What is love? Not just the emotion and feelings a person feels, but what exactly they are. Is it just a feeling in the heart of a human being? Does love also come from the heart or is it a chemical reaction in the brain that makes the lover think this? When it comes to love there are so many questions you can ask, but why is love important? With a better understanding of love, those who participate in love are better equipped to handle everything that comes with it. With this better understanding a person will be able to love others, himself and the world in which he lives. Opening your heart to love is not something to be afraid of, but something to embrace, and it should be the easiest thing to do. In other words, love will help you survive. The love we talk about today is not a physical love, even if this article does not completely exclude it. What we will talk about today is the triangle that makes up love; passion, intimacy and commitment. Passion is the feeling when you do any action for that special person without thinking twice. When a lover will put love before self in life. Commitment is what some would be most common with, and that is knowing whatever you would say to your love that they mean. The lover is sincere, honest and open to that person with all his secrets because he trusts him. Finally, there is intimacy, and this is best described as when you are vulnerable and let your guard down towards a person. It is also when you are curious about that special individual. It's when you want to know everything there is to know about them because you care about them and want them to be safe with every being around said lover. When one wraps up all these things to collect them in the love cocktail,... middle of paper... yes, but he still doesn't understand it at all. Love is not a science. Love is right, love, but there's nothing to be afraid of. Works Cited Fogel, Alan, Dr. “Emotional and Physical Pain Activate Similar Brain Regions.” PsychologyToday. Body Sense, 19 April 2012.
