Why is our heart organ a symbol of love? And in other cultures, are there other organs that represent love?

HI:) The heart is well represented as a symbol of love, first of all with our heart beating we are alive, isn't it? second, because when we feel an emotion our heart beats more strongly, might a passion feeling or a fear feeling, etc the heart tell us everything. If you sudlendly see someone that make you fall in love, your heart starts beating so much...for example....\nI think, in other cultures is the same, because we are all humans, i cant give a tecnhical answer because i am not a doctor, but, as we all know, that all starts inside our brain...The other, reason is related with intuition....you never said "i dont know, i felt in my heart"....emotions!!!!

Love does not sees languages. It doesnt sees the color or culture.it looks upon the adjustment from both.

See how your "love" compares with this definition of love:\n\n*** Love is long-suffering and kind. \n\n*** Love is not jealous.\n\n*** Love does not brag nor get puffed up.\n\n*** Love does not behave indecently. \n\n*** Love does not look for its own interests.\n\n*** Love does not become provoked. \n\n*** Love does not keep account of injuries. \n\n*** Love does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. \n\n*** Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.\n\n*** Love never fails.

I think many people do feel that their heart is an indicator of emotions like joy, fear, love, anticipation, gloom, etc. And certainly medicine has found a correlation between long-term stress and heart condition. How the heart detects these conditions, what form its responses take (rate, volume, pressure?), and how we perceive those responses sound like interesting fields of inquiry which some biologists are investigating. See the refs.

yes, because love gives hope, freedom, peace, care.. and time.. love can be a reason why people wanted to be good and worth for the love.. love can set us free form past and face the future and gain back the goodness in our heart.. love can   has its own miracle where love knows nothing but its heartbeat..

Why do some people like hearts the others??\n\nSome people like heart questions. (?'s)\n\nAt first, I thought it might be the blood's reaction to heading to the kidneys. What a waste! After a little research I thought, maybe the blood vessels are increasing the pressure in addition to the heart muscle, more and more as the blood heads to the kidneys because the resistance in the kidney to being pressure cleansed needed additional pressure not needed in other passages of the arteries.\n\nBut, after further research, it appears Answerer 1 is right. UNLESS, the asker is asking what does it mean, what is the condition called when the blood pressure is more in the renal artery. Then the answer should start: When this condition occurs it is outside of healthy artery experience it is called:\n\n"Abnormal pressure in the blood capillaries can result in abnormal exchange of fluids to and from tissues which can result in conditions such as oedema" which I found at the source listed below:\n\nHAH!

Lovers call it by many different names, its defined differently and uniquely by each and every person. Matrimonial ceremonies claim that love is not jealous or boastful. Love is not a gourmet dish, a domesticated animal, or a latest trend. Love is not a strategic defense mechanism nor the best kept secret at the Pentagon. Love is not a seasoning to bottle and stick on the dust lined shelves of the spice rack. Love is not to be confused with adhesive tape.\n\nInstead, love is a great counterpart to late evening thunderstorms on hot July nights. Love goes well with cold pizza on picnic blankets. Love is cold, wet sand between bare toes. Love is a capitalistic sell-all for novels, top 40 pop songs, summer movies and greeting cards.\n\nIn its simplest terms, love is a four letter word. Much like other words of similar letter make up, when expressed it can evoke pleasure, desire, tenderness, laughter, pain, and anger. Love is food for a happy mind. It is kindness, devotion, or affection to another. Love is the most wonderful experience in the world, yet it can hurt you more than anything, physical pain hurts less. Love is sacrifice. Love is quite good if shared between two with trust and understanding, and at the same time dangerous.\n\nLove is so hard to define because its felt, expressed, and viewed differently by each and every person. We all come to know love over time though, the good and the bad side, one way or another.

It goes back to Aristotle in the 400's BC ! He thought that the heart was the basis of emotions.  This notion kind of stuck around, as you have pointed out.

"Love" is the "voluntary" commitment to the welfare of another, to nourish them and give the life.\n\nWhen you are voluntarily committed to another person's welfare, you are "choosing" to "love" them. When you make this choice to give from the heart, your heart is nourished when you give.\n\nThat is why it feels so good when you give.\n\nJ

Wow, this is a hard one! Love is putting that persons needs ahead of yours! Love is feeling something so deep in your heart, that you are about to burst! Love is missing a smell, a look , a touch and never being able to replace it. Love is holding your grandchild for the first time. Love is crying when your child goes to school the first day and leaves you.Love is your cat sitting on your lap and purring so contently. Love is opening your heart to all the possibilities of another human being touching your life in even the smallest way. Love is giving with no expectations. Love is painful and lonely. Love is full of laughter and joy! Love is life and without it, nothing is worth living!

There are no "good hearts" or "bad hearts" -- we are of the human species. We are still evolving. Before we find fault and condemn in another, we must first look into the mirror of our own hearts...all designs of human kind are reflected there.    "An eye for an eye and the whole world is blind." (GANDHI)      Shift just a little and strive to feel, hear and see that the whole world is more than just a little mad and that the only "devils are those running around inside our own heart." (GANDHI)

Love for another person has nothing to do with how you feel about yourself.  Anyone who really, truly loves another person is willing to sacrifice anything for the safety and happiness of that person.  Love for the other person is so deep that the thought of his/her unhappiness is unbearable, as is the thought of continuing to live after that person has died.  This kind of love is selfless, so no matter how much you do or don't love yourself, the other person's needs always come first.

organ. The others actually are organs, while 'organ' is the name of the category they fall into.

Please tell me what scientist proved that love was an illusion. I thought love was a state of mind that one would say they felt from the heart.

What won't we humans do for love?  Think about this, love can be transitory sometimes and when we find love we want to hold onto it with both hands and never let go...because what if it went away?  \n\nI'm sure most of us have known "love" in one form or another and I think I'm correct in assuming that a lot of us have had that love taken away.  Whether a relationship ends, we loose a friend, family member or even a pet.  Sometimes love  just goes away.  So when we find it we don't want to loose it and because these feelings are so strong within us it can bring out the best and worst in our behavior.\n\nSo love in any shape or form is a glorious thing but without it in our lives it's truly a great tragedy.

The love you feel for a person does not literally come from your physical heart. Your physical heart is an organ in your body needed to keep you alive. Love and feelings come from a person's spirit or soul
