RE: Get to know your feelings: infatuation VS love
I agree with you that love often develops from infatuation. I also believe that we can be highly attracted by a person and enjoy spending time and having contact with him/her even if we are not infatuated. I like your definition of love, thank you! : )
I think that infatuation comes with modern western concept of a fairy-tale romance. And I also think that it is the healthiest way to feel so good and excited like on drugs :D!
Probably the fairy-tale romance concept does boost infatuation in a way.
But I would not limit it to the west; sure, Disney was the master of this, but today, for example, Japanese movies and animated movies are quite romantic and nostalgic in an idealistic way, I would say much more than the western ones.
I'm not an expert on the topic on drugs, but I'll trust you on your word. :D
Yes you are totally right.
