Most of the world population believes that money has the ability of give them happiness. They are convinced that money can bring them all the things they have ever wanted; they also believe they would be happier. If they had more cars, houses, clothes and so on. In this new era people are exposed to all types of money related publicity the 365 days of the year. They can see on TV,magazines, news papers etc… All those programs based on money how to spend it, how to win it, who has more? Who has better things? The glamorous lifestyle of the rich and the famous. It is like if nothing else matters. Nevertheless can money really give them happiness? Or it is an empty way that leads to deception and sadness. Several studies have proved that having more money is not the way toward happiness, it is not the solution to all life problems in fact it makes more. Therefore money is not the creator of happiness as most people believe; it is the creator of more responsibilities and problems.
All these studies reach the conclusion that unless people have no money at all, money will not make them happy, and if people had more money, they would also have more responsibilities. Money is not the root of all evil. As the bible says “the love of money is the root of all evil”. And also the sure path to unhappiness.

Most of the world population believes that money has the ability of give then happiness. They are convinced that money can bring then all the things they have ever wanted, they also believe they would be happier if they had more cars, houses, clothes.
Some of the families even loose all the money they won, and return to the same state of finance as they were before. The experts believe that this happens because they don’t have the financial knowledge they need. Therefore they spent all their fortune in mansions, cars, clothes and in a highly expensive lifestyle. They do not invest the money so sooner than later they ran out of money. There are a few cases in which they even loose more money than they had so they are force to declare them selves in bankruptcy.
The studies concluded that unless you had no money at all, money won’t make you happy, and if you have more money, you will have also more responsibilities.Money isn’t the root of all evil. As the bible says “the love of money is the root of all evil”. And also the sure way to unhappiness.

Scientific love
Love has been known by writers, singers and songwriters (Shakespeare, Lord Byron, The Beatles and others), as the most beautiful feeling of all. Getting flushed cheeks, sweaty hands and a racing heartbeat are some of the exterior signs of being in love. However, according to studies it is inside the body where chemical changes are being produced as signs that indicate internal variations. According to recent studies about this feeling, scientists have found that it is a succession of chemical reactions produced by hormones that are released by the hypothalamus into the brain. One of the best-known researchers in this area is Helen Fisher of Rutgers University in New Jersey, who in the year 2004 published a study titled “The Three Chemical stages of Falling in Love”. In this study, the author portrays love as the product of the interaction of several hormones in the brain; therefore love, more than a feeling is a biochemical reaction due to the specific effect some hormones have in the brain.
One of the first hormones involved is dopamine, which has been commonly associated with the pleasure system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment and reinforcement to motivate a person to perform certain activities. It is also an important part of the biological drive to choose a mate, because love as a fact is a primitive drive like hunger and the biology of love helps account for how people focus on one particular person. Scientists studying the human brain base this view of love on observations of passionate behavior across cultures and most recently findings. In this same line, Helen Fisher did some research using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines to peer into the brain of colleges students in the early stages of love. And obtained the first direct evidence that the mechanisms of love activate particular areas of the brain with a high concentration of dopamine and this hormone is closely tied to states of euphoria, craving an addiction. At the same time, dopamine in this stage is associated with another agent norepinephrine, and these two hormones can have effects like heightened attention and short-term memory, hyperactivity and sleeplessness. When people are first in love, couples show the signs of surging dopamine and norepinephrine; increased energy, less need for sleep or food, focused attention in the smallest details of the new relationship.
On the other hand, people in love have been known to have low levels of serotonin, which is one of love’s most important chemicals and has been associated with chemical imbalances such as depression, anxiety and insanity. This explains why people in love are usually depressed. These effects resemble drug effects on the brain, therefore they are bound to lose the kick and fade quickly in the first three years or so. Then the cravings, the depression and the anxiety go away and the brain activity goes back to normal.
Now when it comes to the part of commitment and long lasting love there are two important hormones that are released by the nervous system that play a role in social attachments. These hormones are oxytocin and vasopressin. The first one is released by the hypothalamus gland by both sexes during orgasm and it is thought that promotes bonding between adults. Ergo the theory that “the more sex a couple has, the deeper their bond becomes” Fisher (2004). Vasopressin has a similar effect, it cements the bond between the two people, creates devotions towards the partner and the instinct to protect one another from new suitors (jealousy).
In conclusion, as a result of biochemical reactions produced by hormones in the body, humankind enjoys this abstract feeling named love. Its effect has perhaps been overrated by the mind, since it has been proved that love, like many other phenomena has a scientific explanation

Development Paragraph First Draft
This recent studies reveal that it is basically a rush of dopamine and serotonin that directs a trigger to the brain causing the sensation of feeling in love and with that also comes sexual desire. Love can be driven by the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen. Although testosterone is not confined only to men, it plays a major role in the sex drive of women. When people fall in love they can not think about anything else but their love. They might even lose their appetite and need less sleep, preferring to spend hours at a time daydreaming about their new lover.
In the attraction stage, a group of neuron-transmitters called “monoamines” play an important role: Dopamine – also activated by cocaine and nicotine- produces a sense of happiness and excitement; Norepinephrine – otherwise known as adrenaline- it makes us sweat and gets the hearth racing; and Serotonin- one of love’s most important chemicals and one that may actually makes us feel out of control.
One of the first hormones involved is dopamine, which has been commonly associated with the pleasure system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment and reinforcement to motivate a person to perform certain activities. It is also a love hormone that is an important part of the biological drive to choose a mate, because love as a fact is a primitive drive like hunger and the biology of love helps account for how people focus on one particular person. This view of love is based on observations of passionate behavior across cultures and most recently findings by scientists studying the human brain.
