Have you realized that almost everything we read is about love? Every song, every story, every movie. It's always about a love for something. It might not always be a love for a person, but a love for anything. For example, in Candide, Miss Cunegonde is Candide's love, and in All the King's Men, Willie has several love affairs and Jack is in love with Anne. Why is that? Why is love so interesting, and why is love the only thing that can make a person so obsessed, depressed, and estatic? Is love really that powerful to overtake someone and make them completely enslaved? Another example is Romeo and Juliet. They were so in love that they were willing to take each other's lives in order to live on together in death.
To me, I think love is one of the most important feelings in the world. Without love, I do not think our world would be the same. Everyone has a love for at least something and people who do not have a love for anything cannot make it in the world. For example, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, we all know what happened to Voldemort [I don't want to give it away to those of you who havn't read it] because he has absolutely no love in his soul and Harry did. Think about it, without love for your parents, you would not have a childhood, or without love for your favorite hobby, you would be bored all the time. Love is such a powerful feeling that I think it makes the world go round. I don't want to sound all hippie either, but I really think it does. So give someone a hug, tell your parents you love them! Cause without love, our world would be so much more difficult!

Well said. Love, I believe, is one of the strongest, if not the strongest force out there. This is because it's not one sided. It is like a plant, always needing to be tended to to ensure it grows. And as long as it's not forgotten, it can always thrive, thus making it stronger. I also think that your deductions are spot on. This strong emotion is indeed the ideal topic to write on in the literary realm. I suppose it's because Love opens up countless possibilities.
Yes I totally agree with you! I think that it's so cool how one emotion can cause so many actions.
I love the way you described it as a plant, growing and thriving, and it's so true! Honestly, without love, I don't know where this world would be!
