I think the word LOVE, is the most over used word in the dictionary.
But what is " LOVE" ?

love for a person is like magic, it has that person appear in an aura of perfection. and will numb you to any pain:
When I was 16 and hopelessly in a committed love , I had a serious internal injury, in excruiating pain, and waiting to be carried away. but lo and behold Miss Perfect arrived with the next train. Suddenly my severe pain VANISHED. we walked home (girl next door). I did not get up again for another 2 month, most of the time in a no 8 pain. Hormones of the best kind.and
Romance has only a hidden, final component in sex.

Google (and read the scientific research) oxytocin
Better still, read through these collected summaries of research, on Science Daily:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/search/?keyword=oxytocin
I often ask myself a question, could we 'feel love' without oxytocin?

fulltimestudent...i read the link, and i feel it no more explained love than my answer:-
Oh it's an easy cheap answer to say "i LOVE my son." But that feeling of if anything bad were to happen. Is love s feeling of security?
No i fell in love when i was a child. I received Valantine cards from girls that had never spoken to me. That i call infatuation.
Is romantic love simply infatuation.
What is this " bond" my son and i share. i understand it but can' explain it, except with a word.And that word is " love"
But what love is i really can't qualify.

Ask another question.
What happened to your oxytocin levels when your son was born?

Love is the feeling you get when you like someone nearly as much as your bike.

So true love is just a fantazy and nothing but " oxytocin".
That makes love seem nothing more than power, or bribary?
Is that why love is so " flip flop"? And i love her really means, " you really dont understand love at all"?

Or is Love just poetic and tragic? ( we all love Romeo and Juliet)
