Love has also evolved to a survival mechanism because people want love for safety and security reasons. In one study, results were found that when a person is deeply in love they have trouble focusing and performing tasks that require attention; so, in a way love can make you dumber. Love is also extremely powerful that it gives you a kind of “high”. Scientists have evaluated MRI’s and seen that the same nerve system that is linked to cocaine addiction is active when a person is in love, giving them an intense happiness, like a high. Likewise, love can also reduce pain. There was another study that showed areas of the brain become active when in love, that are the same areas that drugs target to numb pain. Love can also make a person do acts that they would not usually be willing to do, just to impress or make their significant other happy. When a person is in love, their heartrate will also match their partners heartbeat, so their hearts are beating at the same time and pace. Finally, when a person is in love, their pupils will dilate when they see that certain person that they are in love with (Howard). Love

He discusses the different types of “smarts” referred to in his paper as street smarts, and school smarts.

a home is made from love. A home is made of love, sorrow, laughter, excitement, hope, care, atmosphere and feelings of everyone. A home reflects your personality. When a guest enters in the house, he/she comes to know what sort of person you are. A home is a place to rest. There's no place except home which seems like heaven to us.
