Question

Please discuss the main point of this paragraph…

Our body reacts to love like it would act to drugs. We start the drug, and the high is so great and so amazing. Everything is happiness and laughter and it seems like nothing could ruin it. Until the drugs wear off, and the come down hits. Your body misses the drug, it had became dependent and now you feel depressed. You feel as if without the drug you can't be happy. This is because of the chemicals released in your brain, the same chemicals released when your in love. We talk and think about love like it's all natural perfection, and it's always happiness surrounding it. People look for love, like addicts look for drugs. Catron suggests instead of looking for love, we make it, like art instead of drugs. We should demand love that we want, and not something piled on us without consent. We should understand that yes, love is nice, but is this specific love, the love for me? As amazing as creating my dream love sounds, I do believe it would be difficult. People say that love is blinding, and because of the physiological changes I believe it really is, and demanding the ideal love we want would be difficult. With these changes in our brain, I believe we think that the non consensual love is the love we demand, even if the lows are way worse than the highs.

Answer 1

Love is a feeling that’s caused by the release of certain chemical components in the brain but in order for the brain to release these chemicals to activate the love feeling, one should have enough exterior stimuli that would motivate and encourage one to be in love. People are the products of their environment and they are social animals who would always look for some social connection. While all the other relationships occur through one’s relationships in the family, friends and workplace, intimate love feeling would occur only with someone special. Thus, while some look for just physical pleasure, most of the people would like to create an emotional bond which would make them better people. When people are in love, they would learn to live their life with happiness and satisfaction. Non-consensual love and marriage may not contribute to one’s happiness but would only cause more damage.
