The Brain on Love
The article “The Brain on Love” by Diane Ackerman was a very interesting read. The idea of “feeling felt” stood out to me because in my experience, there is nothing greater than having someone feel the same way about you as you do them. We spend our entire lives looking for someone who will give us these neurological pick-me-ups and try to stay clear of those who will cause us mental pain. I was also surprised to find that social rejection and physical pain affect the same area of the brain. Although I have not been in love yet, I have witnessed this feeling of hurt all over my body due to social rejection. It is amazing what love can do to your body. It has the ability to make you a better person, help you heal faster and give you the euphoric feeling that people on drugs feel. But love also has the ability to tear you down, make you feel weak and unwanted and in some cases cause physical pain to the body. Love is a crazy thing.
