Love defines us...love is life..love is the reason for being alive and living...self love and love for others including family and friends and yes, pets....It's everywhere - look around you...

no, people just trick themselves into thinking that they are without love. i cannot think of a single situation (and ive been thinking on something very similar to this for many many moons) in which someone is without love. and that's not counting the christian view of things in which everybody is loved by god...there is no one who doesn't love someone or something, at least a little. if they didn't then nothing would keep them from suicide...and when someone commits suicide there is always someone who loved them and so they did have love in their lives. living without love is not possible...even if you can't see the love, it's there. but im going to stop now because im getting cheesy.

Yes.
I also believe that they could live happily, though not in the same definition of "happiness" as those who've felt love.
People can live without love, belief, family, friends, meaning, religion, philosophy, law, etc.
Should they? It depends. If they are exposed to all of these things and choose to live without them, then yes.
I do wish that everyone had a chance to feel real love (not romantic love), though.

Even a baby can lose the will to live without love.People have tried this experiment years ago.A group of babies with loving attention and their tummies full.And a group of babies that was fed and changed with no extra human contact.The ones with no love died.I can't tell you when this was done.But to even experiment with life is awful.It's true you can live without ever getting married or have a boyfriend.But life without any love would be awful.

I dont think they could because as your mind matures you begin to question the world and why we were put here. Why are we alive and what is the purpose. If people did not have love then the worlds population would drop really fast. Women would not have babies and people wouldnt go to work and support thier families. So the answer is no

That depends on how you define the word "love". Evolutionists does not believe "love" for it refers to God and they force themselves not to believe God.
For the world of the Christians, yes they could not live without love because they understand that God so loved them first.
And the philosophy of the Christians is that "You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving."
For we are God's masterpiece created unto all good works (ephesians 2:10)

I do not think so. Love is in everything relationships, parents, relation, religiously just about every part of life when your born your loved and when you die your missed cause someone loved you, and oh yeah making love brought you into this world! LOVE is in everything so you cant live without it

No. Things grind to a halt. It's hard to describe but you without someone to keep you going life becomes meaningless and you'll get to the point were you don't care about anything and won't want to do anything at all but just lay there.
That's not living so that's why I say no.

Not really, love makes the person whole, one can live without hate though, it only takes a little effort. If you are a kind, compassionate human being with empathy, you will be loved naturally.

Yeah i think some people can..and some people may find that
hard to do..but remember there's someone who love us all
and thats God our Farther..he love us no matter what! when you
don't have a friend in this world remember God loves you
when people act unfriendly to you and you feel all alone remember God love you !and his love is the best love you
could ever find..his love is the type of love you would
never find in a humaning being.

no. there was a study done on 20 babies.. 10 were held, talked to, loved... the other 10 were only fed and other necessities with as minimal touching and no talking as possible, no love.. the first 10 strived and doubled their weight in a couple weeks.. the other 10 lost weight and got sick.. they both got bare physical necessities.. but the factor that determined their livelihood, and their willingness to live was love..
