The reason the human beast loves is not to produce offsprings – a typical banality by the instrumental reason – but to sooth our dying. Thus Freud wasn't wrong that love and death are connected, but not in the naïve way he thought they are, as eros and thanatos. Love is not the opposite of death, it is that alleviates dying, that helps the human beast, fatefully conscious, to bear the anguish that comes with the latter.
