All you need is love

On this Valentine's Day, I find myself singing in my head: "All you need is love, waa waah, wa-wa waah..." An old Beatles song that you can listen to here.

But is that true? Is love really all you need?

Obviously we all need food, shelter, clothing, the basic necessities. In addition to that, I've always found I need some sort of sense of purpose, some meaningful work, be it paid or volunteer. And a little appreciation for what I do.

Chocolate doesn't hurt, either.

For me, love is the icing. And how lucky I've been.

How about you? Is love all you need?
