is irrationality always bad ? i need help !

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?

"Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which act in a manner similar to amphetamines, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement."

Redfish, I fell in love with a girl in my dream. She is completely fictional and yet my feelings of love for her was very real. Her attractiveness both physical and emotional sparked off the emotions of love.

No communication possible. Chemical, digital or otherwise. Would they still love? Consider the people you love. Can you feel them, right now?

Memory of that person's attractiveness both physical and emotional is enough to cause a chemical reaction in the brain that causes that feeling of love. It does not prove the existance of spirits or gods in any way.

If you really think it's possible to experiance the feeling of love without pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin then if we removed these chemicals, could you still say you love your girlfriend or wife based on the present or lack of emotional responce to attraction? I love a girl could jessica but without any chemical reactions firing in my brain, I would feel nothing for her. Love is chemial not spiritual.
You know, I could do very well without love. Since I'd rather not love jessica anymore.
