Wallabag | The Power of Kama Muta: Unlocking the Emotion of Love Igniting

In 2012, anthropologist Alan Fiske and his colleagues began a conversation about why we start crying at films with happy endings. They soon discovered that kama muta is triggered by the intensification of social relationships, accompanied by physical sensations such as teary eyes, goosebumps, and warmth in the chest. This emotion may arise in various contexts, including parent-child interactions, religious devotion, communal events, and live music. To cultivate more of this emotion, it is essential to practice active listening and empathy towards others.
