Individualism is at once an ethical-psychological concept and an ethical-political one.

As an ethical-political concept, individualism upholds the supremacy of individual rights

I don't know what falling in love for me is. The concept of romantic love arose in the Middle Ages. Now remember, the Arabs don't even have a word for love-that is, a word for love apart from physical attraction or sex. And this separation of love and sex is a western concept, a Christian concept.
