Love can be either of two things, one optimistic, one pessimistic. The optimistic approach is that love is the height of attachment to a person. You'd die for that person, you'd die to be with that person. Love makes even the most boring spontaneous, the most cynical hopeful, the most logical a ball of emotions. It just has that effect on people, and it is arguably the greatest thing a person can experience, that complete devotion to someone else, it is so special words can barely describe it.
Pessimistic view is completely biological. It is just chemicals in the brain pumping us with endorphins just so we want to reproduce and continue the species. Simple, logical, effective.
Depending on my mood I subscribe to both of these, more the prior rather then the latter for the last couple of years, as I have some faith in humanity now, plus the first one has a lot more potential for future happiness.
