Why we have songs about Love

Noticing the dominance of the rain theme in the art and music of the Hopi people, an anthropologist asked a Hopi tribal leader why so many of his people's songs dealt with rain. The Hopi replied that it was because water is so scarce in the land where they live. He then asked the anthropologist: "Is that why so many of your songs are about love?"
