Many philosophers have been paying close attention and reflection to the issue about humanity. In today's society, when we are faced with the impact of capitalist economic tide, the downfall of old moral, the reveal of new moral, the tortuous development of socialism, and also with The polarization between the intensifying, the Deep suspicions to ourselves and others…Then we try to find some power to help us live in a humanistic way. History and reality tell us that this power can not be provided by any specific system, legal or standards. Specific law can not be suitable for so many different Races and individuals at the same time. Only things which can touch people's heart may produce such abstruse power. Fromm's thought of love is just one important source of this power.On the basis of elaborating and understanding Fromm's thought of love, this paper will make historical and realistic reflection on people's survival circumstance.

Love penetrates in people's every aspect of life. In Fromm's eyes, love is not simply a coincidence to experience, but for a rose of art and ability that can be learned. So in Fromm's opinion everyone can practice love in his daily trifles by learning. This is just needed by people who in the bitter suffering situation of alienation. The relationship between man and self, the relationship between man and others and the relationship between people and the entire world are expected to be re-established, instead of symbiotic correlation. Love brings hope to the harmony of people and the whole world. But at the same time the role of love is restricted by people's comprehensive development level and the development of world history process, and especially affected by Individualism and private property. For more Love just gives people a holistic guidance and sets a value goal for people.
