I would have said it was obvious you were labeling your emotion. You could choose to simply quitely experience the feelings you are feeling, but when you decide to speak (or even to put them into word in terms of the thoughts in your own mind) you choose to label them in order to try to organize or communicate what you are feeling- and using the word "love" you use a very poor and inexact label (imo). I don't know why you think it is stretching the term labeling, especially in that context, when it is so clearly an attempt to label complicated feelings. For whatever reason I think you simply don't like the argument for emotional reasons of your own, though I confess I can't imagine what those reasons might be. That is the only reason I can imagine for your dismissive treatment of such an obvious argument. You've given no sensible counter to it. You merely use dismissive language; a trick Neo likes to use, and which you've called him on in the past. It doesn't work any better when you try it. FWIW
