How much easier it is to continue working toward a challenging goal when we're bolstered by the loving support of a favorite person, a spouse, or parent. We'll not succeed at every job or game we attempt -- nor should we expect to. For all of us our talents are many, but not total. However, our failures will be fewer and far less devastating when they occur within the context of a life rich with loving human contact. Those who don't know the comfort of love find their steps and thoughts are haunted by the fear that they don't count -- that there is no purpose to their lives. Only by knowing the reality of love can we glimpse the richly textured tapestry of human life, and only then can we feel secure that all is well. One purpose for our lives is to assure others of their importance to the life pattern that captures us all. And when each of us is committed to that purpose, both the fear and the reality of human failure will be erased.

Yes, lack of love of oneself! Although it is surely true that achieving one's goals is easier with the love and support of those who are important to us, without loving oneself a person can't even get started. If you do not love yourself, you are unsure that you even deserve anything that you may earn or achieve. You may not even set any goals. What is a human failure? It is failing to try, failing to strive, failing to seek and search and learn, failure to understand that you are worthy. Love of yourself is essential in making any effort to improve your understanding or quality of life, and just as important, to dream, invent, discover, resolve. Whether you reach your goal is not as important as the passionate drive to achieve something, and that passion comes from loving oneself, knowing that you are worthy of it.

Yes, but it depends on how one defines love. Love that is not unconditional isn't love to begin with it's failure. If we go by that definition not many in this world give/receive unconditional love. They say they do but they don't. So, human failure is a lack of love. In a "general" sense lack of love can result in low self-esteem, low self-worth and failed relationships. People set unrealistic goals and have overly idealistic expectations of themselves and each other. They become their own worst critics who are never completely able to accept who they are. In this sense human failure is guaranteed. They never achieve their unrealistic expectations and by their own doing they set up the failure.

Humans fail to reach their goals for many reasons, not just love. Love, external or internal, usually has little to do with your successes or failures as you pass through life. Innate ability, attentiveness, focus, and a host of other details influence your success. Pure luck also plays a role, the good and, most assuredly, the bad. And a failure may be a valuable lesson, while a success may mean little.

Human failures may be attributable to inadequate or incorrect education, cultural differences, faulty judgement, mental or physical limitations and a host of other factors. I might genuinely strive to serve someone motivated by love and still fail from lack of widom or experience, changing conditions, or any number of other factors. I think your question needs a bit more context. Do you intend your question to include failures like: If I try to write a successful novel, I might fail for any number of reasons which have nothing to do with loving or being loved. I might try to fly by pasting feathers to my arms and flap wildly and fail. The fall of Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars saga was (arguably) attributable in large part to misguided love, but not lack of love.

Have you heard the saying, "I can't get this thing to work for love nor money" These two are intertwined and seem to be the centre of our lives. Whether the human failure is relating to relationships, personal or financial goals, at some point we need to re-adjust where we are going and what we are hoping to achieve. I at times use the funny phrase, "there is no number one" Just recently Kerry Packer (one of the richest men in Australia) died. If the end result is the same for me as it was for him, then we have a lot in common. What we do with our lives whilst we spent the short amount of time we have, should be enriching the lives of others, rather then ourselves. If you don't enjoy what you're doing, do something different because life is too short. If I where to live by these rules, I would not consider my live to be a failure, but a learning experience.

No one can tell us that all human failure is the result of a lack of love. However, let me tell ya what the Carl G. Jung (Jungian Psychology) said, that I thought was really interesting since this came from a very good professional scientist whose school of psychology is well established and studied the world over. First though, understand that I understand, that no one school of psychology has it over the other great ones but Jung, understand, was pretty good. He has to be up there with the top 10 easily. But what he said that I thought addressed your question and was so interesting was that: He said something to the affect that he had never had 'any' case, where he was working with another person, that to some important degree didn't include, that the patient required some reconnection or relationship with his creator before he or she could find sufficient healing. I don't mean to be pushing religion and I don't think C.G. Jung was the type of person to push relegion either, but I understood Jung to say, that when we experience a human psychological failure, that some sort of reconnection or relationship with our creator, if possible, is one of the key steps we can take to find healing within ourself. There are all kinds of ways in which we could have become wounded and I'm not saying this is the only way back, but it doesn't hurt to at least look at the relationship we had with our mother or father too. I'm going to get a deep trouble with this next assertion, I know; but I'm going to say it anyway. Many of us could also stand to look at Christs' mother, Mary because we might very well need that aspect. I mean ask ourselves the question(s): What mother wouldn't want us to meet her son? (or) What mother wouldn't work on our behalf if she knew her son could help us. I know not all of us have had positive relationships with our own mother but most of us probably have, then why do a good number of us 'stop' dead still when we come to approaching Mary? It doesn't make sense. On the cross of life, Christ said: "Behold, My/your Mother". All I'm attempting to do here is give whoever out there, all the possible avenue's to possibly make that healing connection. If one of these absolutely won't fit w/ you, put it aside and attempt to find another way. But if Jung made this observation, it's a very powerful observation that we should, if at all possible, explore all avenue's to attempt to make that connection. But if our relationship with our own father wasn't that good, then we definitely need the help of a higher father-figure to fill in; and if we can make it direct, no problem. Also, if we were wounded young by having a father or mother die before our 15th birthday, we most likely would need prayer all our lives; but in the end, Love is certainly powerful and having loved so greatly as to put down your own life for others as Christ did, is certainly a powerful healing force to be considered. Hope this helps.

First of all, you have to define what true failure is. Is failure simply in this life true failure, and if not is it because it's not true success? But true success lies in finding those things that matter for eternity, including unconditional love. I believe the Bible puts it succinctly when in Matthew 22 Jesus says that the 2 great commandments on which all the Law and the prophets rest are to A) Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind and, B) To love your neighbor as yourself. Paul takes this one step further when in Romans 13:10 he says that love fulfils God's moral law precisely because it doesn't harm others. Nowhere does the Bible say you become a Christian by calling yourself one. Rather, in John 13:35, Jesus says that all will know His true disciples by their love for others. So what does all this mean then? It means that if we all lived in constant love for God and others we would meet His moral Law completely, would never cause pain and suffering to Him or other people (for we are the cause of pain and suffering, evil is a result of man's breaking God's moral Law), and would have all the treasures and successes of eternity. So you can see, that Biblically, true and perfect love could be defined as absolute success, and thus, the utter absence of failure.

Short answer: No. Why? Sin entered into the world, which is the ultimate attribute used to explain human failure. Lack of love is simply one of those several components for human failure. Bottom line: Human failures are ultimately due to sin. I hope this helps!

yes, in essence they are. I have seen this happen many times, on myself also. Everytime I have an intense relationship with some girl, first of all, I become very possesive and paranoid about she being unfaithfull... you see my parents are separated, and I only very rarely see my father, about once every six years! I am 24 now, and last time I saw him I was 22. During his visit, (he resides far away) I was like a new man, succesful, with a will to study and build myself, but when he left I fell down in the pit of sorrow and misery once again... and now my life is even worse than before, just becose now I know for a fact that there are some nice things in life... I hate being dependant on somebody else for proper functioning, ie relationships, but it is an awful truth. On the other hand, another solution is becoming a narcis (btw sorry for spelling errors) which I dislike very much... as I have felt on my soul personaly how is it being in a relationship with one... so in a way, love is a special sort of fuel that gives us power to function... without it we're just so many molecules bound together... without any really useful function! hope this helps someone a bit

I don't know if all human failures are from the lack of love, but I can say that love, according to psychology, is a physiological-psychological need(Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs).Without satisfying this need for love, human motivation begins to lack in life and depression is the result. This may cause many numerous of health problems and disorders. Where one can not find love people tend to find love in a higher force, God. Belief in God creates a new purpose and motivation in life because the human spirit strives for survival. God then becomes the answer and a major support in all areas in life. Therefore, one can see that the lack of a love and a life without purpose can be the an outlet for negativity, which eventually leads to failure.

No.Sometimes it's an abundance of stupidity.

No,Because all the Love in the world cant fix thoes who want to fail.

I think that's a good observation. If you are loved you are taught. If you are loved you are nurtured. All of these things make you less of a failure. However, it's also failure that lets you know you are loved because people stand by you.
