EvC Forum: What is love ?

??? writes:

Love= a feeling created by our brain membrane not by our heart, sometimes it hurts people and sometimes make people happy.

Is that how "love" is created? Gee..I learn something new every day!

I suppose that in logical terms, our Heart is merely a pump...and is incapable of being "broken" unless one suffers a myocardial infarction or something!

You all know me! I have to see the definitions that human wisdom has given to a word since there is no way that such a feeling could be invisibily imparted to us....Right?

I'm aware of the chemical processes that deal with love, it's combination of sexual attraction and attachment, but there's more to it than that, a lot of which is unexplained.

Well...lets look around for a defintion, shall we?

SYNONYMS love, affection, devotion, fondness, infatuation. These nouns denote feelings of warm personal attachment or strong attraction to another person.

Love is the most intense: marrying for love.

Affection is a less ardent and more unvarying feeling of tender regard: parental affection.

Devotion is earnest, affectionate dedication and implies selflessness: teachers admired for their devotion to children.

Fondness is strong liking or affection: a fondness for small animals.

Infatuation is foolish or extravagant attraction, often of short duration: lovers blinded to their differences by their mutual infatuation.

Im quite fond of my bird. I am devoted to young people, and feel a bit of affection towards some of them, although I stop short of infatuation. Infatuation is the love I feel for my computer and my virtual interactions with forums like this one and topics such as these! I definitely love my Mother and I am commanded to Love
God with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength...although for the life of me I need His help to do so!
