Can anyone of you tell me????

Question

What is love? Is it comes from heart or brain?

Answer 1

First, this is a really interesting question and it is one that I have been thinking about, though maybe from a different angle than you.

My considered response to your question would be: Neither.

I think you would have to say that love comes from culture.

While the word "love" has long existed in the English and European languages, certainly the *meaning* of the word has changed considerably over the centuries and in the various regions. I suspect that the word "love" as used between two 21st century teenagers probably means something very different than it did in the 12th century in Europe. It no doubt means something very different for two teenagers in Los Angeles today as it does for two teenagers in Bolivia, Iran or even Italy.

In Japan, for example, translators of western literature in the 19th century had to create a Japanese equivalent to the word "love." Neither the word nor the concept (as understood by the west) existed in Japan prior to that time. Does that mean that the Japanese were all cold, soulless people without a tender thought in their hearts? Of course not. What it means is that the idea of romantic love was a concept specific to a certain place and time--it is not universal. Even today you will not hear a Japanese couple say to each other "I love you." The words are there, but they aren't said. This is not to say that Japanese couples are not as capable as American couples of being utterly devoted to one another and valuing their partner's happiness more than anything in the world. It is just that the way it is expressed and the form of the feeling are different. This difference is a product of culture.

I don't know if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it helps!

Answer 2

Love is a feeling felt in the heart but comes from the brain

Answer 3

Love is a feeling that comes from the heart, but it's the brain that tells you to act on it.

Answer 4

Love comes sometimes from the soul, other times from the brain. I think it is a shame that we have lost the distinction between the four kinds of love that the Greeks had:
Agapē: charity
Eros: passionate love
Philia : friendship
Storge: affection
Agapē is primarily a "brain-origin" love - it is primarily a choice to treat someone in a certain way. Philia is less of a choice, although we do choose our friends and we can choose to dislike someone. Eros tends to be the love people refer to as coming "from the heart", as it seems to appear without any choice involved and it affects the very way your heart functions (increased heart-rate, "skipping a beat" etc). And storge is a "soul" love - you cannot really help loving your children! This kind of love seems to be hard-wired into the brain.

Answer 5

The traditional Chinese character for love (愛) consists a heart in the middle, and contains the meanings of accept, feel, and perceive.
I consider that they have right. So, love comes from heart.

But there is also chemistry specially in Eros (erotic love). Chemicals are present in the brain when people are feeling love. These chemicals include; Testosterone, Oestrogen, Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Vasopressin. In that case love comes from the brain

Answer 6

Love is a mix of many emotions.
It comes from the brain.

Answer 7

Neither. It is a way of being.
It seems to come from heart though for physiological reasons.
Love being an emotion far away from logic, causes some change in pattern of heart beat, and hence it is easy to attribute it to the manifested symptom rather than seek an abstract source, the intuitional aspect of a being !

Answer 8

emotion comes from the brain, the heart is a muscle.

Answer 9

Love is a word used to describe a high degree of Affinity or closeness to something or some one.
It comes from YOU. YOU are not your body i.e. your heart, or your brain.

Answer 10

Love is the ability to care about yourself amd apply that ability to others. You asses with your brain and then open your heart.
