Every language has a mysterious but vital word, and in English, it is "love." "Love" does not possess only one meaning, but philosophers and scientists confirm that love is crucial for every person's life. So how do we treat love?

First, you should consider the type of love you seek, as there are various definitions and usages of this word. For instance, we use "love" to describe objects or activities like ice cream or dancing. However, one of the most fundamental meanings of the word "love" is the expression of romantic feelings or emotional ties to specific individuals.

One of the easiest ways to understand what love means to you is to explore the sources of your emotional fulfillment. Think about the people, activities, and experiences that make you feel happy, fulfilled, and content. For some, it may be spending time with family and friends, while others may find joy in their hobbies or work. No matter what makes you happy, it's essential to acknowledge and recognize these sources of emotional fulfillment.

From a young age, everyone desires to be loved and appreciated. Children crave attention and approval from their parents, teachers, and peers. They want to feel valued and accepted for who they are. Child psychologists even emphasize that each child has their own emotional needs. If these are ignored, the child may grow up emotionally unstable.

The most crucial of these needs are love and affection. Love is important for humans, and we need a way to measure it. To know if you're getting enough love, you can check how much love you feel. People need love to live like cars need fuel to run. You need enough love to have a good relationship. If you don't get enough love, you'll feel bad.

As an illustration, the book author shares a story about a client who firmly believes that money can't replace love. The client says that even if you have a lot of money, big houses, and fancy cars, it's not worth it if your spouse doesn't love you. This shows that love is fundamental, and we should always care about our feelings more than money.
