I read an article today in National Geographic that was a study about Love and the chemical reactions that happen in the brain when people "fall in love". It's the same chemical imbalance of dopamine that you see in a person who is diagnosed with OCD. Interesting that it has the same chemical levels and a lot of the same outward symptoms. Makes the actions of some make more sense. Look at history and stories of great loves and the extent which they're willing to go. They're all a little nuts. But then later comes a bonding chemical which makes people stick around with each other. National Geographic rocks.
