Could you point me to your evidence that Love is merely a chemical reaction, and nothing more?
For example, consider two lovers. Place one at either side of the universe. No communication possible. Chemical, digital or otherwise. Would they still love? Consider the people you love. Can you feel them, right now? Consider the dead you have loved. Are they within you still, or not at all?
I saw a programme where (yes I mean Stephen) Hawking was discussing his quest for knowledge beyond the event horizon. He said ''We seek to know the mind of God.''
Nowhere in his calculations was the person behind him, whose Love allows him to dream.
Dismiss Love as just chemicals if you like. As far as I'm concerned, the whole of the universe is merely the setting for Love, of one kind or another, to Be. That's why it's so vast, cold, uncompromising and brutal. So we can see what is truly important. And live it in a spectacular setting.
But I'm a romantic. Therefore irrational, eh?
