There is no void. Society has, without a fuss, slowly silently removed love. Evolution called on us to advance, hence love was replaced with logic. In logic, there's no room for feelings, or our interpretation of them.
The Germans say it started in hospitals. Families were asked to make tragic decisions about donating their deceased's' organs. They were called to let go of feelings for an empty vessel that both comforts and confuses. To make straightforward rational decisions, people abandoned the idea of family all together. It was easier to not create relationships of love then to lose them. It was a simple conclusion. One that has surprisingly lengthened the human life span. Healthy organs are donated almost 100% of the time, crimes of passion have substantially decreased, and suicide is practically non-existent. We are a more civilized society without the sloppiness of love hanging about. When we teach our children about love in history class, they laugh at the archaic traditions of weeping at funerals. We see love filled relationships as a burden.
At first there was a crowd that fought for a society filled with love. They believed in hurting for starving children, ill elderly, and lost love. They became second class citizens who couldn't keep up with progression and eventually they were washed out.
Sure the idea of love is a seductive fairy tale but it has been removed for a reason; reason.
