Love is an unbreakable bond . It's when living energy systems synchronize in harmony and fuse into a whole.
(oh i know i'm sounding mystical now)
For the furtherance of life. Yes, life propagates itself through lust, but sustains itself through love.
Humans have the highest capacity for love, but also for psychopathic barbarism.
A reversion to the primordial 'lizard-brain-dominant mode.
(oh let me get to the sciency part)
We have roughly three centers in the brain, the limbic(reptiles; predatory) midbrain (mammals; social) the cortex (primates;analytical), all built on top of each other.
Which centers dominate our consciousness, the balance, influences our individual character.
Our capacity to love depends on our wiring, and configuration. its vastly complex.
(well thats my take on it)
If you love somebody you will treat them as part of yourself. if they suffer, you feel low, if they die, a part of you dies.
Conversely if they beam with delight and joy, you will feel it also. love is beginning to sound alot like empathy.
It keeps the world sane, saves it from destruction. or the world would collapse in on itself in chaos.
(maybe that sounds dramatic )
I think love is a necessary ingredient for our survival.
Its well observed, that love in early life (mother-infant) is crucial for healthy personality development.
Those small acts of human kindness definitely add up in society. love is holding tings together.
(oh i know that s a romantically rosy view of things)
Maybe you think its greed, lust, ambition, something more primitive, really responsible for holding things together. I'm not sure about that, thats shortsighted.
Yeah those are powerful forces and drives in all of us, but they often tear things apart, than hold things together.
(I'm sure somebody has more jaded outlook, and would like to shoot me down on these points, you are welcome to do that lol)
