What is love?

is love just a chemical reaction of 'pheromones' that can't be seen?

Or is love a mysterious emotion that we will never understand but only experience?

Personally, i believe love exists, or otherwise some sort of fate or determinism exists to a point that time travel exists in order for us to experience it (yes, that's how crazy i get when i fall in love with a woman...)

So, what do you think? is love real? Would you prefer not to know if it weren't?

    Nov 3 2012: Love is termed in different manner. it is the level of attachment involuntarily takes place in ones heart based on connectivity.
    the society /community is architectured in such a way our culture knits a demand for oneness. the urge to unite is a trigger to biological dynamic performance for further strengthening. this is the starting point of family. sudden with drawl of physical connectivity for some time /for ever deprives our sensual satisfaction.
    the severity is the pain source of individual.
    how ever it is a true force for eternal peace and spiritual path. one should not cling to sensual love for sake of pleasure/appeasing senses. raise above the senses and love for love sake. this is the essence of every religion on planet.
