One of the key traits of sociopathy is the inability to feel love. However, is it not also possible that "love" is a delusion, fabricated by people insecure with their own will-to-power?
If love does not exist, would that mean everyone is a sociopath, rendering the term "sociopath" meaningless, with the only people who are *not* considered sociopaths by mainstream sources being those who have deluded themselves into thinking otherwise?
**Not saying I think love doesn't exist or anything like that, and I'm not making a value judgment on sociopaths; I just want to get a discussion/argument going.
Replies:
even then there are so much more "key traits" to a sociopath that are more important than the inability to feel love
is inability to love even a real "key trait" of a sociopath
Sure, if we're just considering that one key trait and not all other key traits. Though if we're taking subjective matters into account about love then wouldn't that mean any sort of intuitative assumption regarding what one feels love is be a delusion as well? You'd have to also assume happiness and relationship fullfillment are also a delusion meaning that the only true socipaths would be the ones that see without delusion.
