Quarter 3- Journal 2: Loving

Last night, I was at a sleep over. The statement wasn't analyzed too much, but someone said "you can't love with your heart, you love with your brain." and to an extent, that makes sense. Biologically, your heart is just an organ, and therefore can't really feel things. Your brain is what analyzes the person you love, from all the feelings you get when you see them, talk to them, or if you're just with them. But why is it then, that if you think you love someone, and you think about them, that you feel it in your heart? Is it because your brain sends messages to your body, saying that it should be felt in your chest cavity, or is it because we actually love with our hearts, and lust with our brains. I am convinced that some part of us must love, and it cannot be our brains. Our brains are such selfish tools, and I feel as though they function for what's best for they body they're in. I think love is selfless, and therefore you must love with something else. And since the symbol for love is a heart, why not say that we do, indeed, love with our hearts?
