Why Love is Powerful?
The human mind is crammed with different emotions. Be it happiness, sadness, love, anger, surprise, fear, or disgust each one of them had always arisen at some moment of life.
All of them are powerful and dangerous if are not handled properly. But if someone asks me which one is the most powerful amongst all? Without a second thought, my answer will be, "love".
Because love is the feeling that can make you addictive dependence on the person whom you love without any intoxication or drugs, it has the majestic power that can gift you the best feeling by releasing oxytocin and dopamine which are well known for happiness, and at the same time, it can kill your soul, bleed your heart and make you paralyzed in every possible way leaving you with an internal unbearable pain.
It has the ability to give birth to many other emotions like anger, jealousy, stress, and anxiety. It represents sacrifice and gratitude.
It can become your biggest strength or may turn out to be your hugest weakness.
