To achieve this level of unconditional love we must first let go of any artificiality or pretension, which so often separates us from others. This liberates us to tell the exact truth at all times and to reveal our deepest inner feelings. Through revealing our innermost feelings we immediately become closer to others. Loving people are emotionally transparent, with nothing to hide. Avoid living alone.
People live healthier and longer lives in the presence of close and loving relationships.
Studies from around the world show that loneliness is a major threat to health and long life.

Almost all healthy long-lived people stay married and enjoy regular lovemaking until the end of their days.
