I wasn't saying we don't need love in our life. I just don't think we need Jesus to have it.
If we want to be happy we need love, sure, but love can also bring pain.

If we don't have love though, our 'true self', our eternal spirit, still gleans experience from that life.
Any life, good, bad, happy, sad, is all Experience, and all has it's place in the evolution of our eternal spirit.
Of course I'm talking from a perspective of reincarnation, which not everybody accepts, especially since Jesus supposedly was against it according to the bible (although I've heard otherwise).
