Romantic love is like drug addiction
-
It is well established that both romantic love and drug addiction are very similar in terms of the neurological activation pathways. Both involve the release of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens and frontal lobes. Other stimuli that can produce release dopamine and sensations of pleasure include alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, nicotine, marijuana, other drugs and by compulsive activities such as gambling, eating, and sex.
Perhaps the day will come when we can treat a broken heart by using a drug to simulate the release of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (an area deep within the brain). In fact, when that day comes, will we still need romance? Why bother with flowers on Valentine's Day? Just pop a pill.... -

Roxy Music said that a LONG time ago
T´ain´t no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T´ain´t no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me -
Sounds too good to be true.

Sounds like a "Brave New World".
If it could be helped, I wouldn't want to live in a world where drugs could satisfy the human need for love and companionship and social contact becomes superficial.
