1. Discuss. Why do we love? It’s heart-breaking and complicated most of the times yet do we need it at all? 

I think we all need love, not in the same way as there are differents ways to love and be loved but I think that as humans we have the instint and necessity to love. That love doesn't have necessary to come from your partner, as there are people who enjoy to living alone but from your parents, friends, pet... Also I don't think most of times love is heart-breaking and complicated, it depends of how do you love and you let to be loved. So for me, love is a natural instint and we can't fight to it, so we just have to find the healty way to love in order to not suffer.
