    Roses are red, violets are blue, but O’Connor’s tale paints romance a new hue. If you are reading a story that ends with ‘they all lived happily ever after’ you can bet it’s not the read The Life You Save Might Be Your Own. The author shows us that love doesn’t guarantee happiness and in fact it could curse us. Through this ironic mockery of love, Flannery O'Connor illustrates a new style of this genre: a fairy tale aways from a fairy tale, average looking lovers, a greedy mother, and no, there is no hero nor happily ever after. First and foremost, there was no true love within the entire story.…

    Aleksandra Tyzkiewicz Social Psychology 9.08.2015 INTRODUCTION Many people have been strongly attracted to someone, maybe even in love. The main problem is that these two are separated by a very thin line, as a matter of fact many people confuse attraction with love. These people believe that the feelings they have for the other person are so strong that they passed the attraction phase and walked into what is so called “love”. These feelings usually lead to relationships and this is what psychologists have been trying to explain; they say that a relationship is characterized by “love, care, commitment and intimacy” and only then it can be classified as consummate love, which means that all of these characteristics are present. This paper…

    The new definition of Love, introduced by Barbara Fredrickson, in “Love 2.0,” not only presents the scientific analyzes of the brain’s response to positive connections, but also a unique perspective of what love actually is. The unfamiliar standpoint about how love is “forever renewable” (108) and how “[it is] not unconditional” (108) refines how love is interpreted and perceived. Fredrickson presents an ongoing juxtaposition from both ends of love and strongly states that “love is a single act performed by two brains,” (113). It is true that micro-moments of love lead to good health, but love relationships and long-term health in light of this micro moment emphasis – especially – are never constant and are always changing; simply because one…
