Crazy In Love...

"At some point in life, most of us will face a major mental-health crisis. It is called love". Inasmuch as this sentence sounds very much like a signature sentence of mine, I can not take credit for it, the statement is from the 'good' folks at WSJ and Wpost.
The article reads;
Recent studies of brain scans show that being in love causeschanges in the brain that are strikingly similar to serious health problems like drug addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder. But knowing that love can make you crazy -- at least in the short term --gives us clues about how to improve relationships and rekindle the romantic love that first brought a couple together....hmm. For most people, the intensity of romantic love fades with time and is replaced by powerful
feelings of attachment.
But understanding the brain patterns of the newly
in love can teach us how to rekindle romance and boost the health of long-term relationships.
Studies show that trying something new with a spouse can go a long way toward reigniting love.
Is it true that "The pleasures of love are always in proportion to our fears," ?
Essentially these researchers claim to have found a few chemicals responsible for that 'love feeling', they also say love can not last. Aren't this folks mistaking infatuation and sexual/emotional desires for love. These ingredients are essential in a healthy relationship, however LOVE goes beyond satisfaction and utility, it extends to sacrifice and compromise. Next we will be supplied with little love tablets aka love portion. They say, they have found the source of that 'love feeling', I say I found the the source of all the problems plaguing the world. A wrong definition for the phenomenon...LOVE.
Happy Saint Valentine's day.

Hey, happy valentine's day to you man.....

laspapisaid...

lovers have traits that can be found in those with drug-related issues and obsessive compulsive disorders? That explains a lot of things.
People never seem to be in their right senses when 'in love', true.
Educative. I'll be quoting you in conversations.
