Introduction
When you think about love what do you think about? We as humans often think of “love” basically as the core of understanding romance, but that is not the whole entire thing, well the most accurate picture. So what is love? The answer to the question is that some people may seek a philosophical and/or spiritual answer. Love is not a material or a design. It is basically a word that we use to sugar coat over various, complex, and also chaotic, realities of our human relationship. Instead of asking “what is love” you should ask “what is going on in the body, when people feel strongly towards one another, and why are these feelings so powerful.
Falling in love
People can fall in love over a period of time, but most of it develops quickly. It is called falling in love because it is beyond our control, just like when we trip and fall. Imaging you are walking alone down the street, and nothing was out the ordinary and suddenly he/she came out from a nearby coffee shop and it came to reality that you fell in love at first sight. Then all of a sudden you will be like. Huh! What just happened?!! The answer to the questions is quite simple, it all has to do with the mind and how it works. It kind of works as if, let’s say your single then your mind will be on the haunt for the long life partner. It also goes for when you think that you do not care about relationships. You will eventually fall in love with the other person all because they fit your criteria. Criteria is basically a check list for us to use to determine the type of person we like to date or spend the rest of life with. It’s as if there is a hypnotic charm or magnetic attraction to the other human being. I bet you are wondering what it takes to fall in love. To be honest it really does not take much for you to fall in love. Let me give you an example on what I am talking about. Say a man goes to a party and immediately noticed a woman at the other end of the room. She is dressed
