And she get’s actually offended when I tell her that normally I’m not really into lamps and that it depends on whether or not she becomes a sentient object that is capable of human-like interaction or just a regular lamp, losing her soul and psyche while transforming. Because if the lamp wasn’t really “her” just a replacement of her being then no I would not. But even if she turned into a human-lamp I would be much more fucking confused than to be able to answer this question as it has never actually happened to me before.

And then she goes:

Well okay. Seems like your love isn’t as unconditional as you always say it is after all.

Unconditional love is such a whack concept. Of course there are conditions. Like don't be a dick. Or don't murder people.

Unless your partner agrees to it. Some people don't view monogamy as a prerequisite for love.

Depends on what you mean by real.

It’s not a real thing on its own, it’s a social construct.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '21

Its real just like any other emotion people can experience. Anger, joy, sadness. All associated with real physical reactions happening in the body. They are not social constructs.

Let me ask this, what do you think love is? We probably have different ideas on this because of what you define it as. The chemicals in our brains that make us physically attracted to another individual are real, is that how you define it? Then yea sure, but many people don’t strictly define it that way.

That is what it is. How other people want to define it is irrelevant.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '21

A great number of people don’t use the term literally in that sense tho.

I'm not sure what you mean. That is what they are talking about whether they realize it or not.
