Love?

Alright, so I realised that my blog has been quite shallow lately, so I have decided to (finally) share my opinions on 'love'.

What got me thinking about this.. phenomenon, aka, emotion, was actually an excercise my church did. One fine Sunday in our groups, they asked me, "Why do we love our parents?"
At that time I answered, "because that's only natural".

Right now I still stand by my view. We can't help but 'love' our family, because of all the time that we are forced to spend together.

Sure, there are some children in the world that hate their parents, or foster parents. But I think that it's because they don't actually spend much time together.
If they actually took maybe, 30 mins each day just being in the same room, over some time, those 30 mins would have accumulated to a lot.
That accumulated time would have evoked some emotion, surely. And, unless you spend every single second fighting them or killing them in your head, I bet the 'emotions' would be close to love. Or rather, 'care'.

And this is how I came to the big question: 'Is love real?'

They say that in heaven, there is nothing but joy and love. However, this is a different love.
Love between a man and a woman will, always will, have a certain degreee of lust.
And since lust is one of the seven deadliest sins, I think it is safe to say that there is not lust in heaven.
In other words, the love between a man and a woman does not exist in heaven.
I think the love there is just like how you love your family, your friends, how you love your God.

Some scientists say that love is caused by hormones.
My definition of 'love' is that you want to see that person, you care for that person, and you depend and trust that person.
So what actually makes you have these kind of feelings? Ans: hormones.
Oxytocin is also known as the love hormone. (Click to chech out Wiki.)
It causes the symptoms of 'love', and defines what is known as 'chemistry' between two people.
The higher the level of oxytocin a person evokes in you, the more attracted you are to that person and vice versa.

With all that being said, I'm not trying to make people not believe in love. Rather, I'm just giving a few seemingly reasonable thoughts as to 'love' from a more scientific point of view.

...which is how I can to the following conclusion:

How To Make People Love You

1. Keep annoying them. Persist even if they constantly push you away. Do not go overboard and stalk them though. Be nice. Over time, they will eventually start to care for you even if they don't like it.

2. Keep staring into the other person's eyes. For some unknown reason, eye-to-eye contact stimulates release of hormone Oxytocin.

3.
4.
5.

. Don't cheat, don't lie, don't fake.... You know, normal advice.


Warning:
I'm only about 70% sure the above methods will work because I've never experimanted on myself before. They're good suggestions anyway.

Also, I can't promise what kind of love will develop.
Say you try this on a guy/girl you like. That person may just love you as a sibling or a friend.


Well tell me if they work ok? ^^
