Yeah, probably.

Stupid thread, reporting. Might get moved to D&D, you'll get a reply then. :wink:

I thought it was just chemicals and hormones in the brain that stay for a few months and then die out after a while.

Like happiness and sadness I guess. Hormones affect it... no?
Doesn't make it any less meaningful though I'd have thought.

It's more a philosophical question than anything else. Probably along the lines of "do we both see the colour red as the same colour, or do we see it differently but call it red anyway?". No one can experience anyone else's experiences or opinions on love, so some people find it hard to believe that it exists... despite copious first-hand experience. :wink:

id this discussion with a friend once. we finally agreed that love and dreams are the same thing. We dream to love someone and when we love someone or something we dream about it. So in our opinion the question really is "Can dreams come true?" and i believe they can but it takes a lot of effort, which is why some people are unable to find love, but it does exist, somewhere in our sub-concious...

Love is real, as much as being happy or sad is real.

Do I need to go through how weird that is?

Define love and then argue whether or not it is real.

The chemical process is real, the feelings you get from the process are real.

If your talking about conditional love: of course it does... but as some have said it seems to die without on going sparks, be it internal or external.
As for true love, I think it does... but it has to be eternal and it todays pleasure seeking society and human nature which we are all on the leash of destroys it.

Bah yeah, people could rant at this one for hours, as could I... but thats my input for the meantime.

Theres just so many factors.

I'd say yes but it depends on your definition of love, so this is a really...odd thread.

The confusion about "what love is" comes down to human beings' obsession about naming everything. We have a label for absolutely everything, whether or not we can properly define it.

Exactly... :smile:

(Such a shame most people will ignore this post, Ywiss, but a point well made.)

is it really true feelings from within our soul or ourselves trapping us into thinking its real for a comfortable ride in life?!

Love is what you make of it, so to me yes it does exist. To others however it may not exist because they have a different perception of it.
