“Love exists for so many reasons.  It exists so we can find a mate.  It exists so we can have and raise offspring.  It exists so we can be accepted in society and connect with nature and the earth.  It exists so we can touch into our true nature.  It exists so we can connect deeply with other humans.  It exists so we can feel the deepest joy imaginable.  Love exists for all these reasons, and is unquestionably a core part of being human.  Love is what makes life worth living.”
