Would a kitten "play" without feeling happy which is an expression of love?
Petal don't open to receive the comfort of sunlight or rather open up for insects only when it is sunny?
What motivation would anything have to live by without this feeling of Love?
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.
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?
Oh dear, you are a silly one!
Read my first post on this thread, and the mystery of animal love will be clarified for you.
It isn't exactly play, when it comes to the kitten. It is honing skills that are absolutely vital for their survival later in their life.
Flowers are merely the reproductive organ of plants, it would be just as comforting for a man to expose his cock to the sun as it is for flowers to do so.
These chemicals do not mimic the feeling, they are the reason we feel. And yes, I call the love for a child chemical, but it doesn't make the feeling any less real. Again, read my first post and hopefully you'll be a bit enlighted.
And by the way, elephants do try and get their dying to walk with them, and almost all mothers grieve dead offspring, but they do not stay behind and die with their young..
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
