Love is considered a fundamental emotion that is essential to living a meaningful life. Love impacts our lives in different ways. It exists in almost all meaningful relationships that we have and makes our life better. Love has a positive impact on our lives, as it makes us feel hopeful and happier and inspires us to do better in life. When we are in love with someone, we strive to become a better version of ourselves for that person.
It can be our parents, siblings, friends, or our partners, in each of these relationships we want the other person to be proud of us. This motivates us to do better in life and to become a source of pride for those who we love. Love exists in different forms around us, and each of them plays a different role in our lives. Parents work hard every day of their lives to give a comfortable life to their children because of the love they have for them. Their children become the reason they are ready to work for hours and their existence brings a sense of purpose to their lives. Similarly, children start making efforts from the very start to make their parents proud of them.
