i agree, if your point is that love is fabricated.
i beleive in the common values and whatnot of love. but i do not think it is part of human nature to love. loving someone is basically being strongly attracted to somone and never being annoyed by them and then your brain taking off from there. we're a reproductive species, not a romantic one. naturally speaking. socially, it is very different. i think. okay.

You can often substitute the word love for obsession.

eh.. it is situational.
which is why no one can "define true love"
they say it is because it's an unexplainable feeling when really it's just them making themselves cling to something.

You're very right. It is very situational. It doesn't apply when to a mother loving her child, or vice versa. But does that mean that love does exist on some level?

i'm referring to "romantic" love. it is still entirely situational. i'm just saying that it isn't a defined thing like any actual emotions and it is just a word we find appropriate and like to use.

yes, that's exactly my point.
out of all the creatures in the world, we're the only ones that pretend to love or be in love.
we're so silly.

How would you really know if we were the only ones? Plenty of animals show signs of caring for one and other.

well, yea i guess there is no certain way of knowing if certain
emotions like love exist in animals.
but there's definitely companionship in animals. at least in mammals; i don't know about the other classes, but i'm more talking about a love that involves things like intimacy, creativity, respecting needs, etc.
i guess it all just depends on your definition of love.

I hate to quote The Matrix and all, but there was a good quote. "Love is just a word. Whats important is the connection that it implies."
I don't know. I hated to quote it, but *Shrug*.

I am agreeing that the meaning of love is completely situational, yet giving a further explanation for my agreeing. And I hate when people quote movies like the matrix to explain something, but I couldn't think of a better way to put it.
