The Chemistry of love

I have heard love is nothing but infatuation
When some chemical sub stances levels up within our biological corpus, we may feel like loving and when that age passes we will lose that substance and we will turn out to be less loving. I do not know this fact. I am not a student of science and the intricacy of this science or idea is incomprehensible to me. But the curiosity to know more about it does not die out.
Love must be something more than the sum total of what we know of it or the chemistry of it. It transcends this periphery of definition or disambiguation. Maybe what we call infatuation is a single or one dimensional approach and this is a multidimensional idea. Striking at one root we cannot claim that we came to know about the rest of roots, not to mention the main root.
Let us share our ideas. I do not want to support one idea and oppose another just because something preoccupies my mind. When we are students of science we are moulded or conditioned to oppose sets of ideas. This is called obsession. We go to the extent of completely disregarding all wisdom.
Now people started to define love within scientific or chemical dimensions. Of course its scope transcends the limit set by us.
Love is oftentimes tied up with something godliness. Something supreme, something beyond a state of materiality or mundane reality. We simply pivot around definitions, logical propositions, syllogistic ideas, philosophical inferences, scientific methods, experiments, observations and empirical evidences. But truth cannot be arrived at easily. We cannot completely decline ancient wisdom.
Man is a just dust, a cosmic dust and his knowledge of this universe is likened to the attempt of a mole to scale Mt. Everest. There are a hundreds of mountains one has to scale before forwarding steps to summiting Mt. Everest.
I am not opposing science. All that I am accentuating is we must have an integral approach to truth. We can be close to truth if we look at it from a multidimensional lens.

I, too, have heard of this theory. Apparently a hormone called "oxytocin" is released when a person feels close to another. This "feeling" is addictive but lasts at most two years, after which time the body becomes immune to the "love chemicals".

It makes sense because how else do you explain people who claim to be "so in love", only to have boredom gradually creep into their relationship and eventually lead to their break-up?

But with this knowledge, we can potentially engineer love and where will that take us?

In psychology, the biological approach tries to explain phenomena such as 'falling in love' by describing and explaining bodily functions. Using this theory, people who fall in love experience sensations because of the increase and decrease of hormones such as epinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and many others.
But then again, love can defined in many ways when taking into consideration factors such as culture, time, and personal biases and prejudices.
In my opinion, love is the most complex and mystifying thing on earth. I have started threads on this subject hoping to gain insight from people from different walks of life, so that I may be closer to the truth in explaining this phenomenon. But alas, there was no definite answer.
I guess when you're in love, 'You just know'...;)
