Anyway, when you are in love, and that love is believed to be received back, your brain has so many more endorphins, so much more dopamine released that it actually provides a lot of further noticeable physical relief as well.

The level of happiness that is the norm for someone that believes in and believes they receive love is incredibly higher than those that do not. Now once you have been to Disneyland, why on earth would you want to just ride on the swings for the rest of your life?



Indeed, and if history is anything to go by, our current grasps of knowledge, truth, and free-thinking etc. will be laughed at in 1000 years, just like how many current "free-thinkers" laugh at the freest thoughts of the past millenniums. I believe there is ignorance in putting 100% faith behind anything and that includes science. Indeed science to me by definition is agnostic in that it accepts it can be proven wrong in the future, unlike many so-called scientists I have come across.

There is still a relative subjectiveness in objectivity. It's only a wave or a particle depending on the perceiver...

I'm sorry I just don't believe that. Think about when you go outside (if you live in the city) do you start laughing? Seriously, do you laugh when you see concrete? Because the Romans had concrete 2000 years ago.
