| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/6/2006 8:28:05 AM | | Unconditional love? Wanting the person you love to be happy. If thats with you or not, thats how I feel. Does'nt stop the pain of them not thinking they could be just as happy with you. | |

Does'nt stop the pain of them not thinking they could be just as happy with you. if you love to satisfied her needs which take maybe an hour or two often i will guanatee she will be happy. Most men only perform what makes them happy, hit and run.

unconditional love to me is no restrictions, no requirements,no I will love you if onlys, in other words love regardless of income, weight, height or age. Also unconditional love accepts whatever health a person is in, what kind of car they drive or where they live... beautiful statement it says it all.

| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/6/2006 2:28:47 PM | Unconditional love, to me, is not saying I will love you if.... It's being free inside to forgive the past ... and everyone who is in it ... and live comfortably with the memories.

| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/6/2006 2:46:43 PM | Unconditional love is truly wishing other people and other things well. Unconditional love does not mean passivity. It is in fact quite muscular, especially when it comes to defending truth and helping and defending others. Unconditional love means allowing others to live their own lives, in their own ways. In fact, wishing them well and helping them live the lives they choose. Unconditional love of course means giving them the space to do so. In particular, this means each group not increasing their numbers until they intrude on the space of others. Trying to force others to live the way you approve of is not love; it is aggression. A world based on unconditional love would probably tend towards small, rather different nations or states, each respecting other's right to live, wishing others well and being careful not to drift into interfering with them. On the whole, they would like their neighbors. | |

| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/6/2006 8:16:53 PM | | Unconditional love to me is acceptance. Accepting their faults. Forgiving mistakes. But in return you shouldn't be ignored or treated badly. If you are its time to leave. | |

To die for someone requires one choice. One sacrifice. And then you are done. Finis.
To live for someone requires one, after another, after another, after another ad infinitum. It means putting their welfare foremost in your mind in everything you do. Always.
Much more difficult. | |

| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/8/2006 3:36:22 AM | Unconditional= Without conditions or limitations! Having no reservations, absolute, implicit, undoubting, unfaltering, unhesitating, unquestioning, unreserved and wholehearted.
Love= Is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres. 1 corinths 13:4-7
Unconditional love to me is acceptance (and all of the above). In saying 'without conditions', does not mean without morals/values etc therefore to have unconditional love between two people there must be communication and like-mindedness. I believe this is possible! Without the above meanings of unconditional love in your life, it is not possible to attain, including unconditional love for your children. How many parents/children do you know who have ostracised themselves from each other? How many families don't speak to each other? We all place certain expectations on our kids (behave, mind your manners, sit up straight etc)...this surely is conditional love if we don't love them because they do not comply? We all place certain expectations on our animals (dont bark, sit, fetch etc)....this is surely conditional love, if we do not love them if they don't perform?
I personally believe in unconditional love and I am working towards attaining it, and it starts with ME

| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/8/2006 3:44:23 AM | Excellent post Charem, and good points .. I only disagree with one aspect.

If parents actually DID stop loving their children for not sitting straight, then you could call it conditional. The love between parent and chlid is unconditional specifically because it doesn't rely on conditions. I love my children. If one of them misbehaves, I'll be upset with them, and I'll still love them. If, as an adult, one of my children commits some horrible crime and becomes the most hated in society, I'll be disappointed, but I'll still love my children. There are no conditions on that love, because there is nothing they could do that would make me stop loving them.
The love in a relationship is very, very conditional however. No matter how much I love my partner, if he were to mistreat me, abuse me, abuse one of my children, or countless other variables... love would fade most definately. | |

| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/8/2006 5:41:47 AM | Unconditional love:
Love with no-hold backs.
ACTUALLY think about it. How many people would you still "love" if they spat in your face everytime you saw them? Didn't reciprocate a kiss everytime you started one? Never GAVE something you thought they OUGHT to give?
It's not a myth - it's a choice.
But doesn't mean you should be a fool. Just because you unconditionally love someone in a relationship doesn't mean you should allow them to disrespect you. Some people think, "I'll love you always. But if you disrespect me, you can't be with me, unless you fully apologise, intending never to ever do that again."
By the way, "love" isn't just a fuzzy feeling. It's different between any 2 people. Sometimes, I reckon people should set down clearly what they mean by "I love you" before saying it. I.e. not just saying "Do you love me?" - because that's what "I love you" means when you just want to hear it back. So - does "I love you" mean "I'll do anything to make you happy?" Then let the person know! Then, everytime you say those words, they'll appreciate even more what you mean. | |

| What is unconditional love to you? Posted: 2/8/2006 6:12:58 AM | Unconditional love.....Being arround that person an feeling safe, and fuzzy inside. Not being able to go an hour without thinking about them, or wanting them there. You love the trivial things about them.
You would die for them. You make eachother better people, for even knowing eachother. You downright hands down head over heals no holds barred LOVE THEM. And when you have a fight even a small one....you felt like you have ben hit by a mack truck, and are the first to appoligize.
Unconditional love is all about sacrifice, you give your soul your heart and your body to them and fully trust them.... | |

'would you die for them' when two have this deep love, it is the best life can offer. no reasons to die for someone in any case. it is wrong. enjoy this event as it will contine to grown.

if you are talking about real death then its selfishness to do the deed you mention.
