1. Study the vocabulary. Fill in the blanks with the correct words listed.
A. emotions, attitudes, ineffable, attraction, platonic love, affection, pleasure,
states, concept, devotion, caring, desire, closeness, interpersonal
Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection and
attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states,
and attitudes , ranging from generic pleasure (“I loved that meal”) to intense
interpersonal attraction (“I love my wife”). This diversity of uses and
meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love
unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional
states .As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling
of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love,
however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate
desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of
familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious
love. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of … relationships
and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common
themes in the creative arts. (From Wikipedia)
B. intimacy, permanent, share, infatuation, phenomenon, romantic, affairs,
passion, commitment, combinations
Psychology depicts love as a cognitive and social phenomenon. Psychologist
Robert Sternberg formulated a triangular theory of love and argued that love
has three different components: intimacy, commitment, and passion. Intimacy
is a form in which two people share confidences and various details of their
personal lives, and is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs ,
on the other hand, is the expectation that the relationship is permanent,. The
last and most common form of love is sexual attraction and passion .
Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love. All forms of
love are viewed as varying combinations of these three components. (From
Wikipedia)
C. Love or infatuation
range, stomach, revolve, infatuated, relationships, object, crush, excitement,
infatuation, lust, trust, miserable, disilusionment
Infatuation describes the intense range of feelings present at the beginning of
most relationships : sweaty palms, rapidly beating heart, butterflies in the
stomach . The world is a better, more beautiful place because object of your
affection is with you. Every time you touch is thrilling, you remember every
conversation, and your thoughts revolve around them. In more common terms,
this is a crush . Crushes are a very real, normal part of human life. Everyone
experiences at least one crush at some point or another in their lives. Some of
the “symptoms” of infatuation are: feelings of panic, uncertainty,
overpowering lust, feverish excitement , impatience, and/or jealously. When
infatuated, we are thrilled, but not happy, wanting to trust , yet suspicious.
We’re miserable when they’re away, almost like we’re not complete unless
we’re with them. It’s difficult to concentrate. When infatuated we experience a
surge of dopamine that rushes through the brain causing us to feel good.
Chemicals sometimes override the brain activity that governs logic. When the
chemical flood dries up, the relationship either moves into a loving romantic
one or there is disilusionment , and the relationship ends.
