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?

i want to believe in love. i really do. but im going to be cynical about this, cuz im in a pretty bad mood.

Love is caused by hormones. its as simple as that. the reason we feel attracted to someone, is because humans want to separate themselves from the rest of the animal kingdom, by believing that their purpose is not just to reproduce and die. which it is. but because we have free will, we assume that there must be some reason why..so we believe that we were meant to be with someone. i guess the people that believe in love believe in religion...to believe that some higher power has destined u to be with someone...which i would reply to with basically the same thing


and no, i really dont say this all the time. im just really pissed off.
