Love & Beyond: Understanding the worth of love in life.

Love is a complex topic- It’s a very strong feeling of affection, protectiveness, warmth, respect for another person. Its a person’s source of strength. Love is very powerful and strong as much as medicines in terms of talking about its effect on the human brain. It can apply to anyone, not just only humans but also to animals, principles, and religious beliefs. It’s a very extreme or sudden feeling of affection, attachment and caring towards something or someone. Everybody has their own different definition of love. One person’s “I love you” might mean something quite different for another, love varies from person to person and culture to culture. 

Love is a very different kind of feeling, it’s cultivated between two people and grows over time, through getting to know him or her and experiencing life’s many ups and downs together. Time, commitment, mutual trust and acceptance is all that love involves. It has always been a favourite topic of philosophers, poets, writers, and scientists for generations, and different people.

Why love is important?

Generally, human beings thrive on social interaction and forming relationships, regardless of whether it’s with a friend, a relative or a pet. Humans have an inherent need for experiencing strong bonds and needing love to avoid the detrimental effects of real or perceived isolation and abandonment. At some point, a person needs to be surrounded by friends and constant communication with people whom they love can help a person emotionally in various ways. These type of needs vary, depending upon the individual’s lifestyle, experiences, and preferences.  Moving forward without some form of love or affection in our lives can be problematic along the way, especially if this lack of support and interaction begins at a younger age.
