Because children are becoming the only one's capable of hope and innocence in this world. If we told them that love came from swirling chemicals in our brain when we find another person attractive in some manner, that innocence wouldn't really be.. as innocent. And taint all the innocent children, we'd end up with a mass ammount of bitter teens and adults, with even less of a chance of making the world better. Love is easier for a child to comprehend too, hence most fairy tales deal with love and not life and death as a main plot.
Not to mention, not just society tells children, but in fairy tales that adult's have either lost hope for or found irrationality in believing that "fairy tales do come true". A 5 year old may have all the hopes and dreams in the world to find love in the manner that cinderella did, where as a 25 year old wouldn't really count on it.
Well then, you're delusional.
Yes, you have and they're not equal to mine. We'll let an arbitrary set of beliefs decide which one's is more correct. Or we could have a proven system like the scientific method decide. But you know me, I'm just a crazy science person who doesn't believe in the power of love!Anyway, im gonna stop posting in this thread. Coz i have expressed my views.
I remember in 1st Grade my teacher asked our class, "What is love?" as it was close to Valentine's Day. Other than similies that compared love to warmth, hugs, and similar themes... no one could answer. The question was reversed shortly after. Caught off guard, the teacher couldn't give us a clear answer in return.
Even as adults we still see movies of hopeless romance where love conquers all. Romantic interests are found in all sorts of media and the majority of audiences are fully engrossed. Are these fleeting memories of our childhood dreams we're still clinging on to or do most of us still believe in the fantasies secretly?
I'm willing to believe in the 'magic' of love. After all, its far more interesting than not, in my eyes.
Damnit Big D! You ruined the pissing contest!
It was fun while it lasted. Reading Yams when he's all stressed up is better than porn.
I'm not and was not stressed during the course of the discussion.
Shut up and kiss me.
There is no signature here. Move along.
Love isn't just an emotion. Sure, it's part of it, but if what you feel toward another person is as fleeting as anger, sadness, excitement, etc, then it's not love. Love is commitment. Love grows, matures, ages.
And you have to be in a certain kind of relationship in order to be in love. Which is why I don't believe in "love at first sight" and I don't believe people can be in love with people they don't have a personal connection to, IE: people claiming to be literally be IN LOVE with celebrities. If you claim to be in love with someone after a few dates, and then a week or so later, you're just not interested anymore, then you were never in love to begin with.
Love is something that comes after "attraction" "lust" "like" "enjoy". You take all those other emotions, and then add in time and devotion and you're closer to what love really is.
Love isn't just hormones or chemicals or whatever rushing to the brain. That's part of what it feels like to be in love. But it's not just a sudden wave of chemicals, and bam! You're in love.
You don't FALL in love, you learn to love. It's a process that goes beyond just the physiological aspects of attraction. And love is different from other emotions, because it's much more constant. Every minute, of every day, I am in love with my boyfriend. It doesn't ever STOP. It's not like anger that subsides, or laughter that fades. Those kinds of stuff is much much MUCH more fleeting.
Not to say that love doesn't eventually subside, but it's not on the same level as other emotions. Because like I said, it's much more than an emotion.
No, it's not mystical or divine or magical. But love is extraordinary. Think about it. If you find someone who can make you laugh when you're feeling like complete, who can know what you're thinking without you saying a word, who you can give yourself to fully, think how absolutely stunning that is. It's precious. If you find it, you should hold on to it as long as you can. And if you lose it, try your hardest to find it again.
Love is a choice, and it's a really beautiful one.
Quin is love.
Nonono, Miriel is 'cause she's right on the dot o.oQuin is love.
*blown away by her amazingly accurate post*
It's not magic, though. Proteins and psychological conditioning based on the need for companionship.
i agree with miriel.. which is normal.. because she is mighty smart
Either Yams is bitter or he has yet to experience such wonderfulness. That's all I can figure *Shrugs*
It may not be magic to those who think more with logic, but that's fine. What gets me is you feel the need to press your opinion so strongly onto us.
