LOVE: AN ACT OF WILL, NOT OF HEART

LOVE: AN ACT OF WILL, NOT OF HEART
I have read in the book “questions young people ask” the definition of love. It was stated in that book that love is a choice. If you love a person then that is your choice and if you chose not to love so, then that is still your choice. My stand here is that, love is an act of will.
Scientifically speaking, love is an act of will and not of heart because heart is a mere pumping organ. It has no connection about how you feel. People often mistakenly conceptualize that the center of emotion is the heart which is absolutely wrong. When I was still in second year, I have learned in our social science class that the pain that we feel when we are in hurt is not from the heart. The happiness we feel when we are happy is not from the heart. The giggles we feel when we are in love does not comes from the heart. All of these feelings comes from our Limbic system. Our limbic system is said to be the center of our emotions but still this system is controlled by our brain. So therefore, I have disprove the old line “I love you with all of my heart”. But mind me, there are still a lot of girls who are fooled by that line which is supposed to be “I love you with all of my limbic system”. Sounds funny but it is the naked truth. I don’t know if many people know this fact that heart is not the center of our emotions but I hope that through this article in my blog, I have spread a fact. I thank our social science teacher Mc. Villahermosa for correcting us. If I have not know this fact, I might be one of those girls giggling when hearing the magic lines. But even if it is our Limbic system which is responsible for our emotions, there is still more superior than it and it is our brain. Our Limbic system is still controlled by our brain. Still, no other organ was ever been over our brain, logically and literally. So there is no logic in saying “follow What your heart says”, heart never talks.
I hope I have convinced the readers of this bos that love is still a choice.
