I dunno, I can't see nothing like that having happened. It's a good question, after all.
I like M. Scott Peck's take on it:
Quote:
M. Scott Peck said: Love is the will to extend ones self for the purpose of nurturing ones own or anothers spiritual growth.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Love is a chemical reaction that causes a human being to think and act in the most irrational of ways, yet is necessary for and individual's growth and happiness.

Love is the CURRENT that erodes the dis-sentient sure ov time as every granular universe dis-solves into the see for a moment's ecstatic eternality.

No, that ireational behavior is due to subliminal sexual activity. Love is much more than that.

100% agree. I think our cultural programming gets love and 'chemicals that make you want to reproduce' entirely mixed up.
The two things are very separate IMO, but take a look at pop culture and you'd swear they're the same thing...

No, that's brain chemicals.
Love is something undying; a force beyond nature; something almost otherworldly that has sprung up from this failing evolutionary experiment.
IMO love is the one true force of good that exists in this whacky world. I'm not sure I'm making much sense here, but love, IMO, is something quite aside of of what causes us to procreate. I don't think many see it that way, however. Hell, most would argue that love isn't unconditional by its true nature!!

It makes sense. Love is an unbreakable bond that only death can break. And even then it is debatable whether or not it is even broken then.

I wholeheartedly agree. I have had this inkling many times in my life.

Its definitely subjective. I dont relate at all when people say things like "love is the answer" or other play on words about love. I dont see or feel love as a mystical or spiritual force
To me love is a brain mechanic, which on a subject to subject basis could be explained and mapped out on a digram showing all the intricacies of the persons concept and experience of love for something or someone

love and loving receive a lot of attention, as they should. it feels great to love, to give love, to share love, to want love.
one concept we dont hear talked about often enough is falling out of love. that is, in my opinion, complimentary to falling in love. life is a cycle.

love is a healthy cycle.
as the sun rises and we feel warmth.. as the sun sets and we feel cold.
such is the rule of nature.

Anything that can be quantified is just a byproduct of love :p

Well Ler These songs always sound so fast Is It Luck? Polyester makes you sweat Is It Luck? If a graham cracker gets you off Is It Luck? Love, love, Is It Luck? well Herb She said she wanted my body and not my mind so I showed her my dictionary to show the words that I know and from not what I examined I can be how loquacious when I set my mind down to it And she wasn't impressed no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no She wasn't impressed at all. She whispered in my ear! She whispered in my ear she said, "You want to get lucky little boy?" Oh I smiled I smiled and I said, "Is It Luck"

I don't know about that; all too often I hear people lament on the fact that they fell out of love with someone.
IMO, if you fall out of love, then it wasn't love that you were actually feeling; it was those brain chemicals, or whatever else it is that people above say 'tricks' us into irrational behaviour and subliminal sexual activity and procreation. I could try and explain in my own words, but this guy does it better:
Quote:
Gregory David Roberts said: You can't kill love. You can't even kill it with hate. You can kill in-love, and loving, and even lovliness. You can kill them all, or numb them into dense, laden regret, but you can't kill love itself. Love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe
