Love is the ultimate goal and purpose of human life from "summary" of The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm
Love is the answer to the problem of human existence. The problem of life is not how to live, but what to do with one's life. Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Adler thought, but a quest for love. It is the only rational answer to the problem of human existence. Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence. Love is the ultimate goal and purpose of human life. The need for love is the deepest need of a human being. It is the source of all happiness and well-being. We are born into the world with this need for love, and it is our primary motivation in life. Love gives us a sense of belonging, a sense of identity, and a sense of purpose. Without love, we feel lost, alone, and disconnected. Love is the only thing that can fulfill us and make us whole. Love is not a feeling, but an art. It requires knowledge and effort to be practiced successfully. Love is an active power in man; a power of giving and not of receiving. It is the capacity to care, to share, to experience oneness with another person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love. Love is a decision, a judgment, and a promise. Love is a verb, not a noun. It is not merely a feeling, but a practice. Love is the solution to the problem of human existence. It is the way to overcome our sense of separateness and isolation. Love is the only way to transcend our egocentricity and connect with others. Love is the way to overcome our fear of death and annihilation. Love is the way to transcend our limitations and reach our full potential. Love is the way to become fully human. Love is the ultimate goal and purpose of human life.
