♥Love?♥

Can we, as humans, really explain or even fully understand the concept of love?

Psychologists claim that it all has to do with hormones... Adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin... They feel that you can fall in love with a perfect stranger in just two steps: 1. Share intimate secrets for half an hour, 2. Stare deeply into each others eyes without saying anything for four minutes.

Then why would I feel like this after one random chat on the way back from a soccer match - it wasn't the two of us, we were a small bunch of people.

Doctors believe that it is only one of the brains systems, evolved for reproduction.

So why don't I feel a constant drive to reproduce, I just feel the constant desire to be with you!

Neuroscience are still trying to isolate and identify the neural and genetic components underlying love. They see love as an unique human emotion, a biochemical chain of events.

Does this mean that all "love-stories" are going to end up the same? And if so, how will that be? I know of happily married couples at the age of sixty, seventy. Then I also know couples who get divorced after fifteen years of marriage. What chain of events are they referring to then?

According to the Bible, love has two meanings: 1. Agapao which is a deliberate and purposeful love, "Christian love" and 2. Phileo which is an impulsive and emotional love.

How do we know the difference? How do we know when we love as a brother or sister and when we love as a partner?

To a six year old, love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt and he wears it every day... To a four year old, love is when a girl puts on perfume and a guy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other...

That kind of makes more sense than any other explanation given, I just wish I could understand why I feel that... I wish I could just understand why there is always more than one... Why can't one guy come into my world and make the rest disappear?


Why am I the only one who can't understand what my feelings and emotions are?

Sometimes things are meant to be and we should trust it the way it is...

Sometimes we are  not meant to find out the meanings of important things, important and necessary things like love.
