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 4 2012: Love is the exchange of like-energy between two forms of life (people, animals, plants), that connect at the same time on the same plane. It connects to other like-energy, disconnects from dissimilar energy, and forms a web of energies that become family., then community and outwards. Love means wanting the best energy that can surround your energy and the energy of those in your energy field. Sometimes the energy connection weakens to the point that it must leave a particular web of energy and connect to another web. Energy connections are never broken, just weakened, even in death.
