 We're going to go ahead and move on to talk about this whole phenomenon of love. I'm saying it sucks, right? What is this thing that we're talking about that sucks? Before we even check further, I want to make a minute to define what is this thing, right? When I say falling in love sucks, what do I mean specifically? What is this falling in love phenomenon? You may recall from your middle school social studies books that the Greeks had three different words for love. Anybody recall that? Middle school social studies, yeah, right? You had friendly love called philia. Pretty sure it's philia, might be mispronouncing that, but you had friendly love, right? Also familiar, family, right? You care about this person. You would do anything for them. You've always got their back. You're always going to be there for them, right? We know what that is. We've experienced that at some point or another with someone at least, right? Then you've got agape, right? Agape. I'm pretty sure that's how I'm pronouncing it, agape. This was the most revered form of love. The philosophers of the day kind of put this one on a pedestal, said it was the most spiritually, the highest spirit, the most virtuous, the best, essentially. And this was that deep, connected partnership that two people can share. It combines the friendly love, the philia, right? It also has a romantic component. It's built over years and years. It's one of the deepest, most beautiful, at least considered by Greek philosophers, the deepest, most beautiful spiritual connections in the entire universe. So when I say falling in love sucks, that's not what I'm talking about. Every one of those, those are awesome. Those are some of the best things in the entire universe. That's not what I'm talking about, right? Greeks had a third word for love, and it was at least three words for love, actually three words for three different things, and they actually had three words for them, and we only have one now. The third one, the one we're talking about today, good old arrows, arrows. Primal, physical, butterflies spinning, millions of songs and sonnets and poems have been written about it. Right? Eros, not the, he's kind of a little more gritty, right? He's not the clean virtuous like his, his siblings over there. Good old arrows, right? What is this phenomenon? What happens when we fall in love, otherwise known as infatuation, sometimes called lust? What's actually going on in this process where everything's perfect in the world, and you've found the most amazing, perfect human being you could ever find for yourself in your life, right? Fortunately, we have few scientific advances that the Greeks didn't. We can look at the brain, the body of what's happening when somebody's falling in love, and the main thing, there's a whole lot of heart beating faster, sweaty palms and all that, but the main things that happen that cause all this is your brain gets hit, I mean, and adrenaline. They're two pretty powerful compounds, right? Dopamine, everything's beautiful and I love everything, adrenaline, I'm fearless. I was going to make a drug allegory there, but I don't think I need to. It's a hell of a drug, essentially, is what I'm saying, right? This chemical burst, if you could package this, it would be the most popular drug in the world by a million times over, right? It's a lot of fun. It's one of the most pleasurable, enjoyable experiences in the world, but that's all it is. It's simply a chemical reaction in your brain that creates this magnetic, crazy attraction connection with somebody else, right? A lot of evolutionary scientists like to talk about why we have this chemical reaction to certain people, certain times, undecided, nobody knows for sure, we can't say for sure, but the most popular theory is that, well, it's for mating. This is for procreation, for making human beings and continuing our species and then growing our species, and it makes sense that this theory has gained popularity because usually the time, the amount of years that these feelings last kind of correlate to the amount of time that a child needs to be heavily dependent on their parents before the village tribe can kind of take over and start having a more helping hand in development. Once again, I don't know for sure that's kind of the theory of why we have this crazy physiological reaction to people, right? That's all it is. It's a little baby-making phenomenon that we put on a pedestal and say, this is the greatest thing in the universe. This is the greatest happily ever after, but it's not.
