Does brain equal behavior? Some people have argued that they have difficulty saying it does because they find it hard to believe that our individual, tangible brain controls emotions that many consider to be intangible, such as being in love. This paper will discuss the role that the brain actually plays in love- why we are attracted to certain people, why we feel the way we do when we are around them, and whether or not this is enough to say that in the case of love, brain does equal behavior.

Throughout most world religions, the topic of love and its various forms have been analyzed in hopes of developing a true appreciation for the sacred. Some writers, specifically C.S. Lewis, devoted much of their work to studying love in a religious sense and how it relates the spiritual and non-spiritual world. Lewis was able to deduct that love was represented in two major forms, earthly and divine. Divine love nurtures all earthly loves and is the means of forming a spiritual relationship with God. Lewis argues that humans dedicate too much love to irrelevant, earthly comforts and yet fail to love what truly matters.

In contrast, Agamemnon found value in war over love by sacrificing his daughter to give his men safe passage to war, which resulted in his wife murdering him upon his return home, and to add to this tragedy, when the chorus of Agamemnon finds Clytaemnestra standing over Agamemnon's bloody corpse with a sword in her hand, she admits this: "I don't deny it, no. He had no way to flee or fight his destiny" (Fagles 693). Agamemnon seeks gratification in his life by sacrificing his daughter for the sake of his men finding glory in war and power over the Trojans, but in doing so he never has the ability to exercise his power because his actions actually led to his own bloody death, a death that left him helpless in the end. Jason depicts another example of a gruesome end by striving for power. By leaving Medea for a princess that would give him a position

Josh saw a potential move and took it, “Austin you go ahead and grab the front, and we can go three in the back.” Unaware of his intentions Sara thought nothing of it, and readily hopped into the far side seat.
