My abstract art:love #5
Are you in love?
The word love might be defined differently by many, some might even say it doesn't exist.
what do you think?,does love really exist? or is it just a word thats overrated.
what is love?
Love is involuntary. Brain science tells us it's a drive like thirst. It's a craving for a specific person. It's normal, natural to "lose control" in the early stage of romance. Love, like thirst, will make you do strange things, But knowledge is power. It's a natural addiction and treating it like an addiction can help you.
what love is and not
what love is
1 Love is awesomely natural
The brains of all higher order species seem to contain special sections and neural net circuits for processing love, special neuro-chemistry and neuro-electric activations, and other special biological phenomena all having to do with how and why we love.
2 Love is the great positive force
Philosophers, scientists, religionists of many faiths, and “the Wisdom Masters” of many ages have come to this conclusion.
3 Love is deep connection
Wherever there is healthy real love there is profound connection with
others, with self, with life, with the universe, etc.
4 Love is healing and healthful
The highly curative and revitalizing effects of healthy real love are documented throughout history, and backed by a many recent scientific discoveries about love in a wide variety of medical research fields. Likewise, the ability of love behaviors and love relationships to keep us healthy and add to our longevity is well established scientifically.
What love is not
1 Love is not a weakness
Everything the sciences are discovering about healthy real love shows it to be strengthening, healthful, and empowering. False forms of love, however, often are weakening and debilitating. There are many who have studied love who come to the conclusion that love is perhaps the most powerful force in the universe. This would make love-filled people the strongest of all people.
2 Love is not infatuation
Infatuation and its ‘cousins’ (crushes, lust, idealization, the two to four year phenomenon known as Limerance, etc.) are often confused with real healthy love. However, these tend to be filled with the false love indicators of jealousy, possessiveness, control efforts, over restrictiveness, etc. The majority of the false forms of love are largely fear-based rather than love-based, and the actions that come from them show this to be the truth. These false love forms fade away while love of the real type lasts.

4 Love is not attraction
Attraction psychologically helps us move toward others while love helps us move with them. Attraction can lead to contact from which love may later grow. Love works to maintain and expand the connection that attraction led to. However, love and attraction, although often confused, are two different things. A truth is we can come to deeply love someone to whom at first we were not attracted at all.
with all of this said, I hope you now have a clue on the true meaning of love
