And yet all can be induced without any danger present, it is not the actual danger that causes the reactions, but a combination of external stimuli. Also, reactions are not the same for each individual person. Some people don't get vertigo, some people are afraid when others are not. Nothing is unexplainable, it is merely beyond our vocabulary of the moment. I'd believe that love is exactly the same as your explanation of fight or flight, the brain judging a situation below the "conscious" level.Angryman101 said:
Love is the burning fire in my heart.
I loved a girl so much I married her. I married her for the hell of it, because even though I didn't need to, I wanted to spend my life with this lady. Then again, I guess you'd call that a need.

Love.. Love is knowing that someone else has your back all the time, even if todays events tear you apart and that at the end of the day you can still say that you genuinely savor every moment of the other person's company. Too bad we rarely experience love outside of family.
Im in love right now, and its as my friends describe it a romeo and juliet type. Me and this girl love eachother, we both know it. I went on 1 date with her and then her mother split us up. That was 5 months ago, we always talk when we can and we've talked about everything, i really dont know how to describe love. But we just can't be together, no matter how hard i try. But i feel we'll be together soon.
Love is a funny thing.
The way that I see it, there are two types of love: First, there's the sort of love you feel for friends and people who you're comfortable and happy around. A sort of platonic love that could blossom into romantic love if nurtured and, if not, still keeps everyone happy. Then there's the other kind of Love. The Love where you would not wish it on your worst enemy because it hurts you so much but cannot help but hope for your best friend to experience it because it's the greatest feeling in the world. The Love that strikes you from out of nowhere, that leaves you dumb and blind and insensate and uncaring of all things other than the object of that Love. It stays with you forever, regardless of what happens between you and your Lover. There will still, always, be that spark between the two of you and nothing that can be done will quash it.
There are plenty of people, men and women both, that I love, and it's a sort of thing where both of us realize that we're in the sort of relationship where that wonderful platonic love is all we need. We can be happy and comfortable with each other and that is all.
Insofar as the other Love is concerned, though, there have only been two women I've felt that for and I tell you, it is a terrible and awe-inspiring thing. You feel your heart and soul soar when you're with them and feel your very being disintegrate when you leave them. Your heart, as mighty and stout as it may be, is laid bare to any depredation or predation that could be conceived, and it is laid bare willingly. It can be left in tatters and ruins, but you still Love them because, well, you Love them.
And that is what I have to say about Love.

I don't really care about love. Almost every time it just leaves you feeling terrible. Maybe I'm just going through a phase.
I am in love right now and it's a great feeling. <3 Especially since it's real love, not that childish puppy love crap. We know eachother on a deep and personal level, delved into eachothers minds and just fell in love with eachothers personality. =] Wouldn't trade Tom for the world. <3 I love him soo much! ^.^
Okay, fine. Love is a transcendent feeling only humans have, with flowers, rainbows and pure happiness.Angryman101 said:
Get real. Love is a combination of hormones and human restraint. Like someone else said, what triggers all emotions? Fear occurs when your eyes see something scary, which your brain interprets as a danger too big to face. Or when you hear something that might endanger your life. Sometimes, when people are sick, they fear for their lives, because they are uncertain if they'll make it. So even the feeling of being uncertain can result in fear.
Same with love. You see someone you find appealing, you enjoy the sound of his/her voice, your body is telling you that's the perfect partner (at least, till you find someone better/chemicals wear off), but since we're human and we can't just hump anyone we like (like animals do it), we try subconsciously to resist those primal urges. If someone doesn't make it, well... that's why there are rapists still present in the world.
Yeah, actually, it is something only humans have. I don't really see any dogs bringing flowers and chocolates to their little doggie lovers, now, do you?Abedeus said:
The human brain is an incredibly complex thing and I seriously doubt you have any kind of authority on the subject, so I would stop sounding so very high and mighty.
What you're saying is completely contradictory to what you were saying earlier. First it was just hormones, now it's the human subconscious trying to stop itself from fucking everything that moves?
The hormones that are released that form love are different from those from blind lust, which is what you're describing here. What I'm asking is at what exactly triggers the different hormones to be released? Why does it take so much longer for them to be released? Why is it different for each person?
What external stimuli makes your brain switch from lust to love, though? What is it, exactly, that changes? The stimuli are all the same, they still smell the same, look the same, talk the same. They're not expecting children, so there's no reason for you to stick around. What is it in us that triggers the production of the hormones that make us feel love? It's not like we have a switch inside us that suddenly goes, oops, time for love, baby!Generic_Dave said:
I'm not saying that you're wrong any more than I'm saying I'm right, you could be totally cool and awesome and I'm just making a fool of myself, but there's so much about the human brain that we just don't know that it's totally possible that it's something more than just base hormones, that it's our higher-levels of brainpower that are enabling a more abstract connection to the people around us.
Love i believe is confusing, and often confused with lust, excitement, or passion. They can all be effect but often times no. I think thats something everyone has to learn for themselves. I have a gal on my mind, all the time... and she is the same. However, i think we both, well, i dont know.
You know what, lets just chalk it up to, life is confusing, and difficult and full of misfortune. At the end of the day you have to decide to do whats right, and even if that is hard to do... its still right, and that is love.
I guess theres all kinds of love. Figure it out yourself because im still confused.

Well I'm glad I could Help. And It is me. Remember. I love you and Everyone. xAura Guardian said:
