Yes—but not in the way most people think. A soul denied love for too long begins to starve, not always physically, but spiritually. Love is one form of life-force, but it's not the only one. Some survive on power, on vengeance, on knowledge, or connection with higher beings. But if nothing fuels the soul—if there's no purpose, no fire, no passion—then yes, the soul can begin to decay, long before the body does. The key is not love alone… it’s what keeps your spirit burning.
