LOVE- a survival instinct

love - This photo shows His hands, a cross, some thorns and a dove. I guess this can remind us of how immeasurable His love for us is. The hands shows God's helping hands. The cross is the symbol of our faith. The thorns symbolizes the Fall of Man. The dove also symbolizes peace and love.

Love. Love. Love. Wiki says LOVE is a part of our survival instinct. True? I am alive today because I love. I am in a not so good background. I never had the typical family. I would personally describe it as chaos. A lot of times have I thought of suicide, yet to no avail, I am here because I wanted something more. I want the type of death that would haunt every single bone of every person that has disappointed me. Yet again, LOVE. Love kept me sane. Love made me what I am now- a better person. Pardon the cheese but, with love... I survived. Love is a part of out survival instinct. I agree to this. How about you?

Then it must be love in one way or the other. I don't think I have that instict if it comes to gather love from someone else. I am not alive because I have the feeling or there is someone who loves me. I am alive because I believe in myself, accept my self and love myself. Since that moment I also never felt lonesome anymore. So loving oneself is the key to happiness. Only if you love yourself others can do so also.

There are a lot of things that I regret in the past and eventually, those things that I regret made me better and made me love myself more. I believe in what you said, loving oneself is the key to happiness.

hello, Agree because love sometimes fun and hurts but it is all part of loving something and someone. You have to sacrifice and understand to survive in different situation. With love we will experience inspired and happiness and it is always depends on us if we will gonna survive the instinct of love and feeling.

to every person he needs love. because without love is not easy living it really is a way of survival and an instinct. love makes us behave the level to be ourselves and do what we want to achieve your dreams because if no love is very difficult. with love and everything is achieved very easily. I agree with you. nice day!

You are alive now - not only because you love, it also because you are loved. Just think about your dear parents.. I will copy what Wikipedia said about this topic.. ~well, actually they take it from Helen Fisher's "Why we love: the nature and chemistry of romantic love" "Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species" Quiet agree :). It's love who will make this world a better place, not hatred. It's love that can give people happiness, and not hatred. So, let's just give our sincere love to this world and always give our best to be loved..

i also believe that love is survival. Because it will be so hard to handle a good relationship. If we cannot handle it very well the end up on divorce or breaking up with our boyfriends and girlfriends..
