This is why that other stuff matters.

But at root, and again, love is nothing more than an emotion that reflects the sexual attraction to a person.

Love also bonds people together so they can work as a society, or live as a group. Its one of the most important emotions.

No, that is not the emotion.

That is a combination of emotions and memories. Ideas.

You are denying something with no argument.

Not really.

Emotions are simple responses to stimuli-- Thoughts are complex ones.

Emotions are innate-- thoughts are not, and are extremely subjective.

The "love" you are talking about is a thought, not an emotion triggered by the release of euphoria in the presence of a sexually appealing person.

Just a note to O's comment earlier that love is the most positive emotion. No emotion has a positive/negative factor, because there is always the exact opposite of the high/low of the emotion, which evens out the positive/negative factor.

EDIT: PACHOW! 100th post.

Doesn't make sense. 100$ actually exist on your bank account. They're not just void because it's possible to have -100$. You might never be at -100$, but still have those 100 bucks.

No, no, no. Incidents can be positive/negative, but the emotion itelf is neutral. Assume a spherical person, and assume you can have a possible factor of 100 in the love emotion. That means you can have -100 as well, un-love, per se, which means that, on average, love is a neutral emotion.

No. No. No. Love is a positive emotion in and of itself because it is directly linked to the evolutionary purpose. Negative love does not exist. It doesn't make sense even as a theoretical concept. Only hate exists, but that is a completely different emotion. Then there are various negative emotions that can be triggered in the course of love but this doesn't affect the emotion of love at all.

Again Seismosaur, you still have no argument, just statements.

There's more to the feeling than sexual attraction, much more. Love is essentially, primarily, meant for the family and in whole the tribe to protect itself. Love of ones country enables the country to protect itself. It's not sexual, it's unconditional selflessness. It's a genuine feeling that their happiness means your happiness.

Maybe I need to state my thesis better: In terms of natural selection, the more potent this feeling that someone else's (your spouse or children) comfort, the more they have to outcompete the others. It's not just an obligation, but an unconditional compulsion to make them happy because they mean so much. Our genes are set by evolution to make us find someone and need them more than the sun.

Utter misery...

Again-- The emotion "Love" does none of these things. It is affected by them, but does not express or exemplify them.

You are, once again, thinking of "Love" as a thought, not the emotion.

If you can't deal with that then oh well.

I believe he and most of the thread are concerned with "romantic love", the emotional representation of immense sexual attraction associated with one or more fellow human beings.

It's a feeling.

Those are comments I have made on that feeling.

It is a compulsion that exists inside the system that is not sexual. Like other feelings, it has its own special concoction of hormones that it serves you when it snags you. Part of that concoction is to send blood to your gonads, sure, but there's more to it. There's girls that send blood to my gonads all the time without me loving them. I'm sexually attracted to every girl I sleep with, and every girl I've had a relationship with, but there's only a few girls in my entire life that I'd say I loved. The mixture is different and much more potent, it wigs you out.

Love doesn't break your heart. Feeling hurt does, or losing someone. You're essentially saying that feeling cheerful can make you feel sad because you run over a dog while in a blissful state. It doesn't seem to make much sense. It's like saying that getting born might cause you to die and that you are thus already dead once you are born.
