Why do we love?

Got this from a book Im reading,"The Last Jihad". Its pretty interesting,about the situation in the M-E,and the war on terrorism. Some of the events in this fictional story actually parallel a lot of reality. Arafat dead,suicidal planes on the US homeland and the invasion of Iraq.

But this particular paragraph drew my attention the most.

"In a way,God and the afterlife where kind of like gravity,weren't they? It didn't matter if he believed in gravity or not. Gravity was a fact,a simple physical law,a force of nature. A person could stand on top of the Empire State Building shouting,"I don't believe in gravity. I can't see it. I can't taste it. I can't touch it. It doesn't exist." And then jump. But what then? Would his lack of belief in gravity cushion his fall? Of course not. He'd smash on the pavement and die.

Gravity couldn't be seen. But that didn't mean it wasn't true. The truth about gravity could be discovered. And wasn't it smart to discover gravity before it was too late? Maybe the same was true about God. Maybe it was smarter to find Him before jumping blindly into eternity like a fool without a parachute."

Simple logic,but the truth escapes so many people,even me at times. And they say people are getting smarter nowadays......
