All you need is love?

Adenosine triphospate would be the basic thing one needs to live, so all you need is ATP! That would be a weird song. Just like "All you need is blood" or "All you need is s-e-x" Anyway...my opinion on love---love just has too many demands. 'Love' (in a romantic sense) would be someone living her own life and letting me live mine. We might want to look at different types of loves here. 1. Puppy love: This would be a love posessed by two high school students who are in 'love' with each other. Um...giving flowers, passing notes, taking the girl from class to class, knowing practically EVERYTHING the other person does, but still asking "How was your day?" on the phone RIGHT after one has reached home. Thinking is done from the emotional side of the brain than the logical. 2. Infatuation: This is a one-sided love. One is infatuated, or has a crush on someone, when one thinks of the person whenever a romantic song comes to his or her playlist, or whenever the guy rescues the girl (or vice versa in some situations) in a movie one is watching, etc. This one is also emotional and usually not logical. 3. Erotic Love: Lust. Love solely for the purpose of sexual pleasure. No further definition or explanation required. 4. Mature love: Now this would be considered 'true love'. This is a love that involves thinking and not only emotional ideas. This would be caring for someone so much one would take his or her life for the person, and many good things like that. This kind of love comes with time; therefore, a two-month-dating session cannot be considered this type of love. The above were the different types of love when it involves two individuals having great affection or lust towards each other. The other types of loves would be... 5. Brotherly love: a love for a relative or a friend of the same gender. This usually is expressed through caring and does not involve any type of mating rituals. 6. Friendly love: Could be for a person of any gender. The rest of the definition is provided by point 5. 7. Patriotic Love: the love for a country or an idea. Usually expressed by doing things for the country (like joining the Army to serve the nation, or participating in a sports event where the country is a participant, or organizing activities involving one's country in a foreign country, like Nepalese New Year Celebration, Bhanu Jayanti, etc.). 8. Love for Humanity: Love for nature in general. Expressed through doing things to conserve nature, helping people in need etc. Usually love between two people starts from infatuation and if it is successful, ends in Mature love. Yeah, that's all I know about love and I should say I just have points 5, 6, 7 and 8 and none of the first four. Am I in a state of awe and losing the golden moments of life? I don't know. I just have to wait for the right time, and today is obviously not the time. Doctor Bee
