Basically, I'm saying that we believe in love and what not because the people around us believe in love. Our environment, and general way of live teaches us to. That's why we think love exists. Do dogs fall in love? No. Cats? No. Horses? No. Humans? Yes. We fall in love because we are all taught, brought up, and raised in an environment where the goal is sex. And love is equal to sex in our society.
Animals do not fall in love but there is more to their relationships than just reproduction. I've seen animals after their mate/companion has died. They are sad and are not themselves for a few weeks.
Love does not equal sex, sorry, it doesn't. People have sex for two reasons. 1. Reproduction 2. Pleasure. I was not raised to believe that all there is to a relationship is sex. Maybe you were but I was not.
If people only care about sex then how can you explain why we look for support, care, love and friendship in relationships? Is that just something we are made to think? That we do not really need those things?
