Scientific temper describes an attitude which involves the application of logic. Something each and everyone should inculcate so that this society can rise up as a whole. Try googling the so-called facts and news you receive and verify before you share. It's high time we open our eyes. #we_are_all_blind

Sternberg's Theory of Love

Let me make it clear, it's not just the romantic love we associate with couples. Psychologists try to cook up theories to explain all those things that go inside our human brain and as per Stenberg's Triangular Theory, there are 8 types of love. Varied by the combination of three factors. Intimacy: described as the feelings of closeness and attachment to one another. Passion: associated with either physical arousal or emotional stimulation. Commitment: involves a conscious decision to stick with one another. eg: Consummate love is the ideal love in a long term relationship, Compassionate love is the love between two best friends.
