Love is an interesting concept. I've wondered over the years if love is necessary like empathy, not because I don't want it but because I wonder if it is a hindrance.
Love makes us do a bunch of ridiculous things. Sometimes dumb. It makes us become irrational and weak, but it also makes us strong and brave.
I know why the physical aspects of love exist; pheromones. Yet as far as the wildlife kingdom is concerned most species do not exhibit love, at least at the classical level.
Love seems to be, like emotions, a fundamental aspect of being human. At the same time we designed the concept, at least linguistically.
Either way, I believe that love is necessary. It allows us to feel happiness. It also allows us the strength to continue. Love may just be a continuation of survival instincts. A good chunk of people after surviving certain life threatening situations.
Love is an amazing feeling, but at the same time it gives us a reasoning to thrive and survive, which is strange, but beautiful.
