Of course love is very important.

If your life is without love, that would be miserable.

I love my family much more than myself.

Won't you be happier if you are loved by other people?

Without love of yourself... (when I say 'yourself' I do not point at 'you' - in English you can use 'you' and 'yourself' to refer to everyone when making a general point)... ... can you love anyone or anything else. And without that, what is there to see, to live for? It is good to think of love as a power within you, not a falling outside yourself to someone else. It should strengthen your personal identity, not reduce your life. A good love gives power and confidence, allows risk (new ideas, new visions, new initiatives), enthusiasm and creativity. Can you try to watch Brene Brown on this subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Qm9cGRub0 http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_listening_to_shame.html Some important ideas there.

I would almost go as far as to say that "love" is the most important. Love for God, family, friends.....
