I have felt this as my ex-significant other is in the military and would spend time away.

The pain to the heart is a clenching feeling, like a woman with sharp nails suddenly grabbing and squeezing. This would occur when I would find myself thinking of him, or I would smell him, even if someone walked past me on the street wearing the same aftershave.

The exact opposite is felt when something good happened, like turning up at my work with a huge bunch of white roses and lilies to help me forget that it should have been my 10th wedding anniversary. It would feel like my heart was glowing inside my chest !!

Love is not a mystery , it is a condition . All living beings experience it but in different ways . Treat it like a bad friend . Take control , enjoy the nice bits but avoid all other nasty parts . It is self induced . Come out of yourself and observe that everything else around you is as it has ever been . Wear it if you like , but don't think about it , like your favourite jumper .

i can't agree totally w/this sentiment. i don't think love is self induced (i.e. all the physiological, definitely UNromantic causes behind it). it would also seem reasonable that since we each & every one of us are so different, we'd have different abilities in coping w/the impact of intense love. while some perhaps could wear it like an old jumper, many dont have that abilitly. & some, myself included, wouldnt have the inclincation to do so. even the bad bits are precious becuz they heighten the senses -- everything else around seem NOT as its always been, but more powerfully experienced -- perhaps appreciated, perhaps agonised over.

What you say is true and stays true because as you say our abilities are different and not everyone can do the same thing in the same way . We need to set-up an experiment to validate the issue of self induction . Love is a consuming and intoxicating product of human biochemical makeup . Keeping that in mind , it stays a personal experience , very much like a drug induced trip . Once you understand the addiction then you are better equipped to deal with it . No I did not say 'an old jumper' .. I think the phrase I used was ' favourite jumper' could be new as much as old .. the choice is ours . What we need is a serum . Agree ?

o no! definitely do not agree that we need a serum. love brings too many pluses w/it. it puts the curves in a very straight road.

as to self induced, love is a biological imperative, w/certain exceptions. would you say hunger is self induced?

laugh I think the sensation of hunger can be fully suppressed too . Loosing control is not desirable in any situation . Oh I forgot there are ready made remedies for suppression of love . But I am sure that need for an anti-love serum is there .

Would you like to take part in an experiment ?

Unfinished post -

Would you like to take part in an experiment ? Next time when you fall in love I will offer you the serum .. The choice will be yours .

ah yami, you make me laugh, but in a good way, not at all derisively. its like we're not even speaking the same language!

just to clarify, i didnt say hunger could not be suppressed; i said it was not self induced. & i think i mentioned unequivicably that i did NOT want a love serum.

last but not least, we are never in control. we can fight it as much as we want or we can stand on tiptoe & let the breeze carry us away.

We are standing at the same spot .. But you have come that way and me , the other . You will go that way and I will go the other .. Do what you like , think what you will .. life is just like that . I enjoyed our exchange . That is aged , old , gone .. so am I .
