We can all agree that the purpose of life is to reach happiness. There are people who search for it in success and accomplishment, in currency and material possession. But the core of all happiness, the hidden strings attached to everything we do, is love. We are born from the consummation of love. We eat the foods we love, do the things we love. We make friends because we love them. We pursue careers that we love. We marry the people we love.
Love, quite simply, is emotional fulfillment. And everyone is looking for love.

Sure, maybe that romantic comedy was generic, predictable, but it still had that one special message: love makes the world go round and is simply so compelling. Why did that man do that for her? How did he overcome his own securities and own selfish desires for that woman? We see shocking results come from love, disproving the theories of philosophers like Hobbes who believe that human nature is selfish and evil. Love is the one thing about every one of us that makes us do things we never thought we would, say things we never thought we would, and be someone we never knew we could.
Yes. Love is the tangible proof of the kindness of human nature, the embodiment of good in all of us.
