What kind of love are we talking about?That is life without a partner, without a one-on-one romantic love and relationship. The answer to that is yes, life is life and worthwhile regardless of whether one ever has a romantic relationship.
But many people these days seem to think that their lives can't be "complete" or satisfying unless they have romantic love. This is actually backwards: as long as someone feels their quality of life depends on another person, they can never know true happiness or satisfaction... or love.
There are many kinds of love, and the most important is self-love. Until and unless you love yourself, you can't experience much more than pale glimpses of what love, ANY kind of love, is all about. And self-love is a natural part of human existence, so everyone has that ability, although in modern times it's often NOT easy to develop.
We all experience love of many kinds in our lives. I'm not sure it would be possible to NOT experience it, unless there was brain damage. Even the most seriously emotionally traumatized people can still experience love of one kind or there is no love in your life, there is... you just have to learn to recognize it.
So, in short Life Without Love is LIFE after all...Henceforth, learn how to love yourself, then love others...
