Yes, Love Can Be Measured, and This Is How
Leave it to neuroscientists to quantify the unquantifiable
Scientists at Stanford University ran a Love Competition.
The winner would be the one who loves most… with their brain.
Around the world, across cultures, in every language, on every continent, people love. Anthropologists have never found a society that did not have love.
We wrote it, watched it, sang it, acted it. We lived for it, died for it, killed for it, cried for it.
Romantic love is one of the most — if not the most — powerful feelings on earth.
“To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life.” ― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
I like to believe in love as cosmically pure and beyond our reach, a personal and all-consuming experience. Something different from person to person, unique and indescribable.
I believe we love from our hearts; we love from our souls; we love from all our being. We find the other person and recognize in them everything we ever wanted.
