Love Is More Powerful Than Cocaine

Have you ever been in love? If yes, then you must be knowing that how addictive it feels, what high it gives us but is it correct to compare it to cocaine?

See Love and heartbreak are the two most powerful emotions present in us, we literally do anything when we are experiencing a high of these emotions. When someone says that “I’ll bring Moon and Stars for you” they are not just saying things in air. These things are said in comparison to Willingness of the person to go out of the way to do things, this is the power of this emotion.

Do you know how does a Drug works? They give us a Dopamine( the feel good chemical) rush in our brain and we feel the ultimate sense of satisfaction in life. Love gives a strong sustained peak of dopamine, that is till the moment we are spending time with our mates we feel that high and when we are separate we kind of feel low that is the drop of dopamine that our body experiences.

When people are in love they feel more confident, self assured, in control of the things and above all they feel like nothing is impossible for them. Love gives people a Purpose in life, a vision to work towards, and same is felt with a drug like cocaine, improved social skills, confidence rush, increased libido. These levels of the mentioned feelings and emotions can not be reached without love or without taking these drugs, and that is the reason that when you cut the supply of these drugs the person feels completely drained and at any cost want this drug back in their systems.

Pain caused during heartbreak is very similar to withdrawal effects of the dugs, There is no motivation in life, your confidence is shattered and you ultimately feel Existential crisis. It happens because your brain does not get the dopamine rush it was getting earlier. Your normal functioning mechanism is all screwed up.

So does that mean you should not fall in love?
No it does not mean that, rather what you can do to actually be stabilized when you are in love is that focus on other things also, don’t get too dependent on love to get you that dopamine in your head, instead have a higher purpose in life, and working towards that should give you that dopamine, spend time with friends, spend time alone also in nature, soon you’ll be able to control your chemicals when you are in love and will actually improve the quality of your relationships.

And DON’T DO DRUGS.
