Is love really all you need?

[coloradodem2005]

I vote no.

[Shoeempress]

1. No food and oxygen are pretty important. But self love is almost

as important.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

28. As Keith Richard said:

"Try paying the rent with it."

[tjdee]

2. No. You really only need money.

You can pretty much buy everything else you "need".

I find the richer/more financially secure someone is, the more likely they are to disagree with me, though.

[coloradodem2005]

3. Easy for them to say. They can afford to take it for granted.

[tjdee]

7. Yup. But love sure blunts the blow though.

I'd feel much better about being broke, and a lot of other things, if I had a lovey dovey thing happening.

Ah well.

[clydefrand]

4. I wish it were that simple, but it isn't. We need all sorts of things

for a good life.

[RPM]

5. nope

love, shelter, food and a case of beer a month. A good neighborhood to walk around helps too.

[LynzM]

6. All you need? No. But...

It makes not having many other things you want (not absolutely need) a LOT more bearable! Love, food, shelter, and sleep is a good start!

8. Love is all there is -

Love is more than love of oneself and others, it is doing and being "in and with love". If you love yourself, your work, and your family; you still need to work on loving your neighbor AND your enemy.
If you are keeping up with the Joneses, you are coveting. If you are bearing false witness about an enemy, or a friend, you are sinning.

Miracles come from love, every thing else comes from fear.

9. A good health plan helps a lot.

[Southsideirish]

18. I was going to say love, a pension plan and health benefits.

[evlbstrd]

19. Your list is much more complete.

Hi, Southsideirish! Midwestern Irish, here.
Loved "Boondock Saints."

[leftofthedial]

10. of course not

it's a song. a frigging song.

you don't need love. love doesn't need you. on the hierarchy of shit you need, love is probably not in the top 1000.

[Porcupine]

11. I thought I had love, but love wanted more money

now I'm earning more money but I have to send so much of it to my ex-love that I can't afford to entertain a new love.

If I had more money love would beat a path to my door. All in all I should have avoided love and chased money. Then I would have love.

p.s. the reason chocolate is a substitute for love is because both are so bitter without a lot of added sugar.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

22. the reason chocolate is a substitute for love is because both are so

bitter without a lot of added sugar

I totally agree with this statement and really feel this is a great way of putting it.

[Darth_Kitten]

12. it's nice when you have it though.

:grouphug:

[Deja Q]

13. SOUL is all we need. Everything worthy in life stems from it.

Don't mention the "M" word, that was created by Satan himself.

[Finder]

14. love, hate, anger, etc...

are simply emotions. If you are talking about romantic love(a/k/a lust)...that is always fleeting as any married person could tell you. Love from family, friends and most importantly yourself is what helps us grow as humans. Giving love is a hell of a lot easier than getting it.

[wallwriter]

15. ...and this thermos!

[Pool Hall Ace]

16. It's a nice option, but not required.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,n/t

[Kathleen04]

17. You need love (not necessarily romantic love)

Hesistant to say that it is all you need because there are alot of practical things that one "needs", but you really do need love and not necessarily romantic love.

IMO, love comes in many forms..love for your family/friends/if you have a religion, love for what you do, love living.. :)

[CanuckAmok]

20. Well, with cash you can buy love. With love, you can't buy diddly.

n/t

[El Fuego]

21. No you also need ca$h

[intrepid_wanderer]

23. even in space? n/t

[Shell Beau]

24. If you aren't including the necessities to live (food,

water, oxygen, shelter) then I vote yes.

[Hosnon]

25. No - perhaps in Lalaland though. nt

[tyedyeto]

26. Are you dissing The Beatles?

Shame on ya.

[MissMillie]

27. Love, food and drink, a hot shower

and a warm place to lay my head at night.... and a kitty to keep me company.
