How do you think the social construct of “love” came about?

Sonny: How do you think the social construct of “love” came about?
im just interested in hearing perspectives on the situation, how, and where do you think the social construct that is “love” comes from? where does it originate, and what purpose does it serve? do you believe in the construct? and if you do, is there an obvious definition? wheres the differences between loving french fries and loving your “other half” (if you would use that term)

I would guess it was important in the past, to love the people that could love you back, so that there could be rewards and thus that particular feeling might have progressed heavily on humans.
Now, what is love?

I think (as I feel it) it’s extreme affection without a particular logical and “thought-out” reason.
But the word itself goes through many dissections.
Personally, I have met people who will firmly say that love is nonexistent.

Degrees of loving?
I would think they are like degrees of hating.
Not liking to eat fish and not liking to be harassed.
Each builds on the person very different states of “not liking”.
Perhaps all those states could be categorized? I wonder!

I think all of them (degrees of loving/hating) are asserted from direct responses.
Loving french fries and loving your “other half”.
Both are directly connected to reactions not necessarily physical
i.e thinking about eating french fries and thinking about being with a person.

Yet, all of this is debatable!
