Love is a thing on sale for more money than there exists.

Nice. Very nice.

all emotions are nothing more than chemical signalling devices. I am astounded that some people still take questions like this seriously

>>3148560
but....but this is the literature board.
Surely you have something interesting to say?

And, here we go. Another completely unrelated emotion-based thread. This is a literature board, not some board where idiots can brag about indulging to their whims.

I can't tell you. You'll have to buy the book.

I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS!
I WANT YOU TO SHOW ME!
I WANNA FEEL WHAT LOVE IS!
I KNOW YOU CAN SHOW ME!
Aaaah woah-oh-ooh

By love you mean big lightning bolts to the heart, where you can't eat and you can't work, and you just run off and get married and make babies. The reason you haven't felt is because it doesn't exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me...to sell nylons.

i feel like you're this character in a sitcom, the grouchy one who looks up at the camera from his newspaper goes, "here we go again" and sighs.

then, into his newspaper, "this is a literature board, not some X where Y..." and then is silent for the remainder of the show.

I almost feel like going "here we go again" to your "here we go again" 's ya dig?

deadly mix of attraction, attachment and lust for biological purposes. get married get a house make babies make babies make babies. intense romantic love fades with possession of that person and grows with not having them. feels real and feels meaningful and humans seek the fuck out of meaning which is why everyone values it so much. to be without it can feel pretty awful.

"Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species. - W. Somerset Maugham "

>get married get a house make babies

“Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?”

Yeah, hail to the robot super human beings from the future, who came to clinically observe the mass of deviants weak enough to feel and ask questions about it. As if literature has anything to do with emotions at all! Inb4 butthurt and female.

You dumb fuck. Nobody is saying you don't feel emotions.

To the question what is love, you can have two answers:

1. Love is snuggling in bed on a winters morning, cocooned by the warmth of your bodies. Love is special like a snowflake on the eyelash of a deer..
2. Love is an emotion caused by a collection of neurological functions. Love is a chemical response that psychologists think is related to the biological imperative to mate.

Love is like falling asleep.

retarded buzzword
just like happiness

low iq monkeys confuse thought abbreviations for actual concepts
it's been going on since the dawn of man

when we explain rain by science, even though I know it is water falling down, I still feel the same emotions when it rains. It is the same for love. It is chemical but it doesn't change how I feel about my crush.

I'll tell you what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter - as some vengeful, batty old woman undergoing menopause did.

What is love? Oh baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more

>how do i post on le 4chan

I don't know what love is.
I'm obsessed with a fictional character and I just want everybody to be happy.
That's about as close to love as I'll get, probably,

>>3148745
How do you do the strike?

Never mind, I think I found out. Magic.

>>3148775
Did I get it now?

>>3148767
I feel you.
