Human beings need Love. Without it we die. Solitary people without love are five times more likely to die early. Match this with plummeting birth rates in many western countries and major increases in the number of people living alone, and you've got to say that the world needs a lot more loving in it. The second truth is a definition.
Love means more than liking a lot.
The third truth is about who we love. We all know about romantic lovers, but there's the love between couples who have been married for years, within families, with close friends - all loving relationships. The fourth truth relates to the emotions around Love. Love is about responding, about delicate, intuitive sensing and empathy. The fifth truth reminds us that Love takes time.
