Do you think love exists outside of biology?

[snekers]

I’m not talking about attraction, hormones, or evolutionary mating strategies.

Those are obvious: dopamine, oxytocin, reproduction, survival.

I mean love as something non-biological.

Something that exists beyond chemical reactions and self-interest.

If you remove sex drive, loneliness, social conditioning, fear of being alone
is there anything left that can honestly be called love?

Or is love just a socially acceptable word for biological dependency and ego validation?

I’m genuinely curious how people define it once biology is stripped away.

Closest thing to this is a mothers' love for her children

No. People want to believe that it extends past your biology, but it doesn't.

nope

It doesn’t come closer than any other feeling
