BEHIND LOVE CURTAINS









As I let my fingers slithering around each goose bump of your firm, succulent breasts, I feel like the bed we are lying on is on top of unbearable ice, letting my body going numb, feeling absolutely nothing from this violent and cruel outer world. Your glittering watery soft lips melt like mysterious, unfinishable chocolate bars in my mouth. The tantalizing smell of your cozy, scintillating dark black hair makes me to forget all terrestrial troubles, I have each day. My humble body trembles convulsively from unexplainable pleasure when you whisper slowly and silently in my ears that you love me. I am not such forgetful of not remembering the strength of your dovelike eyes, small, blackened and whitened, which let all the truth out of me whenever I think of lying to you. Your hairy beautiful and incomparable legs of chocolate-like nature make my tongue dry that it needs rescue of juice-like water which flows down provocatively and slowly from between your African bow shaped thighs. You are my love that’s what I know. I ways love you to the moon and back.

What is love? Where does love come from? Why do people love? Is love a mysterious phenomenon, which cannot be explained?

            I have seen a cow sniffing and licking the head of its calf affectionately just after its birth, the devotion of two wonderful pigeons kissing on the roof and the sensitive compassion of a parade of elephants rumbling loudly throwing leaves and dirt over the carcass of one of their own.

            Amor, L'amour, Liebe, Rudo etc, these words mean Love in other languages. Most of people believe vehemently that love is mysterious and it cannot be explained, leading them to a great tendency of fear of what they don’t understand. Aren’t we running the risk of blocking our minds and perpetuate ignorance of something we carry inside us by calling it mysterious, rather than facing the almost unbearable light of knowledge from opening our eyes? We call ourselves rational and smatter than other species on earth. I hope it’s time we took chance of eradicating the unmysterious.

            Many scientists under the ramifications of Psychology advocate that Love is not mysterious.  Our bodies are made up of a considerable amount of different hormones responsible for different emotions which turn us on into producing different actions. Some of them responsible for romantic love are: dopamine, testosterone, serotonin, adrenaline, oxytocin etc.

Dopamine affects various organs including the genitals, the sweat glands and also senses stimulating desire and enhances the release of testosterone.
Testosterone is a potent hormone produced chiefly by the testes, responsible for the development of male secondary characteristics.

Adrenaline increases the blood level, which makes some people start sweating, heart beating fast and mouth drying resulting in saying absolutely nothing when they come up with someone they love.
Serotonin is responsible of memory which explains why we keep on having flash backs of images of people we have recently fallen in love with.
Oxytocin is a powerful hormone released by both men and women during orgasm. It probably deepens the feelings of attachment and makes a couple feel much closer to one another after they have had sex, which makes the theory of the more a couple has sex, the deeper their bond becomes. Helen Fisher of Rutgers University in the States and Maryanne Fisher Ph.D. in The Science Behind falling in Love.

            People tend to unmysterialise and understand Hate better than they do with Love, but they are just two opposite emotions produced in our sophisticated bodies. As we are capable of hating, so in normal conditions we are capable of loving. Scientists advocate and prove that love comes from our brains instead of hearts in which many people believe.
Instead of the heart, the limbic system “the emotional center of our brain" controls all of our emotions. Our body's nervous system sends sensory stimuli to the limbic system. All of these emotions come from a brain part called hypothalamus which uses the automatic nervous system to transform emotion into physical reactions. Lara Rutherford

            As we may have got a controversial picture of where love comes from, many people would ask, but why do we love at the first place? Well, I think all our emotions have a role to play in our lives, even negative emotion such as pain. I view pain as a crucial emotion in our lives, making living organisms to do everything they can to avoid anything that can harm or damage their bodies. I can’t imagine a person insensitive to pain, in terms of any danger, this person could mistakenly tread on a glowing ash or get involved in a terrible accident. He would burn or bleed out to death without having any stimulating emotion to trigger him into screaming for help. However love emotions are responsible for union and peace in humankind. Love emotions lead us to happiness, pleasurable desires and unexplainable attachment creating a strong bond of long lasting relationships among mankind, resulting into safe reproduction and the perpetuation of humanity.

RELIGIOUS CONFUSION

Religion is one of the oldest practices in human history. It includes a common set of elements, which may be believed or practiced differently, which are the existence of ceremonial occasions, the divine power, sacred things and places, faith, supernatural being or beings etc. The existence of different geographic areas, genetic differences between races of humankind, distinctive languages and ethnic groups lead to different cultures in which religion is born.             Human beings have been wondering in the quest for the meaning of their lives. We have encountered ourselves immersed in deep pools of unanswerable questions about our existence. Where did we come from? Who created us and everything around us? And someone could answer," the supernatural beings". But then, who created the supernatural beings as we also were created? That is where things start getting complicated and confusion is born.    ...

THE POWER OF VERBAL MOTIVATION

Verbal = means communicated in the form of words. Motivation = is the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that gives purpose and direction to behavior. Advanced English Dictionary. Walking down alone, along the uneven path of life, people get involved in a series of moments in which they have to take actions or execute their skills and abilities in order to reach certain desired goals. However, being surrounded with negative minded people and results from social pressure like fear, uncertainty, inconfidence, procrastination, and lack of self-stem are some of the most detrimental factors to our lives. These factors have subtle powers that drag, many people who are absolutely able, competent and skilled, down into the abyss and never to rise anymore. There is great power in words, since words attract us to what we say constantly. These organized phonetic sounds we call words which form language, play a prolific r...
