“Thomas Lewis from the university of California hypothizes that romantic love is rooted in our earliest infantile experiences with intimacy, how we felt at the breast, our mother’s face, these things of pure unconflicted comfort that get engraved in our brain and that we ceaselessly try to recapture as adults. According to this theory we love not so much because of the future we hope to build, but because of the past we hope to reclaim. Love is reactive, not proactive. It arches us backward, which may be why a certain person just feels right or feels familiar. He or she has a certain look or smell or sound or touch that activates buried memories.”
