Why do people cherish things




















In her study, Afshar measured attachment using six kinds of value an object might bring someone: sentimental, service, social status, social interaction, sales price, and self-concept. Objects can offer more than one kind of value at a time, of course. Some of the most pictured Burning House objects are laptops and smartphones, and replaceability is one factor that distinguishes them. But while people were attached to their connected devices, they were also pretty willing to trade them in for newer models, or replace them if they got lost.

People get attached to their computers and phones because of what they can do, not because of what they are. These things are enabled by the object, but have little to do with what it physically is.

Perhaps, though, this is just a new manifestation of something people have always valued about their objects—a representation of human connection. Like letters, laptops, cameras, musical instruments. Things people use to be heard with, like a cell phone. Csikszentmihalyi told me a story of two widows he interviewed in Chicago who lived in the same building, five stories apart. In general I think a lot of the pop science you find online is biased, intellectually dishonest riddled with half truths presented out of context or logically flawed interpretation of data etc.

Really at last i knew about love, its so crazy that love is also an chemicals, but thanks a lot for giving me knowledge about love. You may not want to or choose to, but, it is possible. However, there are deeper bonds that have finer elements that are missing in the article.

There is a spiritual element to love that draws us to each other that has to do with a fundamental energy in our bodies that may be difficult to measure directly.

This spiritual component is one that usually develops over time and can becomes a bond that is so strong that it defies metrics and yet we feel it almost as tangible as a tie that binds.

We can not truly understand love without the spiritual components. Good work. I wonder what of unrequited love. A constant flow of unrewarded loved up chemicals with no real check to their balance. No intimate relationship problems , hurdles to numb the flow.

There are also infinite other issues affecting your love choices aside from hormones such as how much your parents showed affection, whether your family had a father figure, on and on. This is basic neurobiology. The comments on here are absolutely unreal. I told a friend of mine that I had an intuition to her loss of appetite and this is it. I hope she reads this comment. God created everything, and His creation was perfect and wonderful. But then man sinned, and continues to sin, and blaspheme and rebel.

But they seem to be all over the Internet. Hey Ambar, Even what you call science and all of its disciplines, were created by God and understood by scientists for most of history. It was Columbus who read in the bible that God created the spherical earth in both Isaiah and the book of Job, that caused him to ask of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain.

His scientific journey and discovery was motivated by what he read in his bible. Isaiah It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; who brings princes to nought, and makes the rulers of the earth as nothing.

Prophet Isaiah written approximately B. Job He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. The list of scientific facts in the bible, starting from the book of Genesis all the way through to the last book, have facts that modern science only recently have corroborated. If you were scientific, you would investigate the truth of the claims given in the historically accurate recordings of the Bible.

An unbeliever, atheists, will never accept the truth of God because their minds are darkened. Only Christ can remove the blindness from a person and give them eyes that truly see things as they are.

Columbus got lost. A circle is not a sphere. Conflating science with religion and visa versa renders neither science or religion. Physical v metaphysical are very real distinctions. Science cannot save a soul and religion cannot produce science. The capacity to distinguish or i. Matters of faith are choice based. Matters of physical fact offer no choice but to accept the truth of the matter. Facts are not subject to imagination but rather to the rigors of repeatable physical observation.

The conflation of religion and science, especially if one subscribes to an overarching power and force, is a recipe for confusion, distortion and error. To conflate realms is to attempt to study the nature of pure water by stirring in a spoonful of pollutants. Such an attempt will foil any progress toward a greater understanding of the nature of pure water. Please stop stirring up contempt for the scientific study of pure nature with the pollutants of religious and litigious speculation based in a choice of faith; a choice, by the way, to which I also subscribe but retain the good sense to discern the dichotomy between realms.

Science will never save soul but it can and has saved my life many times over. Religion has never saved my physical life, at least in physically observable terms and it never will.

Please allow science and scientists the physical space needed to discover physical truths of this universe absent your attempts to run interference with nebulous, at best, and nefarious, at worst, injections of your fallacious heroes like the lost Christopher Columbus or your paternal fathers of faith beginning with a clueless Adam who was essentially the intellectual equivalent of a chimp before being tossed by a metaphysical God from the famed Garden of Eden to survive by his own primitive wits.

To date, no tool better than our system of science exists to help humans find their way through existence in a very physical world. The fact that you linked a breitbart article proves that your comments are invalid.

If you really want to prove your points then I suggest that you find reputable sites that showcase them. Luteinizing hormone stimulates egg release ovulation , which usually occurs 16 to 32 hours after the surge begins.

The estrogen level decreases during the surge, and the progesterone level starts to increase. Everything we do, consciously and unconsciously, is the result of a systematic reaction to biochemical programing at the cellular level, and beyond.

We are born, we procreate or not , we die. Everything in between is a mirage! I lost my 6 years relationship during April. My ex left me with so much pains and since then i have been heart broken and shattered.

I have contact 15 spell casters and 10 of them has rip me off my money without any result. I was very shocked when Robben called four days after i sent Prophet Aluta the items money. He apologies for all he has done wrong and i am very happy that we are together today because he proposed to me last night.

What happens if this prophet God forbid dies? What can this chemistry say about the 5 love languages: time, gifts, acts of service, touch, and words of encouragement. Is this because of individuals environment, upbringing or what?

I have one doubt what happens to brain when men attract towards men… is there any hormones changes or hormones problem? This is a great inspiring article. I am pretty much pleased with your good work. You put really very helpful information. Keep it up. Keep blogging. Looking to reading your next post.

Welcome to the internet I suppose. To say that reproduction is the evolutionary basis of lust is just inaccurate. Reproduction does not drive lust. Men are not attracted to women because of reproduction and vice versa. This is heteronormative nonsense that has been perpetuated by heteronormative and the illogical religious beliefs that established the foundations of social norms. People for decades have given into tht ridiculous notion.

Lust and reproduction are not the same thing and are not related. A man doesnt even have to touch a woman in order to get her pregnant. Heterosexual activity does not HAVE to happen in order for a baby to be produced nor do you need people to be heterosexual in order to take care of and raise offspring. So let me get this straight, the neural chemicals in my head are all I need to love someone. Our lives are spent craving it, looking for it, and dreaming about it. Its importance is sensed rather than it is evidently articulated.

In fact, romantic love appears to be a mysterious wonder we find difficult to understand. People are the objects on which we place wear and tear. Conversely, our objects are our most coveted items, evident in the way we treat our expensive shoes with extra care; we get screen protectors and covers for our phones; we spend hundreds of dollars to appeal to cultural trends.

At the end of the day, we live under the impression that the people in our lives -- the same people we use without regard -- will always be here.

We think we need not be careful with their emotions because people are selfish in the end, right? People hold the power to say when enough is enough; people can take care of themselves. Ultimately, we believe we have no reigning influence on the people in our lives. Why have we become such soulless individuals? It's because objects can't hurt us; they can't leave us, and when we invest forever to an object, in a way, we believe in that unreciprocated sense of forever.

When we're happy, time moves so fast. When we're down, it feels like time stands still. Maybe time is to blame for how inadequate we've become at cherishing relationships and maintaining bonds. In a way, time is really just about how we feel. Love is a set of emotions and behaviors characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust. Love can vary in intensity and can change over time. It is associated with a range of positive emotions, including happiness, excitement, life satisfaction, and euphoria, but it can also result in negative emotions such as jealousy and stress.

When it comes to love, some people would say it is one of the most important human emotions. Yet despite being one of the most studied behaviors, it is still the least understood. For example, researchers debate whether love is a biological or cultural phenomenon. Love is most likely influenced by both biological drives and cultural influences.

While hormones and biology are important, the way we express and experience love is also influenced by our personal conceptions of love. What are some of the signs of love? Researchers have made distinctions between feelings of "liking" and "loving" another person.

Based on this view of romantic love, Rubin developed two questionnaires to measure these variables, known as Rubin's Scales of Liking and Loving.

While people tend to view people they like as pleasant, love is marked by being devoted, possessive, and confiding in one another. Not all forms of love are the same, and psychologists have identified a number of different types of love that people may experience.

Some researchers suggest that love is a basic human emotion just like happiness or anger, while others believe that it is a cultural phenomenon that arises partly due to social pressures and expectations. Research has found that romantic love exists in all cultures, which suggests that love has a strong biological component.

It is a part of human nature to seek out and find love. However, culture can significantly affect how individuals think about, experience, and display romantic love. There is no single way to practice love.

Every relationship is unique, and each person brings their own history and needs. Some things that you can do to show love to the people you care about include:. Love, attachment, and affection have an important impact on well-being and quality of life. Loving relationships have been linked to:.

Lasting relationships are marked by deep levels of trust, commitment, and intimacy. Some things that you can do to help cultivate loving relationships include:.
