It is my thought that life without love is not worth living

 What does that mean? It means you need to have something you love in order to go on living in a successful way. You might love yourself or your family or your friends or your nation or your world or you might love Animals, (all of them or some of them) but in order to want to be alive you need to love something. Some people might love computers or artificial intelligence or their next door neighbor but my point of view I guess is "Why be alive when there is nothing you love about life?"

However, it's important to have hope in that you might do something like Travel somewhere you want to visit or meet some people you might want to meet or go to someplace like Hawaii or maybe the Caribbean or maybe you love the idea of climbing Mt. Everest or another Himalayan Peak or maybe you want to climb somewhere like Mt. Shasta which I climbed to the top of in August of 1970. Maybe there is someone you are in love with and you need to tell them you love them so they can have whatever reaction they might have. All these things are about having love in your life.

Love might break your heart as it has done many many times in my life. However, then it is time to pick yourself up and recreate and re-engineer your life to have a different life than you might have ever thought you could live.

In my own case my 2nd marriage ended badly after 14 years and I had to take on the idea of "There are no problems only opportunities" because this was the only way I could survive this. So, I met and married again and had another daughter and my life finally became a thing of beauty and symmetry and wonder and it's been like this for the last 30 years. Amazing!

However, if you give up and die this cannot happen to you can it?

So, the question is: "What do you love in your life OR who do you love in your life or both?"
