Ask two people what they think love is and you will get two completely different answers. For most people love is a combination of things which are often quite confusing. Love can be respect or trust, burden or blessing and wonderful or terrifying.
In all of subjects that one may experience, love is the one that has the broadest scope of interpretation. Simply put, we each have our own perception of what love is, and what it means to us. Here, you will discover the reasons why it is important that each of us experience some degree of love in our lives.
In the early 1950's, a psychologist of the time emerged. His name was Harry Harlow. This medical professional of the mind conducted many studies relating to the cause and effect of relationships and isolation in the lives of many people. He hoped to conclude that each of us had a need for basic companionship and certain "caring" relationships in the life. In his findings, he did conclude that some type of love is essential in order for a person to have a solid, stable life.
Moreover, Maslow suggested a hierarchy of needs for humans and love is very close to the top after food, water and shelter. This backs up the theory suggested by Harry Harlow.
In the basic structure of "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs", there is a core component that lays the foundation that we all have "social needs". It has been concluded that individuals must experience some level of an emotional relationship that involves friendship, physical and emotional intimacy, communication with others that is positive in nature, and basic love.
The essense of loving someone and being loved is beautiful for most people. It represents an acceptance of others and being accepted by others. People who struggle to form loving relationships may suffer from an array of negative mindsets.
Many symptoms that can arise from not being loved or not loving someone can be any one of the follows:
1. Some people may feel lonely and isolated. This can vary for different areas of life. People may feel lonely at work or at home. It is different for different people.
3. A feeling of anxiety in social context when around people.
3. Depression is often experienced by those that fail to experience love in their life.
4. In some extreme cases, people may develop suicidal thought patterns and unfortunately, some people follow through on those thoughts.
In conclusion, it can be said that love is quite complex. It is almost a necessity of life and it should be experienced by all people. Love is the feeling of being totally accepted by another person and being totally receptive of them in return. It is the process of looking for the best in another person and accept them as they are.
