What causes you to love?

Question

Is it everything that you feel? Or is it something that you long for?

Answer 1

I just figure that unselfish love does more good for the world than hate.

Answer 2

What causes me to love is a worm that has somehow found its way into my brain and eats holes through it.  

Answer 3

No one can control the feeling of one being in love. One must understand and internalize deeply the true meaning of love before one opens his or her heart into it…for love is a feeling that requires serious concentration and analysis by lovers in order for them to have deeper attachment to one another….

Answer 4

Love is an emotion.  You feel it.  

Answer 5

its a feeling..when im with a woman,and she comes over. if she gets down on the floor and plays with my cat, she is real..

if you go on a bike ride, and she talks about nature , she is a goddess..these are the things she sees...if shes in touch, im in love..

Answer 6

Both.

It is the total acceptance of an object in it's entire essence without wanting to change or alter that essence. What causes this?

As in chemistry, we respond favorably to that which is beneficial to our essence.

Answer 7

I agree it's something you long for. In Fairy tales, love is found because the princesses wait for their handsome prince to sweep them off their feet. Everything else you feel (other emotions) somehow relate to love, but are also capable of existing independently.  

Answer 8

your mind causes you to feel the way you do by releasing different chemicals into you, what these chemicals are i haven't the slightest clue or why your brain releases them only from certain things or why they make you feel the way you do

I guess you just know, im only 17 so im pretty sure i havent loved but ive still had strong feelings for people and you just know

Answer 9

chemical reactions in your brain

Answer 10

Love is a Cause itself. It offers you to be it or to be an effect of it...Speaking of a cause and effect...Why we choose being an effect?

Answer 11

Love is a socially imposed, institutionalization of our natural and short lived instinct to seek a connection with another.  But it is really neat.  I've done it three times.  Once very successfully for 24 years.  The first time was a lucrative, mutually enjoyable partnership of entrepreneurship/s*x.  The last was a nightmare, but memorable none-the-less.
