I do not believe it is possible. It is love that nurtures us from infancy on. There have been studies on that subject and the consensus is that love is essential to human health. Babies do not thrive without love.
People who live long periods , year and years, deprived of human contact can and do actually go mad and succumb to their madness. There has been a lot written on this subject.
The histories of the children of war torn Romania can attest to the devastating results of the lack of love and human contact.
Personally I want all the love I can get.

sure.
If you were the only human on earth, and had never seen another human before, wouldn't you just go on living?
It gets tricky when you've experienced love. Say you have a great family, and a nuclear holocaust causes everyone on earth do die but you, because you sleep in a lead room (don't ask me why, It's a hypothetical). Would you be able to keep on just living, with the agony of knowing that the human race is done for when you die, and that you can't just reassimilate yourself in society, because it doesn't exist anymore.?
The real question is, is it possible to survive if, during a good life, all possibility to love is removed from you?
You might be able to turn it back on yourself, and just love yourself until you die, but I think that would be extremely difficult

To some extent, it is possible to SURVIVE, to be in existence, but not to LIVE.. for to live without love is not living, it is a dull.. meaningless existence!
for even when there are people who do not have room for love (as they claim), but only have survival in mind.. they embrace life and hold on to it.. they refuse to give up.. to give up life.. and that's love.. the kind of love inherent to all human beings.. the love of life!
people live for love..
people die for love..
and love is here to stay..
now, that's the best thing there is to say..
so you can just forget about living without LOVE!
oh, survive you say? but without love.. who cares??

No. Maybe romantic love, but not a total lack of love. They've done psychology studies on animals and people and without some sort of love and affection, they start freaking out and acting strange.

i can't live without love coz it makes me feel so lonely inside, sad and nothing to live for. At least even if there is love for God and just for God, there is a reason to live and that makes a huge different

Millions of people live without love. They are only thinking of survival.

Literally and logically speaking, it is possible.
But a life without love is'nt worth living.

It is possible to survive, but it is the epitome of emotional pain.

To survive? Certainly. If you aren't aware of Cinderella, you can live a life untainted by sentimentality. But once you watch Cinderella, why would you want to?
