Psychologists say that love is the strongest emotion.

Humans experience a range of emotions from happiness to fear and anger with its strong dopamine response, but love is more profound, more intense, affecting behaviors, and life-changing. Love involves a drive for contact, and physical intimacy as primal as hunger and thirst, explains psychologist Zick Rubin. In his view, care for others elevates love to a higher level, making possible a society where people in love care as much about each other’s needs as they do their own. Psychologist Elaine Hatfield identified two kinds of love. The first manifests in displays of compassion. Compassionate love is characterized by mutual respect, attachment, affection, and trust. In the publication Verywell Mind, author Kendra Cherry writes that “compassionate love usually develops out of feelings of mutual understanding and shared respect for one another.” The once-a-century pandemic has elicited every emotion known to man, from sadness and fear to surprise. Yet there is ample evidence that the tragedy that has made 656 million ill and claimed 6.7 million lives at rates up to 10,000 per day in some regions — has strengthened our bonds of compassionate love. I correspond weekly with tea professionals and enthusiasts in hundreds of cities and villages in dozens of countries. COVID has wreaked havoc everywhere; the threat is rising again. China is most at risk. Still, everyone on earth is now acutely aware of our vulnerability and human frailties from personal experience — often tragic and personal. Invariably those I contact express concern for my well-being and those I love. I do the same, no longer as a perfunctory salutation but with heartfelt concern. Tea drinkers worldwide are thoughtful people, socially active, and attuned to the needs and interests of others. They experience life deeply and appreciate its simple pleasures. The ritual and silent meditation that accompanies a break for tea encourages self-reflection. These times also call for selfless reflection as we count our blessings and consider the sacredness of our time on earth.

Happy Valentine’s Day,

How do I know if I fell out of love?

Signs you're falling out of love. You're less interested in spending time with them. You're thinking about them less and less. They start to feel like a burden. Their behavior is increasingly annoying to you. You feel like you're just going through the motions. You're no longer having meaningful conversations. More items... •

Sometimes, we find ourselves at an emotional crossroads with our relationship's future. At times, this has nothing to do with your partner and their behavior. Maybe they didn't betray your trust or fail at good communication. The romantic uncertainty might just be coming completely from you, which can make you feel even worse. To an extent, uncertainty is normal. Every relationship has periods of ambivalence, according to Jane Greer, Ph.D., a family and marriage therapist based in New York City. Questioning the nature of your romantic feelings for your partner can be caused by a flurry of things, like a big change in your own personal life (such as a tragic loss or major career move), a difficult fight, or maybe developing a crush on someone else. In this moment, the circumstantial confusion can sometimes cloud our understanding of how we feel about our partner. "Being able to sort out the ambivalence is at the heart of every relationship," Greer tells mbg. "What is the degree of ambivalence, and can you get back to loving feelings?" That is the big question to ask yourself. Below are some signs that come about when you are falling out of love, according to therapists.
