Love comes back for more

Chugga Lugga Bugga...She Loves me, She loves me not, She loves me, She loves me not...*GASSP*...SHE LOVES ME!!! Romeo Romeo Where art thou Romeo...Lets put it this way...Why do we feel good about doing certain things when we're in love? Does touching someone else affectionatley make us feel good? YES!! WHY?? I shall tell you. your very right that it does make us feel good, however, it isnt something that arose naturally. Hugging someone may make us feel good and it is something of a natural thing to do. The point is, European literature brought forth the code of conduct for what we consider to be love. This has been spread in books and on television. Personally though, I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if someone was raised to think that these ideas were an abhorrance. Have you ever seen the movie 'A Clockwork Orange' ? In it we are shown someone who loves violence and is eventually taken to prison. He undergoes a treatment which forces him to view scenes of violence while ingesting a drug that makes his stomach hurt. Eventually whenever he sees violence he associates it with that feeling and hates it. Coincidentally, Beethoven was playing while he was undergoing this treatment, and although he had loved Beethoven before, he abhorred it now. This is similar to what we consider to be signs of love. We've been raised in such a way, or brainwashed by culture and European literature if you will, to associate positively with certain signals. Someone blows you kiss, you have been raised to respond positively to this. Someone flips you off, you have been raised to respond negatively to this. You see where I'm going? European literature provided the basis for what we associate as good or bad signs in love. I wont deny that love is a good thing, but I will say that culture provided the starting point for what we associate with love.
