For several days, the human body can do without food and water. But can he do without the most complex, contradictory and, admittedly, necessary and dear feeling - love?
You can if you are careful enough?
Of course, the best teacher in life and example is one's own experience. Takes, maybe a little expensive, but explains very clearly. Since each person is unique in his own way, it will be possible to understand whether he can live without love only after a certain period of life.
The need for love, according to the hierarchy of Abraham Maslow, is inferior to the problems of nutrition and self-defense. In fact, grieving lovers are the most hungry and defenseless people. First, they need to feel oneness with their soul mate, and only then will they say that they are able to resist the whole world. And the food of the whole world.
From love to hate and back again
Answering specifically to the question “Why can't you live without love?”, We can single out several generally valid options. One of which is because a person lives in it. Maybe not always and constantly it is felt. Is it visible? when small children snuggle up to their parents, couples in love walk by the hand or two family gray hairs are bending to each other on a bench. It is tangible if you read your favorite books and writers, listen to your favorite music, do what you love. Of course, a variety of pets are also loved. Maybe not all household members at once, but still loved.
Love comes to homes through numerous melodramas, sad romances, books and magazines of love stories. Let not always artistic plots give a true representation of love. But we are talking about her.
Another option involves maintaining the necessary natural balance. For the hot there is cold, for the sour - sweet, for the sober - drunkenness, and for free breathing - suffocation. Thus, love is a necessity, the opposite of hatred, dislike and antipathy. It is natural that everything that exists in the world has a pair for itself, even if it is absolutely opposite. And do not forget that the step from love to hate from time to time goes in the opposite direction.
Love and be loved
The third option is the most pleasant for everyone - a person just needs to be taken care of, to accept his shortcomings and understand his sorrows. To be expected at home, they prepared dinner. Not everyone admits it, but many people enjoy going to the cinema, theaters and amusement parks together, just evening walks, because they may not feel lonely. Only those who love are capable of disinterested, tender and affectionate sharing in this way. Just because a person is. And also those who enjoy caring for someone, but not a burden or a family responsibility.
