Humandevelopment101
People don’t need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn’t be.
-Charles Bukowski, Factotum
“
— False.  Love is necessary for healthy human development.  Many studies have been done on this, on monkeys and orphans in Romania.  With the monkeys, those that were separated from their mothers but given all other needs for life died.  As for the orphans in Romania, they were ‘cared’ for, albeit very poorly because there simply weren’t enough workers or resources- however their development was incredibly stunted.  They had an 11 year old boy with the body of a 3 year old.  This story does have a happy ending though, University students go there every semester and volunteer and since then the orphanage that had that child in particular has undergone a night and day change.  People DO need love. It needn’t be from a lover— but they do need healthy, stable, loving relationships with other human beings.
