“A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong.”

Simplified Meaning:
Every human being needs to feel loved and like they fit in somewhere. This isn't just an emotional need—our bodies and brains are built to seek these connections. Think of how a family works; children need their parents' love and care to grow up healthy and happy. When we have friends and people who care about us, it makes us feel good and helps us handle life’s challenges better. Just like plants need water and sunlight to thrive, people need love and belonging to feel complete and well. To live a truly happy and fulfilling life, finding and nurturing loving relationships is essential.
