This is the chemical formula for love:

C8H11NO2+C10H12N2O+C43H66N12O12S2
dopamine, seratonin, oxytocin.

It can be easily manufactured in a lab, but overdosing on any of them can cause schizophrenia, extreme paranoia, and insanity.

Let that sink in.

Yeah, but how does the feeling of love arise from those chemicals?

The hippocampus sends out a signal to the glands to release them in the intended ratio.

You explained the function, but not why the function would cause the feeling of love.

No, kid. It's a complex network that uses arbitrary chemicals as intermediates in ways that we don't even fully understand.
