How do you view love? Is it a strong bond or just a positive feeling? Scientifically, it can be caused by the release of chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin etc. Do you think chemical reactions would make you give up your life for your friend? What is your take on this topic?

Whether it is caused by chemicals or not does not matter atall. What matters is how you reciprocate the love. I have heard of psychopaths who love to slaughter people. What is responsible for people loving to slaughter, destroy, etc? dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin?
Now you can see real love is much more than that. It is about unconditional kindness, mercy, care, etc to anything that want kindness, mercy, care etc
No amount of dopamine, serotonin etc would make a bad person love what they hate.
