Frank\'s Theology: Love (General)

I have asked what is the source of love. I find it difficult to believe that it springs from chemicals and electrical impulses, but equally difficult to believe that its origin is an infinite consciousness "running through" my brain, as in Frank's theology. -GEORGE: Love is just the natural need of people to help one another in the struggle for existence. No great mystery there surely?-Once again we're faced with a misunderstanding of the problem. I'm not asking for a sociological or psychological explanation of love. I'm questioning how chemicals and electrical impulses can produce emotions. Or how some non-physical, universal power ... if there is such a thing ... can generate emotional ties between my individual self and other individual selves.-However, I would even question your sociological/psychological explanation. A "natural need to help one another in the struggle for existence" makes love sound like dishing out the minestrone in a soup kitchen. Come on, George, put a bit of feeling into it!
