I was just expecting a spark to ignite ma blog once again after a long break and it can’t be better than LOVE the universal emotion !
Well what can i say about love? There are many ways to think or feel about love. People also express their love or feelings in many different ways! But what’s so ever love could be of two basis
• Chemical basis
• Psychological basis
Chemical basis:
Biological models of sex tend to view love as mammalian drive, much like hunger or thirst. Researchers divide the experience of love into three partly overlapping stages namely lust, attraction, and attachment.
Lust exposes people to others. It involves the increased release of chemicals such as testosterone and estrogen. These effects rarely last more than a few week or months. Attraction is the more individualized and romantic desire for a specific candidate, which develops out of lust as commitment to an individual. It involves the release of chemicals such as pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin, which stimulate the brain’s pleasure center leading to effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and intense feeling of excitement. This stage lasts from one and half to three years. Since lust and attraction are both considered temporary, the next level is needed to account for long-term relationships. Attachment is the bonding that promotes relationships lasting for many years. It is linked to higher levels of chemicals like oxytocin and vasopressin.
Psychological basis:
Psychology depicts love as a cognitive and social phenomenon. Psychologist argue that love has three different components namely intimacy, commitment, and passion.
Intimacy is a form in which two people share confidences and various details of their personal lives, and is usually shown in friendships and love affairs. Commitment, on the other hand is the expectation that the relationship is permanent. Last part is passion. Passionate love is shown in romantic love as well as infatuation.
All forms of love are viewed as varying combinations of these three components.
True factor?
Biological models of love tend to see it as a mammalian drive. Psychology sees love as more of a social n cultural phenomenon. There are probably elements of truth in both views.
Certainly love is influenced by hormones, but how people think n behave in love is influenced by their conceptions of love.
My take on love:
I would say I’ve been in love at least once but maybe not. Maybe I’m not old enough to know what it is, maybe I am. My point is that it is a confusing thing.
You always wonder if the other person likes or loves you. If they do, they would understand or do this or that and show you how they feel about you . Truth is though that love means different things for different people. I think love is knowing that no matter what, you’d do anything for the other person because they make you so happy n so wonderful that it’s the greatest feeling you’ve ever had! It is so important to you that you can’t think about anything else, and it becomes a natural thing to love that person. I think that is what love is, but the description of love is different for all of us. Some of us experience true, great love only once, and for others many times.
No matter what though we must keep in mind that love is very powerful, important, usually wonderful thing. People always have and always will have different opinions on what love is and how it should be shown, and what should be acceptable and what not acceptable. You just have to do what feels right to you and follow heart when it comes to love, no one can tell you, you are not in love or you are in love, you have to know what is right for you.
I believe that no matter how you express love or what you understand about love that when you find it you know its love, and that its right. I believe that if you find true love it is important to cherish it, embrace it and remember it. Sometimes you must let go love for whatever reasons and it may be the hardest thing to do, but just remember the good times and what you learned from that person and they will always be in your heart. Love is a great thing whether we understand it, know how it feels, or not.
