Is love a sum of our biological makeup [basically chemical rxns]?
The interesting thing I've always noted is that although everything else fades. Love never does. A couple will get married at 20 and live together for 60 years and die at 80 - basically withered away - but their love remains strong. Their minds themselves deteriorate. But love does not faulter. Why? What makes love so lasting?
 
Those who haven't really experienced it will probably mention chocolate and say it is merely chemical activity. Tjhe purely physical view of human personality reduces us to automatons, however, walking combinations of chemical reactions and basic physical responses. I disagree with the idea. I think there is more to us than that.
 
My mistake...

O.k. my mistake. I should've actually asked what is the nature of love. What causes it? - like what causes snow to fall.
Now I will agree with Adam when he states there seems to be more to us than that [walking test tubes] - due to the fact that love endures while every other physical aspect deteriorates.

Love, the greatest emotion an ordinary man can expirience.

In theory, love starts with release of certain chemicals which in turn alter your mind into this dream kind of happy state.

For the past years many morons tried to prove that love is just "chemicals" which last 2 years max and then other forms of friendship develop. Chimicals thats right but chemicals isnt what love is. All what chemicals do is transform your mind. Just like drugs. Love is much much more. Its a euphoria, its energy. Every emotion is a motion.
 
mayve the first step of love is chemical (or lust)...and after a while the neuronal patterns start rearranging so that you have 'love' feelings for certain people that are not dependent on chemicals anymore...

but then again...i certainly don't know anything about what I just said...
