Rosey, certain regions of the brain will always be affected when someone is shown/thinking about a stimulus - that's the job of the brain and rather than jumping with glee, we should be worried if it didn't react to something. The fact that the brain reacts to anything and everything is the basis of behavoiral screening mechanisms at airports. That's not so say you can't "supress" these feelings though. As many people know, it is possible, with some practice, to fool a lie detector.
Why is is not possible to "control love and feelings of love"? What makes love so different from our other emotions such as anger or guilt? With regards to anger, people attend anger management classes in order to re-gain control over their feelings. And as for guilt, it is a well known fact that the amount of guilt felt by a murderer is inversely proportional to his/her "kill count". Yes, emotions and impulses are as natural and involuntary as breathing. However, akin to breathing, it is possible to control them. Why is love given such a heavenly status above all other feelings and emotions? Love is irrational and illogical. It is known to warp morals and impair judgement. And yet, in spite of this, people choose to be governed by this feeling - blindly obeying any of it's commands. Mind over heart - any day, place or time zone.
