think ever wonder why people use this icon :heart: to express love. really the heart has little to with love and feelings. these things are totally dependant on the brain..and its responses and awareness.

instead why not say to people...
i brain youbiggrin biggrin biggrin


Cuz that sounds like you want to beat them with a lead pipe or something....lmao

The use of the heart was a marketing idea thought up by Hallmark and a few of the major candy company execs, along with the diamond companies.


:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
yes and i like pink and red..and hearts are pretty...
but the heart aint got nothing to do with love or any thought forming ideas...its allll in the HEAD!!!biggrin biggrin biggrin


Ah. But when you see that one you love, doesn't your heart skip a beat or beat a little faster??


i suppose the heart is capable of chemical disturbances. that is correct.
but its a missed beat..cafeinne does the same thing!!!


LMAO. Wow...yer just a bit of a cynic....lmao

True. Caffeine can make your heart do the same thing. So can arrythmia ( or however that's spelled ).

naw..im a nurse..i used to specialize in heart problems...maybe the heart is in charge of a skipped beat or two (butterflies) but the real emotion comes from the brain.
those neurotransmitters....
can affect all aspect of ones body..

whats a better catch phrase..."u got my chemicals all whacked up" LOL

I'll put it this way. It may be the brain that makes you fall in love, but it is definitely your heart that gets broken when the love stops for some reason.

When your heart stops for long enough, you die. When the love you feel is deep enough, you feel like you would die without it. It's a loose connection, but it was enough to sucker us into the whole Valentine's Day money scam. :-)

Somehow..." you got my chemicals all whacked up " just doesn't seem to have the same ring to it as " you make my heart skip a beat ".

It's all in the marketing. LOL

Love itself isn't. Thinking that you have to " show " your love by buying sh*t..THAT'S the marketing gimmick.

And it amazes me how many people ( men and women ) have fallen for that pitch over the years.

I hear women complain " Well he didn't get me anything for Valentine's Day ".

So what? Basically the only reason you think you should get something ( besides that it would be a nice thing from someone you love ) is because the ad agencies have told you that you should.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't buy someone I love something on that day. I'm not nearly that stupid.

im just saying..I dont think love resides in the heart...
the heart is incapable of such feelings.
the brain is where complex thought originates..and love is a complex emotion.

so to the sales gimic of giving ur :heart: to someone...thats CRAZY!!
give them ur mind and your whole self..nothing more nothing less

Oh I totally agree. The heart is nothing more than a muscle.

But...think about this. Which is the prettier picture? A nice heart shaped ( although I really haven't seen a " heart shaped " heart ) box, or a box shaped like a brain, complete with the folds found on it??

The marketing guys are in that business for a reason. They are the same guys that could sell you olive oil as a cure for herpes if they really wanted to. Science has nothing to do with it.

We may know that the brain controls the chemical combinations that create love, but the marketing guys didn't find that to be an appealing enough image.

Crazy it may be. But how many people would think that not " giving from your heart " would be a good idea on Valentine's Day? Not very many when there are millions upon millions of dollars spent on ad campaigns to convince us otherwise.

So what do you think about this quote?

"What you think, you become."~Buddha

I think our thoughts are a lot more powerful than people may realize. If you think positive thoughts about yourself and believe them, then you become them thoughts. Vice versa goes for negative thinking.

Oooo....that's a GOOD one.

I can actually speak from experience on this one.

When I was in my late teens through late twenties, I was a pretty negative person. All of my thoughts were negative, except for the thought about my daughter. It wound up making me into someone that was not pleasant to live with. I wound up losing my daughter and her mother because of it.

Over the last few years, I have decided that I am who I am. I am a good person. I may be cynical, but I can also use my cynicism to find humor in just about anything. I also know that when the right person comes along, she will see that I am special ( and no, I don't mean " window licker " special ) and deserve the good things in life.

The power of your thoughts can have a major effect on your outlook, and can even have a profound effect on the people around you.
