We used to think, and maybe still do, that our emotions spring from some essential part of ourselves that’s inexplicable to science and medicine. But neuroscientists are fast disabusing us of that notion. In recent years, researchers have identified naturally occuring substances in the brain responsible for everything from fear to sadness to anger. Now, they’ve linked two neurohormones to what’s arguably the most pleasurable emotion of all, love. Wheather maternal or romantic, love seems to stimulate regions of the brain rich in oxytocin and vasopressin- hormones connected to the cravings for human attachment and for reward. Perhaps not coincidentally, love simultaneously suppresses areas of the brain associated with social assessment and judgement, suggesting a pharmacological basis for the ancient idea that “love is blind”. In the lab, pharmaceutical researchers have already managed to block the receptors for these love hormones in animals, causing mothers to abandon offspring and couples to go their separate ways. Could a drug to deactivate hate be far behind? And could everyone in the world be convinced to take it simultaneously?

Lo único que importa es cuánto Amor estás dispuesto a compartir:
El amor no es un negocio, así que deja de tratarlo
como tal. Sino, malograrás tu empresa, tu marca, tu vida, el amor y
todo lo que hay de hermoso en ello, porque todo lo que es bello no es
en absoluto negociable. El negocio es la cosa más fea del mundo, un mal
necesario (de momento). Pero la existencia no sabe acerca de negocios.
Los árboles florecen, no es un negocio; las estrellas brillan, no es un
negocio y no tienes que pagar por ello y nadie te exige nada. Un pájaro
viene y se posa en tu puerta, te canta una canción y no te pide un
certificado o algo así. Ha cantado su canción y luego, muy contento se
va volando, sin dejar huellas. Así es como el amor crece. Da y no
esperes a ver cuánto puedes conseguir.

pentru ca unele povesti se sfarsesc, dar povestile vechi continua si daca vrei sa ramai in frunte, trebuie sa dansezi asa cum ti se canta.
