Unconditional Love

posted June 1, 2008 - 11:10pm
Unconditional Love

Is there REALLY a such thing???

When someone tells someone else that they love them, theres always a reason why...
it could be something shallow like looks...or it could go deeper, like you love them cuz of their personality, or cuz they love you

...meaning, if n e of this were to change, like the person were to become ugly, mentally incapacitated, or started hating you, you couldn't love them n e more...

BUT if you love someone for no reason, isn't that a little off? How do you know you love someone if u have no reason?

Maybethere is a such thing as unconditional love...but maybe at a family level...like I can love my brother cuz he is my brother, and nothing is really going to change that...I can love my child, becuz she is my child, and nothing will changethat... (i dont have n e kids)

What do y'all think?

I think you do too. For your age. [okay. we can kinda, but not really "forget" age. . .] So. If you ask the kind of question you asked, or make a statement such as you made -- you will get responses such as mine and others, some wrapped in emotions or religions -- and some like mine will describe or hint at animal chemistry, survival things evolved over millions of years in life's struggle to persist. You are at the age where you are still becoming accustomed to yourself -- exploring your own limits of whatever. Keep at it, and you will get old! Actually, you are welcome -- alot! Enjoy while you can and while you are here.

Wow, you are acting like this because I'm young...How prejudiced...If I were old, my opinion would be more valid?? I didn't say that just because you are related to someone that you have unconditional love for them. But I did say that I think the only way you have truly unconditional love for someone you didnt know from the start is if you are related to them. Unconditional love outside the family at least is more of an ideal than something real... For example: If you love someone because they teat you right, you couldn't possible love them if you didn't...and on the same token, if you do, you are stupid (and also in a bad relationship, because people who love each other don't hurt each other). At the same time if you do love someone unconditionally, you love them without reason, and if you love someone for no reason, you can't know you are in love. It's a paradox. My mother loves me unconditionally, so I know it does exist within family. My boyfriend, is pretty much smitten by me, and he loves me pretty much no matter what, but see, if I repeatedly cheated on him, I don't expect him to stay with me, because I wouldnt stay with him. Therefore, i don't suspect that ANYONE is just going to stay with anyone no matter what. All love has it's limits as far as that goes. Unless you just LOVE one of those dramatic daytime soap relationships. ALL that being said, I would appreciate it if you could be a little less judgemental about someone that you don't know....Contary to your beliefs, I have a wonderful, though not perfect upbringing, I LOVE my family and they do love me, AND I have planty of knowledge and common sense for my age! Thanx Alot!

You apparently begin to understand?

What I see is youth and ignorance. Age and growth remedy one; education remedies the other. n e ideas? My younger sister is a bloodline relative. Do I have any love for her? Conditional or unconditional or otherwise? Absolutely not. But the mammalian framework supports it better than other chassis. cuz, n e, becuz? I'm hopeful you will learn. But from the response to my comment; you are what you are. Thanks for your note.

Are the only one who has made sense! Thank you, that's what I was trying to understand: If love CAN be unconditional.

Firstly, Please don't bring my upbringing into this...you don't know me. Secondly, Had you read my WHOLE piece, I put that kind of love on the list of love that is unconditional. Please read, and please do not talk about which you don't know

oh yes my dear

Love and Conditions

Here is my take on this. Well if you love for a reason then it is not love in the first place. Then it can be anything but love. Love knows no condition. There is nothing called as conditional love. It simply does not exist. Love with condotions and for a reason may be called "trading", "attraction" or even "mutual arrangement". Love is always unconditional. So if it changed because appearance changed know that it was not love in the first place. Love can happen beyond relationships. Often in relationships its more of"trading", where by you "love" someone because there is some trade-off in return. You can love anything - Sunset, birds, stranger, orphan child, nature or even a stone. You have to feel love. There is nothing to do in love. Love is all encompassing. There is a simple test to know if it is love (the unconditional kind) - If you are wondering then it is not. My Articles & Profile

No conditions in the bible??

Martin123 - Mon, 2008-2-6 6:09 am
The bible consists of an old testament as well! Eternal damnation, hellfire, seven deadly sins?? If god's love is unconditional why does he see the need to punish us when we break the conditions set up in the bible? It seems god does not love you whatever you do! Either you accept the bible as it is written or you don't you can not be selective and choose only the parts you see fit and ignore everything else! The bible is used by people to scare other people into acting a certain way! there's nothing loveful about that!
