Love is the meaning of life. Without love we die.  Within the first 24 hours of a human beings life if it is not held it will die.  We must feel connected, wanted, cherished, important, and all that is a small part of love.  We are social creatures, with intelligence and feelings that crave reciprocation.  Love encourages us, motivates us, excites us, and helps us to forge on.  Real love is a lengthly lesson for most people, but if you are not completely self-absorbed, you will learn and know love in your life and then you can try to explain the meaning of it.  Love is Godsfrosting on His cake of Life.
