Although humans are social animals our society frowns on complete sincerity. So when you feel you can be 100% honest with someone and they'll still accept you, your brain goes into overdrive.

It's what I've hoped to find in my relationships after the infatuation wears away but I've discovered only regret and distaste instead.

Happy 2013.

that's a bullshit answer. He's asking you to describe the feeling, which you didn't. Saying that love is nothing but, or merely the correlate of, a neurochem. process, is like saying that OP's picture is nothing but an array of 0's and 1's (binary code).

Yeah, love has a neurochem. component, but that doesn't mean that's all it is, all we perceive or feel. Eliminativist bitches gotta read about supervenience and stop churning out those shitty arguments.

it is the ground beneath your feet and it is the sky of day and night.
it is the oceans you've never seen and the volcanoes you'll never watch kill entire villages
it is the never empty pantry and the always clean floors, it is the blood shed in distant lands and the sands that drink it
it is the rug taken beneath you you never knew was there

love is the hope of happiness
love is the fear of loss
love is the way you're expected to feel
about jesus on the cross

love is a dream of waking
love is the dread of fate
love is the seed of lust and greed,
of envy, fear and hate

love is the heart's contentment
the peace that knows no bound
to share without resentment
a depth you cannot sound

love is the orphan babe of trust
love is the mother of grief
the sigh in the night for a single light
the hunger without relief

love is the souls awakening
love is the sleep of pain
love is the cup, that the soul fills up
now, never ask again

Whenever a sentence begins, "love is..." I just know I'm about to hear some dumb bullshit.

>> No.3380794

>>3380788
see? love is all about dumb bullshit. thats sort of the point. Anytime you like anybody more than you like yourself, you start moving in the direction of dumb behaviour, even if you're not actually stupid. "Fond of" used to mean"stupid about" remember.

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Love is blind

Love is the energy rooted deep in our unconscious mind called libido.

It's a powerful energy but it's literally stupid.
