Love does not exist

REBUTTALS MY opponent said:: how do you prove that the mothers who aborted their baby or gave them away had love for their baby? now, A mother who aborts his baby, have no single love for either the baby or the person who impregnated her. Based on the definition of love, which my opponent stated, if that mother love the child, she won't do anything harmful to the child because my opponent said: 'love does exist'. My opponent equally made this statement '. Love is an emotion because it fits the description of an emotion. I could call a car a boat, but either I would be changing the definition of what a car is, or I would not be accurately describing what a car actually is. In this case, love is an emotion. Don't rely on just what I say, look at what the definition of an emotion is and see if love fits the description.. POINT OF CORRECTION, I beg to disagree with what my opponent said. I Gave definition of love and emotion then I compared the two and gave reasons why emotions and love are not the same. I don't know why my opponent is still repeating his argument which I have earlier rebutted. MORE ARGUMENTS I have come to the conclusion that love does not exist. I say this because if you look at the fail rate of marriage and every other relationship it is huge. >50% of all marriages fail. What people term Love actually is only old-fashioned lust, desire, extreme frendliness. Eventually all people who claim to 'love' will end up just being great friends, no more 'loving' to each other than two best mates. Studies have shown that couples who marry on the basis of "Love" do NOT last as those whom marry on the basis of mutual compatibility. The same studies went on to conclude, albeit controversially, that couples who use "Love" as a reason to be together would rather be better of apart, because such relationships never last. An ideal relationship is when both partners consider themselves to be best of friends firstly, and good bed mates secondly. It will interest you to know that the western world who gave us the concept of love have the highest divorce rates today, yet love is practised there. So it therefore means that there is no correlation whatsoever between love and a sustained relationship. In India, arranged marriages is the norm, yet India has the lowest divorce rates worldwide.. Let me ask, ! How can something that exists be interpreted differently by different people? Surely, if it does exist, it should have one objective definition. Love is just a western word for lust, friendship, e.t.c. but rather than calling it lust or friendship, we glorify it by saying it is love. It is a vain delusion. NOTE: This is not a generalization, but a product of widely available scientific papers. >50% of marriages in the western world end up in divorce, this data was compared to India where 90% of marriages do NOT end up in divorce, and the conclusion seems to reveal that the "Love delusion" remains the sole culprit. I am not trying to preach a gospel of "repentance" to those who would rather continue in their delusion, I am only showcasing a scientific perspective. www.nairaland.com/710247/love-does-... answers.yahoo.com/question/index%3F...
