True Love Or Hormone Cocktail?

I watched an episode of “Bachelor in Paradise”; a program framed around early matured males and females looking for love.

The theme is typical . . . “Boy meets Girl”. I would call it the classic framework of the first stage of “Let’s get married”.

What blew me away was one of the meetings of male and female—conventional biological impulse stimulus. Both felt the extreme attraction to one another, the passion! They were each surprised to have found their perfect mate.

They knew this was it and each gave their full self to the other from that depth in which romantic dreams originate. 

The question is about the depth of the certainty of their feelings, and one’s unconditional giving of self to the other with no compromise, in complete trust.

This is the foundation of the romantic dream. It is embedded in the neural core as a force-driven-compulsion—coupling.

As I observed the love birds I was challenged in staying grounded in my own objectivity. I was captured by my own feelings of longing, as I witnessed this raw and pure expression.

What is the state and composition of blood chemistry in the complexity of male/female bonding? Is this also reflected in homosexuality? There is something pure about this example of the forces of union.

Traditionally we call this love, but could it be the character of attraction in reproduction’s foundation?

What is this chemistry? Is it simply a hormone cocktail?
