Well I do not believe in love simply because i do not think humans CAN love.
I believe that love can exist, just humans do not have the capacity to love.
My definition of love would be a complete trust of someone. Where you accept someone fully, and do not judge them in any way.
Dr. Seus's definition is "When you don't want to sleep because reality is better than your dreams"
And most peoples definition is along the lines of "When you get butterflies in your stomach every time you talk to the person"
We will start with the butterflies.
"Here is what I have learned about this "feeling" which can be so confused a "love" especially during dating!
When you get nervous or scared, your body gives you a shot of energy in the form of a naturally derived hormone (epinephrine = adrenaline) which is secreted from the adrenal glands. This process is a part of the sympathetic nervous system that all mammals . In situations of high stress, epinephrine is secreted in order to help the individual cope with the stress; physiologically, it allows the individual to increase his/her heart rate, which in turn, increases the rate of glycogenalysis, creating more energy and allowing the individual to run faster, jump higher, and perform better. In other words, it has to do with an automatic reaction of neurotransmitters that manifests in your stomach.
The increase in heart rate, due to the stressful situation, is also commonly known as "nervousness". This nervousness can manifests into many symptoms including the "butterfly" feeling in the stomach. The related biological term is called "fight or flight", which is what you do to make the stressful situation go away....you either deal with it (fight) or get away from it (flight)." -Coach Virginia
Next, we will go with mine.
If you have ever looked at somebody, you have judged them. If you think someone is attractive, you judge them as well as if you think they are not. Our brain automatically judges people, and keeps that impression. This is why first impressions are so important. Because the mind practically takes a picture of your personality and appearance and stores it in your psyche. To fully accept someone, you cannot judge them. To not judge them, you would have to become a mindless zombie. And seeing as you are all smart individuals, i do not believe that is possible.
Last is Dr. Seus's theory.
Simply dis-proven by if you like to dream, your not in love. If you like to sleep, or the benefits of sleep, you are also not in love.
Granted, you may think you can judge someone and fully accept and appreciate them. To do that, you can not judge anybody else. If you stand beside to Taylor laughtner, wont your girl wish you were more built? Won't she tell you to work out more or get a tan, or something to the effect? or do you think that she will find you way more attractive and him ugly. If you do believe that, think about standing beside EVERY other male in the world. Are you still more attractive? What about in 20 years? The answer being no, because there is always someone better.
This is just my opinion. I am not trying to induce anger or any other emotion, this is just my opinion. I am open to discussion.
Please no flaming
