The Science of Falling in Love

No one can fall in love if he is even partially satisfied with what he has or who he is. The experience of falling in love originates in an extreme depression, an inability to find something that has value in everyday life. The symptom of the inclination to fall in love is not the intense desire to enrich our lives, rather, the profound sense of being worthless and of having nothing that is valuable and the shame of not having it.

And so because of this reason, falling in love occurs more frequently among young people, since they are profoundly uncertain, unsure of their worth, and often ashamed of themselves. The same thing applies to people of other ages when they lose something in their lives, when their youth ends or when they start to grow old.
