Life means encounter
Life is full of hardships, whereas, it's fun. It's just like the beer is delicious after hard work.
To the question - "What do humans live for?", many people have tried to answer in each way. So will I.
"Humans live for encounters"
It's good to meet someone that has a close sense of view to yours, but things are not so easy. Occasionally you meet hateful people, possibly so hateful that you feel like killing them.
Encounter is not only with people, but also with such arts as books and music, and with religion. Human's feeling become insired by them.
I will quote my "encounter" from the Bible.
From the Evangelion according to John, 13 : 33, 34
33"My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.
34"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. "
The action of love comes not only from the affection. The point is "As Jesus Christ lovd us". Love is similar to rain. And all of us are the cup for receiving it. Rain falls so much that cup becomes full and it overflows and the water falls into another cup.
It's a bit away from encounter, but love is connected with a Japanese word, "Ichigo-Ichie"( means: you should treasure even one little encounter because you might never meet the person again)
Treasure one encounter means think a lot of the person, think a lot of him/her means love him/her.
One book says "Love someone means hope him not to die". I think it's the same.

i agree with you about what you said about love .
i recently study bible and as you are a catholic can you please explain for me this which i got from bible :
1)No. 31: 17-18 : (Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. )
2)(Isaiah 13: 16 : Their little children will be smashed to death right before their eyes. Their houses will be looted and their wives raped. )
3)(Deuteronomy 20: 16 : However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes )
4)(Ezekiel 9: 6 kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don't come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house )
5)Joshua 6: 22-24 "And they took the city. Denied everything in the city of man and woman, young and old,
even cows and sheep and donkeys by the sword. ... The city burned with fire, and all them. But silver, gold and copper pots and iron, they put in a safe house of the Lord ")
6)Joshua 11: 10-12 : (And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms .
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded)
7)I Samuel 15: 3 – 11 (Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses. )
