"Now those Greeks knew a thing or two, and I find it hard to believe that they would have devoted so much effort to something phoney."
(Enters sarcasim) Uhhh, yeah the Greek Gods really had a reality based paradigm. The majority of people follow the most popular ideology within their generation, but it doesn't make it correct. The old question our parents threw in our face was quite ironic (would you jump off a bridge if your best friend did?) in that they expected us to follow society's beliefs and laws blindly without question. Why is evolution taught in schools as scientific fact and nothing else to counter balence that? Science infiltrates children's belief system and says if we don't believe them then we must be mentally challenged.
The only thing I ment by saying I don't believe in love was that I don't agree with your definition of love. Love exists - but it isn't the same for everyone. Therefore, if love varies from one to another there can't be a tangable certainty of it being a real state of mind.
Yes, love is an emotion. Pain is not an emotion. Yes, love is real - but it is only real in the sense that sadness is real. Chemicals in the brain are trained based on your life experience. Between infancy and 3yrs you were fed, changed, bathed, cuddled, yelled at, spanked, punished, rewarded, etc. Those events shaped how your chemical make-up in your brain react today. When you laughed, when you were excited, when you walked all for the first time the pleasentness or unpleasentness of the event instilled a trigger - now today those triggers are where your emotions come from.
