Is love a disease?

[yonkeehoi]

When we partake in unwholesome relationships and long for and stir-up these chemical/endorphin 'highs' is that an addiction - and, as such, is love a disease?

[Cognitive_Canine]

disease would imply bad.

I guess it would depend on your definition of love. I personally don't think love is involved in unwholesome relationships.

It's the best damn disease I've ever been afflicted with.

 

Being in love is a far cry from unwholesome relationships though. I don't see how it relates.

[yonkeehoi]

Certainly everyone here can relate to love sometimes devolving into something less than healthy ... and so unhealthy as to be considered a disease (?)

I don't think love is the cause of unhealthy relationships. More like a lack of it, among other things.

Neediness and dependency, yes. Not love though.

Exactly what I meant.

If love is a disease I sure hope spreads.

[ghost69]

love is addicting with the right person i think. i've felt it.

 

disease though? naw. again, with the right person i wouldn't want a cure.

[Circe]

No..

 

lol my husband used to love this phrase though: "Life is an STD".
