Falling in love, either with an actor or a person in your life, is a biological condition triggered by chemicals. As coldly scientific as that sounds, the condition of leverance has been proven in the lab. It can have many different degrees, but it follows a prescribed biological pattern,

has perpetuated in the genes of our species (and probably in other

species)

as a means of continuing the species. One can fall into the emotional condition known now as 'leverance' under a host of circumstances,

including

weekly exposure to an attractive television character we have come to feel close to and care about. This displacement is a modern phenomenon, but chemically, it's every bit as real as meeting someone you come to regard

as

'the one' (someone you wish to mate with).

So the reason you've been a fan for 20+ years is because you, Leah, are in love with Avon and want to perpetuate the species with him?

We are rational, thinking

creatures--but only recently. We still dwell in a biological engine that can't rely on rational thought for survival, and isn't taking any chances.

A

few thousand years of self-awareness and civilization structure isn't

going

to change that.

You're kidding yourself if you think human beings are rational.
