I've always wondered if our feelings have something more deeper then a simple chemical being released in our brain or chemical reaction taking place in our body. Are feelings of love and happiness simply a matter of how much seritonine we have, how much dopamine we release.. etc? Is there anything else to feelings asides from these chemicals? I feel as if everything we feel is associated with a chemical in our body and there are no "true" feelings. If I want to feel happy I could simply take a drug to produce more of this chemical in my brain. What is the difference between artificial happiness and true happiness?
I always thought love and happiness were these mystical feelings. But it turns out there's an explanation of how they work. This kind of ruins all the fun of how things work... maybe there are things we shouldn't know as humans.. Next thing you know we'll be able to program ourselves with chemicals and nanotechnology to think and feel however we want!
