Is it possible to live without love in your life? Is it possible to not have the love of friends or family, or a girlfriend or a wife. Is it possble to live without confidants or peers. Is it possible to go through life not loving a single soul and not being loved at all?
What would the consequences be if one was not loved or liked by anyone over a period of a standard life time? Whould the person be crazy or neurotic? Would the person become an angry being? Would a person become sick and die from the lack of love? Would the person become gloomy and dark? Would the person become like a robot?
What do you think. What would the consequences be for a person living in a world without love?
Just asking.

Wow. I think all people need love of some sort in order to survive. And yes, I think that a person could die from lack of affection. Or, they would turn out to be a serial killer or something really scary like that. People need and seek love and affection all the time. It's definitely a basic human need.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.
According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

It is possible for very few people. Some people who have autism cannot love, but most autistic people can. It was once believed that autism is caused by unloving parents/caregivers. This is false causation. If a person cannot love, the cause has to do with the brain. Since you can be loved without loving though even these people can be loved. It is helpful for people to be loved. The best health results from love come when the feeling is mutual. I think mental problems can be caused by not being loved, but mental problems can cause the feeling of not being loved. Some mental problems can cause people not realize that they are loved. Of course mental problems can show people that they are loved too. When I was depressed everyone who knew it was very supportive towards me. I have knew that I was so loved. Depression can also cause people not to be able to love others. How can you love others, if you don't love yourself? And how can you accept other people's love, if you don't love yourself? Obviously depression and love are spiritually related. The body, mind, and spirit are very well connected with each other. I believe that a problem with one leads to problems with the other two. Love has to do with all three, but most people don't think about it that way. Also I think that some people will claim that they have never loved, but most of them have and just have not realized what they felt was love. Love is an abstract concept, that many don't understand. But understanding love is not necessary for loving. Love is like gravity, you don't have to understand in for it to affect you.

Well that's an easy question- yes.
We need love. It is an innate human instinct. From the moment we are born we develop a maternal bond with the primary caregiver, and a lack of such maternal bond is what leads to a-typical behaviours commonly found in sociopaths.
Every moment of our lives we strive to satisfy others and to receive gratification. For what purpose? It is because of our innate biological need to please and to be pleased which has many foundations in love. Not just romantic love, but familial love, friends love and even many more.
Even unrequainted love, though often painful, helps shape us and lets us learn from mistakes. An individual without love is like cereal without milk, pooh wihout his hunny, yin without yang. If a person has no love- they HAVE no life. We all find love in some form and that is this that keeps us sane.

Love is the most important thing in this life. No one could live without love at all. A man would die gradually without love.... even the toughest guy ever in this world, say Hulk or Hercules needs love in their life. A person who claims that he or she might live this life without love is basically don't know what is love. They just think that they might survive without pure love, but they can't...... Love is the most powerful thing ever exist on earth.

It's called "Hell."
In Christian beliefs, God is Love, and without God is Hell, and thus Hell is also without things such as Love.
I've also read about studies showing that infants who were not shown affection or held, compared to infants who were touched (appropriately), held, and shown affection, are more likely to suffer from various things (I don't remember specifically what, but it was stuff similar to disease, sickness, developmental abnormalities).

I think a life without love would cause mental illness

What about people who grew up in orphanages--I doubt there's a whole lot of love in those places. Not everyone has a family, or even good friends. Not everyone falls in love. Nuns and priests are supposed to devote all of their love to God.
People who don't have people to love, have things to love. They might love their job, their books, their paintings, movies, TV, music, etc. I think that everyone loves something--or at least likes it a lot.
