Love, is it just biology?

If it’s one thing I adore, it’s a good quote. I ran across this quote on someone’s facebook profile, so I am unsure of it’s original author but sources hint that it’s a fellow goon.

“Realize that falling in love with someone is just the result of a series of generic events that can occur between you and basically anyone who meets your standards of attractiveness. It’s just an emotional manifestation of a handful of chemicals bouncing back and forth. It’s not the holy grail of living, it’s not your reason to exist and it’s definitely not something reserved for “that one person.” Accept that you are just an animal with a big brain that allows you to fret over what only amounts to a game of hormone pool. What you’re feeling is not your soul dying a gurgling, ugly death, but withdrawal. All the happy chemicals that saturated your body when you were with her are kicking out cold turkey, and your body is screaming ‘Bloody murder, where are my fucking endorphins?’ It’s just chocolate. Find a new bar.”

Update: The original author of this quote is ‘666′ from SA. Many thanks to Serrath for pointing it out to me. Nevertheless, the quote is definitely legendary.

Adieu. Navid.
