Chemical reactions.

So you don't find it in the least bit strange that these chemicals even exist?
Isn't it weird that these assisting chemicals mimic unreasonable behavior perfectly?

Would you call the love for your child a mere chemical reaction?

Here is a chemical reaction:
Migrating elephants combing the land for water and food.
The baby elephant collapses of exhaustion and the mother is devastated.
The mother is in tears and stays behind with her baby to die with him.

Here is another example of mere chemicals:

So life is nothing more than a chemical which mimics care for another which in turn celebrates life?
Hmm. Chemical reactions that celebrates life with care but is false by it not being real love.

Do you need eyes to see or do they assist you?
