love, scientific or a feeling? Options

[xlauren73x]

Okay so i searched the forum for a topic like this, and there was one about if you learn to love or what not, but this is a little different. And Yes I did see that they closed the last one because it really is an opinionated debate, but that's what i want.. everyones opinions. So i do apoligize if people think this topic wasn't necessary.

Anyways, my friends and I always get into these great deep conversations about things [a lot turn into debates.. because we're all so different and have different opinions]. One night somehow we got into a topic on Love, and if it is scientific, or a feeling that one feels. I said it's a feeling, not something scientific. There are parts of love that are such as sexual attraction, but i think that when you only have sexual attraction that is lust, not love. My friend said he thinks its all scientific, caused by hormones and such. I agreed that parts of it is hormones, but true love is a feeling that hormones alone cannot cause. What do you all think?

Love is an emotion, but all emotions, thoughts, and feelings can be broken down into complicated electrochemical reactions in the brain.

.. pwn't.

Anyway, my take on it: love. It's defined differently by every person, so there isn't a universal definition other than it's an emotion. Since it's unique to each person, I'd have to say it's not so-much scientific, but rather personally based on experience. It's an emotion - but there are so many different aspects of it, I can't even begin to list them.

Since love is defined differently for every person, it's possible that some love is all hormones. But to others, such as myself, I do agree that only parts of love is caused by hormonal rages - but the physical/sexual attraction, etc., isn't all lust. Physical attraction is part of love - appreciation for your partner's beauty - and sometimes, the physical attraction is there because of love. Sexual attraction isn't always lust either; I mean, wouldn't you want to fully share yourself with your lover?

Um. I don't know how to finish this. :[
