It's a strange phenomenon that the same person can either drain you of energy or refresh you.
How can you break down the dynamics of communion between two people into chemicals and biological processes?
I'm sure some scientist has pinpointed all the little chemical pathways that instigate emotional responses, but is an emotional response a predictable process? Can you predict what a particular situation will elicit from different individuals?
I should have paid more attention in biology.
But something in me rebels from the thought that my experience boils down to a chemical. Somehow that is too simple to account for the richness of living. Or maybe I underestimate chemicals. Or maybe I don't like thinking that all the wonderful feelings and experiences I live can be teased out of some tube under a fluorescent light in a chemistry lab. Seems to cheapen my value or worth.
Why do I respect things I don't understand?
Why do I keep writing this babble?
