Love
Love is one of the very first feelings that we distinguish as human beings, whether through experience or lack there of, and is important for healthy human development and a healthy life in itself. One reason why love is so important is because man is a social creature, who needs companionship and compassion to survive in a healthy state of mind. It is an obvious fact that children who aren't shown love and affection grow up without the ability to love others themselves, and in some cases, react violently to human stimulus. A person that has to endure the hardships of a childhood without love also usually endure intense struggle in life because of their lack of ability or willingness to communicate with others because of their experiences as children. And because of the way that society is and has always been, people who cannot effectively cooperate with others that still achieve any kind of personal or materialistic success are rare or nonexistent.
Another reason that love is such an important factor in the life of a human being is that people use the love of others as consolation in times of despair. Without love, common problems encountered in everyday life could potentially become unbearable to a person without moral support from friends and family. With the love and encouragement of others, the impossible becomes possible, and the insurmountable becomes doable. True success and advancement comes with hard work, dedication, and above all success comes with help.
Lastly, along with love, companionship is essential not only for materialistic success but also for genuine happiness in life. Although some may say that companionship isn't a factor in success, I disagree. "Behind every good man, is a great woman", like the famous quote states, although everyone has the capability to achieve success for themselves, true inspiration and greatness stems from the love for another. In a sense, it is debatable whether or not you can live without love and companionship; of course you can survive without love, but is that really a life worth living? Is a life lived in solitude a life at all? At one point or another, every desolate person must ask themselves that question; maybe it is only a lucky guess, but I think the conclusion is always the same, a life without another to love and to be loved by is a meaningless one.
