I'm not a Buddhist
I just like Buddhism, as a philosophy, not a religion
I don't believe there is no such thing as love.
There is most certainly a word "love".
Do I believe I am in love? No.
I feel emotions which humans call love, but I don't really think of them as "love" myself. I can feel many of the separate components in my love. I don't feel the word love is complex enough, or specific enough, to be applied to how I feel about my spouse, or my children. I use the word of course, but I don't think it is a particularly good word. It's like many other tools I use, it could be made much better if there was more scrupulous quality control involved.
