If we zero that out then we all have experience of "loving" an object, even illusory ones - such as some version of ourselves that we would admire and respect and want to be. The production of experience and emotion being local, there's nothing stopping a person from feeling it even in the absence of any object. That kind of love, airquotes or not, just takes one person. People love their cars, their favorite baseball teams, a certain patch of ground, etc.
Yeah, that's true.....I would very much like to jump into the timeline where I was a respected dude who got all the girls.
