'''Dopamine''' is a [[neurotransmitter]] present in a wide variety of animals, including both vertebrates and invertebrates. It gives us reward and pleasure, which without, would leave us seemingly unmotivated. Life essentials such as food, drink, sexual intercourse, and the like would be pushed aside if it were not for dopamine. God has placed a desire to not only exist but to live inside each person. We have a desire to not only survive, but to continue the human race. Each person has a life filled with gifts of pleasure from God. He lets us have pleasure not only so that we may survive but also that we may find happiness in our favorite song, or discover some simple peace in a walk on the beach. God has given us the potential for motivation and joy and a big part of making that possible for us all is through the utilization of dopamine in the brain.

Dopamine is the essential "drug" of the brain. It gives us reward and pleasure, which without, would leave us seemingly unmotivated. Life essentials such as food, drink, sexual intercourse, and the like would be pushed aside if it were not for dopamine. God has placed a desire to not only exist but to live inside each person. We have a desire to not only survive, but to continue the human race. Each person has a life filled with gifts of pleasure from God. He lets us have pleasure not only so that we may survive but also that we may find happiness in our favorite song, or discover some simple peace in a walk on the beach.
