Do we need love? Are you kidding me?
Even the Beatles knew that: “All you need is love,” they sang. Deep down we all know that too.
And the evidence for it is overwhelming. In the longest mental health study ever done, the lead researcher—George Vaillant —said, “Happiness is love. Period.”
The people who had loving connections with others were found to be happier and
healthier in every way. We NEED love in a way just as essential as we need food, water, and air.
Love is a palpable POWER in the universe. When there is sufficient love, there is NO fear, anger, complaining, injustice, racism, violence, or any number of other problems we see or hear about every day.
