Can You Live Without Love?

Living without love should be the given.

The fact that most people in our world require love is a sign of low self-responsibility more than anything else.

Think about it this way, let’s say you are completely fulfilled in life.

You have the perfect job, love your friends, go out every day, travel, have amazing hobbies, try really hard to succeed and somehow everything is making you happy.

On a normal day you are happy, content and love your life.

You just do not have love.

Some days you feel it, of course, but most days do you really think you would be that upset by it?

Would you honestly hate your life if the only thing missing was love?

Many people try to make love the bridge to their unfulfilling lives.

They think that adding another person that takes care of them allows them to finally feel happy.

But all they are doing is brushing the responsibility of their own life onto someone else.

They do not love their own lives and refuse to take responsibility for it so they try to get someone else to make them happy for them.

That is what we call the difference between needing love and wanting love.
