Love. Probably the most exhilarating, fascinating, incredible experiences humans have the opportunity to have. It is natures beautiful way of keeping the human species alive, and prospering. A cocktail of chemicals in our brain entices us to fall in love. It takes between approximately 90 seconds and 4 minutes to decide you are interested in someone. When you experience being in love your adrenaline kicks in (the chemical responsible for the butterflies in your stomach and your heart racing), your serotonin level rises causing you to constantly think of your new found love interest, and your dopamine level rises (the chemical responsible for desire and reward). You need the perfect amounts of all these chemicals to feel in love, too much or …show more content…
So to say that the bible is insignificant and bears no impact on the way we think would be ignorance. The bible may say that marriage must be between a man and woman but it also says that a marriage shouldn’t be severed by a divorce (for example, in Malachi 2;16 where it is said “the god of Israel HATES DIVORCE . Jesus himself said nothing on the matter of homosexuality and yet he was very clear on divorce, so why are gay people the only people who must follow the biblical law? As society has evolved so has our views and laws, although some still stemming somewhat from the bible, we have moved past the closed minded ways of the bible into a more culturally accepting and non-discriminating society. Saying that homosexuality and the marriage of homosexual individuals is wrong and should be outlawed because of our dominant religion is absurd, especially considering that a large proportion of society today doesn’t even affiliate themselves with the bible at …show more content…
However marriage for procreation would exclude those that are infertile, those that do not marry before conceiving and those that choose altogether not to have children even if legally married. Also the continuing advances in science has actually shown a way that it is possible for women to create a child using the bone marrow of a woman, however there is only the ability of conceiving a female child and not a male. This has not yet been successfully demonstrated in the full form of an embryo but it does prove that lesbian relationships would be able to procreate and therefore they should marry, right? To say that homosexual couples should not marry because they are unable to naturally create a child is
Love, an intense, deep feeling of connection, romantic, or sexual attachment showing affection for someone or something. As for all pleasant emotions, the feeling that comes with love is exquisitely satisfying. It feels like a cool, , long drink of water when you are parched on a hot day, it it refreshing. Scientists have a pretty good idea of what love does to the brain. Being in love floods the brain with chemicals and hormones that produce feelings of pleasure, obsession and attachment. Neuroscientists divide love into three phases: lust, attraction and attachment. During the lust phase, hormones flood the body with feelings of intense desire. Adrenaline and norepinephrine make the heart race and the palms sweat, while the brain chemical
As most would likely find it common, all three interviewees had their greatest loss pertaining to death. Susan, Liz, and Dave all went through a period of struggle when losing someone they loved dearly. Susan lost her father, Liz lost her brother, and Dave lost his brother. With each interview being very distinct from one another, specific parts of each interview stood out from the rest. For instance, in Susan's interview, the words she used to describe what she lost stood out. There was an intense amount of emotion when she replied to the question with "how do you describe when you lose a dad" and then used the words "unconditional love". Going into Liz's interview, there were numerous things that stood out to me. First and foremost, was the
Think about an assisted living facility that provides care for residents, not only from professionals but also from children. The lower cost of care and the abundance of joy brought into the facility will make this Senior’N’Children Center very rewarding. This program is called “Abundant Love.” Abundant love will be a home for residents with a built in day care for children aged 5-11. The diversity among the different ages would benefit both generations.
I love to read…no really, I do. I love to read and writing gets equal affection. From the time I was taught to read and write, I developed an ongoing love affair with the printed word and the blank pages of a journal. I quickly discovered I could not have one without the other…for me they naturally go hand in hand. Preparing this part of the description essay paper allowed me the opportunity to ponder how this “love affair” developed over the seasons of my life and how it is still ongoing. I learned that although each love affair is unique and distinct in its own right, there are common stages in developing a love affair.
Imagine a world where you are constantly seen as wrong for just being who you are. You’re a fifteen year old boy named Ethan. It all started last year when other boys around you would talk about how cute the girls in your class were. Your best friend Dylan was starting to experiment, kiss girls and even do other more sexual things. Dylan one day made a comment about you dating a girl in your P.E class. Her name was Jade and she was quite pretty. However, you felt nothing when you looked at her. The butterflies you were supposed to get when your eyes met, never happened. It was when you looked at Dylan that they stirred. Dylan didn’t know how much he had just hurt you with such a comment, but your distaste for Jade was obvious. Your classmates soon noticed and it wasn’t long before your life at school was filled with hate, and only hate. From then on you were mocked, ridiculed, and seen as the lowest of the low, for something you couldn’t help. It didn 't matter how hard you tried to like girls, you simply couldn 't, and because of it your world was filled with
Just as people exemplify love for their family, they also show love towards their friends and partner. The only difference is most people 's actions show the different meaning of the word love. For example, when people acquire best friends or friends that they are really close with, they let certain guards down in order to become close with them. This group of people usually does things together to show how much they love each other, such as getting gifts for another for birthdays, Christmas, and other holidays. Not only do they physically give each other things, but they also figuratively give each other things, such as time. When a friend is down, they may go to them and ask, “What’s wrong?” That shows the love they have for one another.
Homosexuality is no exception. Twisted enough, and mistranslated enough, the Bible can create grounds for many opinions, however far out they may seem. What is important to understand is the fact that not a single person is completely rid of bias. The opinions of important figures, from preacher to presidential hopeful, are influenced by more than just the Bible. Culturalism plays a huge role, if not the largest role, in creating popular opinion when it comes to the Conservative Christian community and topics such as homosexuality. There are over 30000 verses in the Bible, yet only seven verses are believed to mention homosexuality, and of these, all seven have explanations as to why viewing them as God’s hatred of homosexuals is wrong and even ignorant is some cases. Conservative Christians used the Bible to justify slavery decades ago. Now they use it to justify the hatred of homosexuality. While the fault does not lie with each individual Conservative Christian, the community, and particularly its leaders, are responsible for recognizing the effects of culturalism and the influence exerted by religious leaders. Until the community takes responsibility for it, there will be no change when it comes to homosexuality, or future controversial
Marriage is defined as the legally union of a man and a woman but, what is not defined is why people get married. In the past the common reason people chose to marry one another was not actually their choice because their marriage was most likely arranged. As time went on you see changes in the institution of marriage. People started marrying for other reasons like to be financial stable or to have a family and have children. Today the most common reason for marriage is because of love. Loved based marriages have been on the rise but are becoming the normal reason for people to marry in today’s society. People talk about the “marriage crisis” all the time, is the rise of love based marriages the blame? Love
Marriage is a complicated topic and even more complicated when it ends in divorce. When entering a sacred union, such as a marriage, the person is entering uncharted water that can end up in happiness or divorce. For females in the 1900s, it became more of a chore than happiness. From an early age, the female mind has been trained, by their parents and society, to automatically take the role of a mother and a wife. Many married women understood that by marrying a man, they would have to understand the need of their husband as well as being the proper wife. However, married female did not expect their husbands to go to war in 1914 through 1918 and possibly again in 1939 through 1945. Due to the wars, some females became a widow and some marriages
Love, that single feeling which generates the funny sensations in people's stomach, giving them the warm pleasures in their body, causing them to feel joy, and to believe every aspect in their life is right. It causes them to receive an exhilarating, appealing feeling that makes them want to rejoice. Love can be a speeding of their heart, but it can also be nerve-racking. It makes their hearts begin to rapidly pump, making a rapid beat— “ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom”. Attempting to describe love is a rigorous task, but it is possible. However, the easiest detail to describe and understand about love is not so much the feeling of it, but the concept of what it is about. Many people may obtain different views and definitions regarding love, but
Love is a universal feeling. No one has never felt love and everyone has endured sacrifices of their own. Love always has sacrifices and are required if you love someone or something. There are many sacrifices that can show affection and care that have positive externalities such as, giving up luxuries, personal goals or even physical sacrifices.
Love happens when you least expect it. It can happen on the street corner, at the bar, at the grocery store, the park. That’s one of the greatest things about love. As for me I found love in the pouring down rain in the middle of the street. I fell in love with a man who I never thought in a million years I’d fall for. A man who is loving, caring and respectful. The night I laid my eyes on him I knew he was it. He came into my life at a point when I was unraveling and losing control. I was lost for two years after my high school sweetheart and I broke up, I thought I was never going to find real love, but I did. He saved me and I remember every minute from that night.
When I was a young girl in elementary school I developed a friendship with a girl that lived a block from me. We began visiting each other’s homes every day. Having sleep overs, riding the bus together and even sitting with each other during lunch. We developed a friendship that couldn’t be broken. It didn’t matter that I was African American and she was Caucasian her whole family made me feel like I was one of their own. While I didn’t know much about anything and didn’t really know what family meant I learn it from her family. She taught me how to line dance and I learn to love his strange music that was peaceful and full of love called country music. It had a way of making your feel happy when you were down. We formed a bond and became best friends she was the only friend I had and I remember when her other friends came to visit I grew kind of jealous because I thought they would take her away from me and I would be all alone again so I became distant. She was such a great friend and for somehow she knew what was bothering me without me even having to say anything so she told me that it shouldn’t worry we will always be friends and it’s okay to have more than one best friend. She was so wise for her age I use to think to myself. As I grew older my mother and siblings and I moved out of town and I lost connection with her but with the increased technology like Facebook we have reconnected. I believe attraction played a major part on us becoming friends. Our friendship started on the school bus on the ride home from school. A couple of bullies started picking on her because of her freckles and fi...

What is love? Love is a very special and meaningful word to each human being. Each human being has his/her own thoughts about love to guide himself/herself to land safely and smoothly into the kingdom of Love. Without this preconceived idea of love, people would be acting like a blind person searching for the light with thousand of obstacles in front of him.
