Do I believe in love.
No.
I've experienced a range of attachments, emotions and obsessions often referred to as 'love'
But is there something uniquely human,special, altruistic or transcendent, such as agape? (love of god)
No,not that I've ever seen,although I've met many people who have made all kinds of claims. From my observation,'maternal love' seems to be the most reliable, but no form of claimed love except that of ego is implicitly trustworthy.
Humans are only sentient animals. Our sense of specialness is our conceit,it has no objective reality.
