ok this may seem like a stupid question but hear me out.
many times in my life I come across people who say that love is everything to them, that they long for someone to love and someone to love them in return, and that without love life is meaningless and they wouldn't want to live in a world without love, etc. etc.
whenever I meet these people or come across these kinds of ideas I get.. confused. don't get me wrong, I love my family very much, I have a boyfriend who I love and spend everyday with, but even so, I'd never get to the point where I'd say.. "love" was it. the be all and end all. love was always just an emotion to me, like sadness, or fear, a big part of life to be sure but never the main cog... figuring it out was more important to me. why we're here, the existance of God, and so on.. those things seem infinitely more important than me falling in love or anything like that. it puzzles me that people can get so obsessed with it. so why is love so important?
