You're right. Technically love and other emotions are just chemical reactions in the brain. And certainly not some supernatural force that can bend the laws of nature. But that doesn't make them any less real. The emotion "love" is a powerful driving force. It has motivated people to do good things. It has helped people get through difficult situations. It has made a lot of people happy, and helped make difficult things in life bearable. I may not have felt a strong, romatic love towards someone yet, but I do know that it is real and can make you and others very happy. And while this does count for any emotion, without love and/or compassion our species, and others, might not have ended up like this. We might have slaughtered each other a long time ago.
