Love Science

Love Science studies the over 200-types of love, and the many ways individuals can love and be loved.
Individuals who practice love science are called love scientists and they have discovered that the brain processes love neurochemically and neuroelectrically and changes the body's biochemistry in ways that improve the biological, emotional, and mental states of both humans and animals.

Love is an emotion, thus fundamentally irrational, illogical, and unmathematical.

Love can transcend moral or written laws and in some instances, it does not make sense.

Humans feel love for an individual who they calculate can help them or provide them with something they need.

Said differently, individuals feel love feel love when and because they want something from the person, place, or thing they start to feel love for.

Interestingly, after a person "falls" in love, they lose some or much self-control, connect with their love object, and feel a strong need to give different things to them, thus creating a cycle which makes the love mutual and allows the two or more participants to grow.

perceptual distortion

When an individual perceives a person, place, or thing, or him or herself in a way that is different than the way most other people perceive it.
When he got to his 60s, the many failures he suffered in his life distorted how he perceived his surroundings, individuals, and many other things. That is called perceptual distortion.

European-Americans

The counterpart to the term African-Americans. Members of the Anglo-Saxon race who were either born in or live in the United States of America.
Do any Black Americans realize that referring to them as "African-Americans" insinuates that even if they were born in the United States of America they continue to be foreigners? What would happen if mainstream media started referring to White Americans as "European-Americans," as in, "Though in the United States of America the quantity of Latinos (16.3%) now surpasses the number of African-Americans (12.6%), European-Americans comprise 72.4% and Asians comprise 4.8% of the population (2010 Census). Notice that Latinos and Asians have not been inflicted with or infected by a hyphen.

rewording

Rewording and/or not mentioning a word, a person's name, a situation or an event can control or revise reality or the past.
Rewording the phrase, "I want to fuck you" to "I want to make love to you" or "I want to engage in sexual intercourse with you" and expressing the rewritten one produces different expectations and ways of feeling, thinking, and acting.

Legally Happy

When an individual feels happy doing something legal.
Knowing that playing music after 11:00 P.M. would be make him illegally happy, the teenage boy raised the volume of the music he was listening to and was legally happy knowing that from 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. the police, enforcing the laws, allowed anyone to play music below 8 decibels.

Consumer Self-Isolation

To get consumers to go buy things,

via the media,
corporations make individuals feel

so superior to most people

they feel disgusted of others

and stop interacting with them.
The glorification of movie stars, and the innate—it seems—cognitive bias that makes everyone think they're better than almost everyone else, help induce "consumer self-isolation".

romance is a business

Romantic relationships are a business because every man and every woman in a romantic relationship does all they can to get the most from the other person and give much or little in return. (Dear Urban Dictionary Staff: This definition and the sentence below are edits to my original post)
ROMANCE IS A BUSINESS because many people who fall in love start giving the most they can to the person they fell in love with without asking for something in return, the true purpose at the core of falling in love is always to at some point get or take the most from the person they fell in love with.
