Love addiction—this phrase may seem strange to some. Isn't love a bright feeling? And what does addiction have to do with it? The fact is that in some languages, the entire gamut of experiences/feelings/states related to love is compressed into a single word. In reality, however, distinguishing between these states requires the introduction of a host of other words ("markers") and descriptions. The bright feeling described by A.S. Pushkin in his poem "I Loved You..." is clearly not the same as the manic attraction described by S. Zweig in his story "Amok." Zweig described the mechanism at work in all love addictions, which are based not on sincere feelings, but on wounded pride. It's about a sudden change: wounded pride, demanding retribution, abruptly transforms into blinded humiliation. The man, crushed by this mechanism, "felt as if possessed by a fever," and "lost the ability to control his actions." He no longer had control over himself, no longer understood himself, but ran forward like a man possessed, seeing only one goal before him. He described his state with the term "amok." "Amok" is "more than intoxication... it is a frenzy reminiscent of a dog's... a fit of senseless, bloodthirsty monomania that cannot be compared to any other form of alcohol poisoning..." On the other hand, the presence of such dark pages in human stories should not lead to disillusionment with the very possibility of love. And to distinguish between various experiences/feelings/states, and to separate one from another, one must embark on a journey through life stories, in some of which one manifests itself, and in others, another.
