Actually, I agree with you.
I know love exists, as far as I'm concerned, and I feel I can verify that through the feelings/emotions I have for my wife.
But here's the thing. You guys are trying to prove/disprove whether or not an EMOTION exists.
Seriously. Think about that for a second. How can you prove or disprove the existence of an emotion?
I can say that pain doesn't exist. I can say that and back it up with proof. There are people born every day with a condition that leaves their nerve receptors unable to transmit tactile sensory experiences.
These people usually die early in life because they'll accidentally cut themselves and not realize it. This isn't science fiction, but documented Medical fact. For these people, there is no such thing as pain.
But, if you've experienced pain, then of course you'd be like "Bullshit, there is such a thing as pain" blah blah blah.
Truth is, you can't say love doesn't exist. You can say you don't KNOW love, haven't experienced it, haven't really seen it as far as you're concerned, but that's as far as you can run with it.
You can't disprove an emotion. You'd have to have the ability to experience everything every sentient being has ever felt since the beginning of time to confirm or deny the existence of love.
Now, if you can do that, not only will I believe you, but I'll be impressed.
