FALLEN_KINDRED_SOUL Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) Cool thread! I was amused by the fact that some of the members tried to answer the question with a scientific answer. Please allow me to share a piece of my mind about the issue. I do agree that the heart is just a muscle and that the brain is the one dictating our emotions and feelings via the hormones and chemicals that it secretes. However, I think that science can never ever truly define love. Science exists because of hard facts and statistics that can be tangled with. Love is not like that…it is not matter that we can create or destroy. It does not have any measurements nor does it have any statistical values. How can your brain comprehend something that your five senses can not? How can your heart feel something if it is just a muscle within your body and the stimuli is something (or someone) from the outside? In my opinion, it’s the whole being of the person that feels and understands what love is. Not just the brain…not just the heart…it’s the person in his or her entirety. Damn. I really am too drunk….

PaulitoCool Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 when youre falling in love do you really ask yourself where is the feeling coming from? doesnt it just make you happy and feel something unexplainable to the point you simply want to explode in delight? when youre in love your mind wonders endlessly and your heart beat is rapid, cant we just say its both of them in unison? how come then sometimes you already feel youre in love but you doubt it? tug of war of the heart and mind? and when you fall out of love it seems that both the heart and mind are both going offline...

Mobius Stripper Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Perhaps being inlove is like composing. From Finding Forrester: Write the first draft with the heart. Edit the second draft with the brain. Quote Link to comment
<< xtc >> Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 for me its the brain ... coz in the first place you have a set of standards or qualities that makes you want a person; kesyo maganda sya, or saksakan ng seksi at mabait etc. whatever the reason for you to "love" a person, its a conscious effort on your end Quote Link to comment
poorguy Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 it should be both...but the heart is very decietful...the brain should think but consulf the heart =] hirap gawin,hirap unawain ...other people say n iapglalaban ko kahit mahirap,against all odds...-heart ang nag isip nyan =] nothing wrong , romantic p nga pakingan eh...pero you have to think of your future din. kung same yung goal nyo and i guess kahit against yung odds kakayanin yan....labo ko pero final it should be 50.5%brain 49.5% heart =] yan very close contest =] Quote Link to comment
zxd168pzz Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sa lalake - the lower head sometimes dominates the upper headSa babae - the heart sometimes dominates the brain In any case, laging conflict yang dalawang yan.. Sometimes you're not IN LOVE, you're IN LUST.. tama ba? Again, it starts with being IN LUST -> just the physical attraction (everyone starts here). Puro HEART lang yan, and EMOTION. It becomes LOVE -> when you show somebody your dedication to the partnership over a period of time (through hail,sleet, or snow).. medyo this requires a mix of HEART and BRAIN dahil hindi ka naman laging head over heels (or in LUST) with somebody na kasama mo araw araw diba? it's close to impossible. So, medyo pa-iiralin mo rin yung BRAIN power mo to sustain the relationship. It's a hard balancing act.. but that's what it takes I guess.. Does this make sense guys? Quote Link to comment
badgurl06 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 its the brains that controls right? Quote Link to comment
mohao Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) When you're in love.... is it the brain that's acting and telling you you're in love or is it the heart? for me it's the heart... but then again mom told me that's why God placed the brain above the heart for you to use it Edited January 6, 2007 by wetkiss Quote Link to comment
tom134 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 BRAIN...it tells the heart to palpitate.... Quote Link to comment
chabacano Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 sometimes it would all depend on what one's true intentions are Quote Link to comment
nightingale Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 by known scientific explanations, it should be the brain. although there is no logic in loving. Quote Link to comment
Wang-BU Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 hmmmmnnn.....based on my experience, most of the time it's the heart that tells you that you are in love. you can't pretend to love someone of you don't wholeheartedly love her/him.....hehehehe ayus...... Quote Link to comment
