What is love?

What is love? Is it an urge, emotion or a reaction of the chemicals in the brain? Or is it something entirely different?

For centuries we have struggled to find the answer to this question and are still in the pursuit. Countless plays, poems, and movies have tried to explain the topic and went in vain. But what we know is that powerful enough to make us create new life or destroy it.

Ancient Greeks referred to love as the “madness of the gods,” while modern psychologists explain it as a strong desire for an emotional union with someone. Whatever it may be, what we do know is that love is a force of nature, and no matter how much we wish and try, we can never command or dictate the feeling.

Once it has taken over the control of our senses, all we can do is surrender to it. Our hold over it is just as much as we have on the moon and the stars. Love is also involuntary and drives people like thirst.
