You think love is a “nice to have” kinda thing? That we can live without it?

Well, according to Drs. Lewis, Amini and Lannon in their book, “A General Theory of Love”:

“Adults remain social animals: they continue to require a source of stabilization outside themselves. That open-loop design means that in some important ways, people cannot be stable on their own–not should or shouldn't be, but can't be.”

Wow.

This plays into the whole “No man is an island” thing. Our interconnectedness and interdependence is obvious and unavoidable. I was in a heated debate with a friend once who was going through a rough patch. He stubbornly claimed, “I am a separate, unique being. I am an island!”, to which I replied, “Made those pants yourself did you?” He is no seamstress… ;-)

heheheheh

nice. :)
