Romantic Fool: Interesting Reads

The secret of marketing is to sell something by using an incentive one will not recognise.

This is often quite easy to accomplish.

Most of us hardly ever know what we want until one shows it to us. 

Love has a much similar story to tell.

Unfortunately Love is nothing more than a product that one sells. Movies are a medium that lures people in it. On seeing Love on the big screen people want to experience the same in their lives.

Romantic love is a recent cultural invention, no more than 300 years old. It picked during the era of Romanticism (1800-1850) as a reaction to Renaissance and carried on until recently with the manifestation of the romantic notion of the nuclear family.

 People back in the day used to get married for business and have sex for fun.

There is no evidence that “Love” is an emotion, other than the romantic story we promised to tell to each other until we forget that it's a lie. 

Experiment: Love is not an emotion. 

Helen Fisher presented an interesting experiment. 

Using an MRI machine brains of four groups of people were scanned. 

The first group were people who had just fallen in love while

The second included people that had been recently heartbroken. 

The third group was comprised of individuals who had just started using cocaine.

The fourth ones withdrawing from the habit of taking cocaine.

Results:  Falling in Love is like getting addicted to Cocaine 

The MRI readings for those falling in love and those getting into cocaine were strikingly similar.  The overall readings of people under the effects of love and under the effects of cocaine were indistinguishable when visually compared side by side. 

Same thing applied for people who were withdrawing from cocaine or falling out of love. 

LOVE IS DOPAMINE - BODY LANGUAGE LIES, IMAGES OF ONES BRAIN DONT LIE.

According to the Experiment report: Falling in Love is a Chemical Imbalance

1. Not a single spark of MRI activity was flaring from the frontal lobe—the part of the brain where feelings are processed. 

2. The readings indicated similarities to a disease. Series of biochemical reactions that trigger an emotional cascade, impairing normal functioning. 

3. Surprisingly enough, after one has sexual intercourse the condition dissipates.

4. The idea of Love hijacks the brain much like a drug does.

With the above experiment one can safely use the word Romantic Fool for people who fall in Love.

Conclusion: Romantic Fool

Romantic love camouflages our lust and desire.

The idea of Love is selfish. 

Many eventually end up getting hurt.

Love as a marketable idea is the problem for most of humanity’s turmoils.

It is not the solution as it is so often advertised to be.
