Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure (I loved that meal) to intense interpersonal attraction (I love my husband).

This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.

Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts. (Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org)

  3. This was cute and to the point. Silly and funny at times. Made the scientific aspects easy to understand.
    I noticed that the dialogue didn't match the mouths moving on the participants.
    I am assuming they were speaking english but all the dialogue still looked dubbed. I found that to be visually distracting.
    I'd recommend this doc if you're looking for something short and light-hearted.

  5. I dunno. Discovery's documentaries get worse and worse. Most of this documenatary's just bla bla. No real new insights, nothing really unrevealing.

  6. This was so sad. I've been with my wife for 3 years, and I still think she is the greatest partner I could ever want. I hope I continue to believe that my whole life.

  8. I kind of understand what you are saying, Eric. Your thoughts seem to be jumbled somewhat, but I take that is coming from your passion about this subject, along with the desire for people to understand. I think you should at least watch this program, Eric. Yes, people do throw the word "love" around, and this does deplete the meaning. The truth is though, if you are in love, it doesn't matter if the word has been overused by others. Love is what it means to you and your partner. We can't forget that we are made of chemicals and reactions and all sorts of things science doesn't even completely understand, but that is the point of producing programs like this one, or books, or doing studies. We are all curious, we are all learning, we are being educated and educating others. There are different meanings of the word love based on who you are. This is about sex, chemistry, and why some people fall in love while others fall in lust. You really should watch it, because reading the description is not enough. You can't know what is being said if you aren't listening, so how can you really argue it? Please watch.

  9. the thought of it is obviously not the thing, what you are deriving is something else, this is a question of pleasure, you dont love sex, you desire pleasure, which is really an act all on your own, even if is includes someone else, if you follow, in such an act there cant be love, this is a selfish gratification which one peruses throughout their life

  11. Landless Peasant05/20/2010 at 01:16 Pls join the landless peasant party and help us take control of our land ! They aint making any more.

    The Landless Peasant Party is a new political party representing the views and aspirations of Landless Peasants in the UK.

    The UK is not our nation , we do not own it, the land of the nation is not held for our benefit nor on our behalf.
    From the day we are born we are Peasants, with no right to the very essence of our nation.
    Yet we are extolled to work, pay tax, fight and if necessary die to defend it.

    We are liable for the debts of our nation, we are the mass of people from whom business extracts its profits.
    We live in the 24 million homes on 7% of the land, unable to live by our own means.
    We have little choice but to take part in economic slavery.
    Our basic need for shelter must be provided by market forces supplying our homes to us for as much profit as the market can bear. These homes are not built for you to “live” in ,they are built for you to sleep in after work. They have no means to make energy, there is little or no facility to grow your food. Instead our food is flown in from around the world, manufactured on an industrial scale using the cheap labour of other Peasants in other lands. Our energy is suppllied by hugely profitable multinationals at great expense to us and the Earth. Even the supply of water makes vast profits. Our lives have been reduced to a collection of utility bills and what we do to earn money

  12. Tim and Eric Awesome Show.......great job! Sorry I couldn't resist :D I read every comment and still don't have a clue what eric is talking about. Love is the best/worst thing to ever happen. Eric you do have a point in saying that hate is the yang to love. Seldom are they far apart from each other. But, you seem a little too jaded. Hope I never meet the one that took a dump on your spirit. I don't think anyone is trying to make you feel stupid. You might be the brightest bulb on the strand. Your method of idea conveyance is....well....mind-boggling and a bit tiresome to follow. No, offence intended (we're in the honesty tree here).
    To me, love is like my apartment. The rent comes due every so often, tears are shed, rent gets paid anyways, cycle repeats next month.....life goes on. Hell, even Butters from Southpark figured it out. You would never know how happy you are, until you feel an equal part of sadness.
    Take the good with the bad, pay your money and take your chances. You only get one shot @ this life. Nobody believes that, till it's too late. (Damn that's too many affirmations in one space!)I wish you folks all the best. I'm going to turn this robot box off and interact with the world for a bit. Thanks for your thoughts!

  15. I haven't heard anybody talk like Eric since I was in rehab for alcohol abuse and had a crack addict in my group.

    it's just a big pile of words that hurts your brain if you give him the time of day.

  16. Good documentary, but you must realize this is offering a scientific perspective on love, not a philosophical one. If you are looking for something other than a chemical description of love, you are not going to find it in this documentary.

  17. people for centuries have tried to redefine the mysteries of love/ sex .. learned very little from this doco but hey it's still interesting.. :)

  18. What this video fails to mention is the adverse affects. That is to say being in love - utterly head over heels in love is in my opinion unbeatable but the come-down is extremely harsh.

    That said - (that's life) wouldnt it be nice to bottle this stuff

  19. Eric:

    I do not know what to say!

    Your flow of words, like Tim says, actually makes sense!

    Keep it up, and then maybe people can have some discourse with you.

    :D

  20. Eric, why did you wait until your last post to say something that makes sense? You should have done that in the beginning. It would have saved a lot of time.

  21. you really are not this dull are you? that beyond the verbal, intellectual exchanges there is absolutely no understanding of yourselves, to be stupid is not that you don't know; you refuse to appreciate anything anyone on here has to say, must you jump on every word,reacting, is the ego really that big? that kind of discourse must spoil it for those who really have something to say that doesn't include verbal critiques that are so dull, wasteful, distracting and take up a whole lot of time, and what have you done? show what you know, or to make the other feel stupid? which is a discourse in which there is no learning what so ever;So what is the world like which is filled with those that talk of love and do nothing but insult, attack, oppose the other,id say that is a world in which there is a whole lot of wars,which is the world we live in, the violence, the hate, the conflicts which we have to deal with, and that does not exclude anyone, and if you don't feel responsible than be honest when you talk about love, there is nothing wrong to not know, it is only then that learning can take place which is new, not a modification or addition or abstraction of what one already knows; What is knowledge? and if you have been reading carefully that has been pointed out in many of the comments, what is the difference between pointing out and critique?
    this is my last commentary, you can carry on in that way if you want
