What is the connection between heart and love?

Question

Why is a heart always responsible for love? Why don't people relate any other organ with love? Why do some people say to think with the heart and not with mind? Does the heart think?

Please answer respectively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

As far as I know, the heart does not "think." The only characteristic that you could even consider thought (in the heart) would be that it pumps on its own because it's an involuntary muscle. As far as the heart being responsible for love, I highly doubt it, but some chemicals (in your brain) have to do with the actual feeling of love.

People probably say to think with the heart and not the mind because they associate the heart with feelings, instead of actual thoughts. This suggests that we don't do some things because we think too much about it and instead should do what we feel.

They probably relate the heart because it affects your entire body (but so does your brain) and without it you can't live-maybe a metaphor for you not being able to live without someone you love. Or when they say, "I give you my heart," they mean I give you my life because I love you and you mean more to me than my own life. (This whole association probably started a long time ago, before modern scientific discoveries.)

I guess it's something you have to experience to understand and it seems like you and I have not done so yet.

Answer 2

It's just a myth. If you got a heart transplant tomorrow, you would still love the same people you love today and not the people the person who gave you his/her heart loved during his/her life. Feelings are all in the brain and so is love.

2. the liver was thought to be the center of love in Shakespeare's time
