I remember one time at a party, in my early 30s, some guy pops out "isn't love just a social construct?". Looked at him for a moment and said, "ok, I guess. And so?" but he didn't have anywhere to go with it.
It was memorable because we were all like whole ass adults, but he still came off as a 13 year old the whole time.
I would have told him no, I don’t think it is
For real, of all the things to call a social construct, love is a pretty debatable one
The idea of romantic love may be a construct, but love itself is not.
Oh, so my limbic system, parts always talking to each other and to other limbic systems, isn't social enough for you?! My genes, the height of community information transfer, aren't social enough for you? My nucleic acids being created in the void, as stars, the trees of space, jizz-out matter everywhere and swirl it up in their trillion star sex parties, ain't social enough for you?!
We got damn electrons, so horned-up they're just a smear across probability, screaming to get to a proton, all around us, but there's nothing social about that either, right?!
What's an electron gonna do without social desire? What's a single hydrogen gonna do by itself? Gravity, the strong force, they only work together. Nothing is even solid without another particle to observe it. Reality, including love, is a social construct.
We can only do it together.
It is for us to🤝🏽gather.
