Like I said, I don't believe that Love exists in the "magical" sense.
The effects that can be observed:
Parents caring for and protecting their children.
Their children reciprocating this affection.
The feelings shown between two partners.
Like I said, I don't believe love exists in the
empirical sense. It is something that we feel, in the same way that we feel anger, hate, fear, etc.
In a similar way to concept of "freedom", love exists, because we claim it exists.
This however does not apply to "spiritual" feelings. Certainly the
feelings are real. You have felt them, therefore they are real.
However, it doesn't mean that they are genuine. It does not mean that they have external causes.
In the same way as the widows dead husband did not cause her to "sense him". She certainly felt something, but what she felt wasn't "genuine".
In the same way as the hypochondriac does feel the pain of some illness, but it doesn't mean that that pain is "genuine", in the sense that it is actually
caused by said illness.
