Is love the only thing required for life??

Love and its importance in life.

Namaste  everyone,
This question  bothers me often that ,Is love the only thing required for life ??
Relationships that are only based on love..in real life may be able to survive for sometime and present a very good picture of life ahead..but  there are of course  many other aspects of life as well..which if ignored mostly result in failed relationships..
This is absolutely  true and everybody agrees with the fact without love there is no life . Any kind of human relationship can not even exist without love..but forgetting other aspects of a relationship like trust ,respect, care and of course finances  definitely  will lead us to a failed relationship.
Love is a real wierd feeling but nobody can live without it... I find it strange ,yet this is 100% true..We as humans want to be loved ,rather I should say it is not a want but a need like food ,clothing and shelter..
We all want to be loved especially  by people whom we love  a lot..Love makes us feel worthy and important. We feel secure ,we feel protected..we feel cared..this gives immense motivation to live...no matter what life throws  at us ..
Love is important,rather the most important driving force for simple ordinary people..because clearly we never had any personal achievements  or a successful  professional  life..all we have was love..nothing else..There is no doubt that we were loved by our family and loved ones..so that we were able to drag our rather purposeless  life  for all these years...love was the only strength  we had..love was  and is our  driving force...love protects us from a selfish world outside ,it protects us from being left alone in the crowd..it uplifts us when we are weak ,it gives us feeling of being wanted..because  we also love our family and loved ones as they love us...there is no doubt that love is everything..but is it good thing to keep on living  a dependent  and purposeless life only for love..Losing what we really are..or our identity for love is it worth it?
The answer is may be Yes for very rare individuals for initial periods..but as far as the reality check  of life is concerned  I feel  the answer is a No. Love is definitely  the foundation  of any relationship but  because of the absense of your own individuality and purpose  for life ,you won't  be able to survive  the ups and downs of life..because love does makes us  emotionally dependent  on others..to the extent that we start losing ourselves  and our identity  for the sake of love..and from there  Love the biggest gift of life starts to become problem..for which  ordinary people donot even have a solution..In course of time ordinary  people make themselves so so emotionally  weak and vulnerable that  they end up losing their  emotional  and sometimes  financial  independence  as well  only out of love..Then they can not see a way out  of God forbid..things do not go as expected in life.
Please ,dear readers donot lose your individuality  for love..we have to make ourselves rise in love but not fall..love has to be our strength  and not  a weakness..
