possibly survive without any form of love within them? Love as in passion by the way.

    I can't think of anyway how one could survive in a world where every aspect within it is based on some portion of love/passion.

    Eh, does this depression involve black people? Actually let me stay on topic.

    The term of love is more in the direction of passion which leads to all possibilities.

    Aka, I love doing art, I love writing, I love making people happy.

    Life began without love. Life, in my opinion (since it's still in a great debate), was born in accidence, since everything was made from chaos.

    No, in order for you to excell, or even live you need to have some sort of compassion for something. Now I'm not talking about girls, or material items but rather a passion to live, and move forward for something. We like to think that we're here for something, and want to reach the goals we have set. I think these goals, or finish lines are formed from our passion to live and move forward. Anyone who feels that these imaginary lines have finally been crossed will give up, and anyone who never formed these lines will die out.

    I think the love, and passion for moving forward plays a big role in keeping our existence as humans.

    Without love and passion, nothing would be the same. People wouldn't fight for those that they love, or the things they love. Everything would be meaningless rabble day by day. People wouldn't have much reason to live, other than a feeling of self-preservation but a lot of people really only go on because they love others and they want to be there for those people.

    Well as long as hate always exists.

    I think a better question is, would you be okay in a world without hatred if it ment you couldn't love anymore?

    Yeah, it's the best thing to make a minor degree out of.

    Edit: Also the best thing to make discussions on. Since nothing is true. Everyone can dispute.

    What is love? It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To some Love is friendship set on fire for others Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. No matter how you define it or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it is never proud. It rejoices over the evil and is the truth seeker. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. Always stand steadfast in love, not fall into it. It is like the dream of your matter of affection coming true. Love can occur between two or more individuals. It bonds them and connects them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. It enhances the relationship and comforts the soul. Love should be experienced and not just felt. The depth of love can not be measured. Look at the relationship between a mother and a child. The mother loves the child unconditionally and it can not be measured at all. A different dimension can be attained between any relationships with the magic of love. Love can be created. You just need to focus on the goodness of the other person. If this can be done easily, then you can also love easily. And remember we all have some positive aspect in us, no matter how bad our deeds maybe. And as God said �Love all�

    Depending on context, love can be of different varieties. Romantic love is a deep, intense and unending. It shared on a very intimate and interpersonal and sexual relationship. The term Platonic love, familial love and religious love are also matter of great affection. It is more of desire, preference and feelings. The meaning of love will change with each different relationship and depends more on its concept of depth, versatility, and complexity. But at times the very existence of love is questioned. Some say it is false and meaningless. It says that it never exist, because there has been many instances of hatred and brutality in relationships. The history of our world has witnessed many such events. There has been hatred between brothers, parents and children, sibling rivalry and spouses have failed each other. Friends have betrayed each other; the son has killed his parents for the throne, the count is *******. Even the modern generation is also facing with such dilemmas everyday. But �love� is not responsible for that. It is us, the people, who have forgotten the meaning of love and have undertaken such gruesome apathy.

    In the past the study of philosophy and religion has done many speculations on the phenomenon of love. But love has always ruled, in music, poetry, paintings, sculptor and literature. Psychology has also done lot of dissection to the essence of love, just like what biology, anthropology and neuroscience has also done to it.

    Psychology portrays love as a cognitive phenomenon with a social cause. It is said to have three components in the book of psychology: Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion. Also, in an ancient proverb love is defined as a high form of tolerance. And this view has been accepted and advocated by both philosophers and scholars. Love also includes compatibility. But it is more of journey to the unknown when the concept of compatibility comes into picture. Maybe the person whom we see in front of us, may be least compatible than the person who is miles away. We might talk to each other and portray that we love each other, but practically we do not end up into any relationship. Also in compatibility, the key is to think about the long term successful relationship, not a short journey. We need to understand each other and must always remember that no body is perfect.

    Be together, share your joy and sorrow, understand each other, provide space to each other, but always be there for each others need. And surely love will blossom to strengthen your relationship with your matter of affection.

    doubt that anybody reads it but thats what google gave me lol xD i am too tired to get my idea right now T.T

    Think that's similar to an existence without any emotion. And, that's quite unimaginable.

    An existence without love, would be an existence without meaning.

    Or at least, that's per my opinion.

    Would you live in a world with love if it meant that you were loved by someone you didn't particularily fancy?


    I personally think that is where peoples irony comes out from.

    They wish for love and yet they deny and reject it from those who do not fit a particular persons bill.

    That being said, we are all terribly hypocritical in one way or another. Myself included.

    The world isn't necessarily right, and it is definately not fair; but you have to admit every one of us indirectly adds onto this zeitgeist that turns and rolls around and flops back and forth... every one of us wants to have that "dream job" or wants to have "that amazing body" and yet we scorn and degrade those who don't have it and find them near impossible to love.

    (I personally wish I looked like this, and am working my ass off trying to get to this level.)
    [​IMG]

    In irony to the situation we become reclusive, cold and callus. Often only making the situation worse, we all dive into fits of anger and self-pity and push those we should be appretiating the most away from ourselves.

    Now I may be a cynic, but I am also a realist in the way that those same people that we idolize: eat, sleep, cry, breathe, shit, puke, get sick and will eventually pass on... they suffer from the exact same emotions we all do.

    In that regard it is up to us in order to make our own pathway in life, and from the disgust and "loveless" create love and light and become an inspiration. Not only an inspiration to others, but to ourselves... to push everyday to become a better "me".

    In that sense an existance without love is impossible, as everyone can find love within themselves. It is just up to the person themselves to throw away the chains they placed onto themselves and prove themselves wrong... and to anyone that may have dissed them before? Prove them wrong too. The best revenge is success... I will always think that and spread it around. Cause its true :)

    Hmm interesting, I was thinking something similar today but relating to art. I felt today I was lacking something in my skills that I have 'paused' even though I still produce work, what I felt I've lost is the hate I had for doing certain things I did not enjoy in art but had to do it regardless.

    While I still had that hate, I felt more passionate to my personal works, more love towards them. But now that I went through that period and eventually let go of that hatred, the passionate adrenaline I once had slipped away.

    Maybe what kept me so focused back then was not just the love but also the hate that was lingering subconsciously.

    By our own nature we excel when our feelings are involved in what we do... Master pieces in every human field are only achievable when the mathematics, art, music, physics, etc are in tune with the person developing those... So in order to succes you must "love" what you do. Whatever that is...

    The downside is that feelings, specially the passional ones (love and hate), re-interpretate our observation of the real world, and we see what we want to see, not what is there... Anyway, try to figure things out when the brain is too contaminted by those feelings, its a damn mistake... you ll screw up more before you get anything clear.
