Posted: 9/3/2006 4:46:15 AM | Yes I think women, mothers, should have unconditional love for their kids.
As a man I feel that unconditional love is having Faith in the woman. Believing that she can do something, whether it's straighten out a kid or become a political leader.
A great many people never receive unconditional faith and love, they are constantly being judged from age 4 on and thus never learn to grow and develop their talents as human beings into their full capacity.
Having faith in your partner, and not about cheating and sex, but faith in accomplishments.
Love should be unexpected, a suprise. Love after all is unqualified. | |

Posted: 9/27/2006 4:10:08 AM | 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 perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away...And now these things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
--1 Corinthians 13:1-8, 13 | |

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
Damnit, you beat me to it.  | |

Posted: 9/27/2006 10:51:03 AM | | i always told my ex i loved him for the things he was not. he was not perfect, he was not rich, he was not****. i loved him for who he was and not the things he had. any imperfections of his were not visible to me. all i wanted to do was to make him happy. unconditional love to me is loving the other person regardless of age, race, imperfections and the list goes on. | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 1:05:53 PM | Unconditional love is what one generally feels for their children, their parents, and their siblings. It should also be (above and beyond anyone else) what one feels for one's spouse. Sadly, the divorce rate in this country reflects otherwise.
As an aside: I definitely felt unconditional love for my 2 little dogs! | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 1:25:35 PM | I'm not sure I go for the "I had to let her go so she could be happy...." story .
what happened to her ? she must have met someone else ? did she give you a choice ?
"oh i'll stay if you want?"
I Probably think you wished her well and was still was in love with her ,and didn't want to see her hurt and do want her to be happy .....but you can't force them to love you back...
The "i let her go because it was unconditional love " sounds good ,and makes us feel better about what happened .

Posted: 4/22/2007 1:46:59 PM | I don't believe in unconditional love. There is ALWAYS a condition.
To love unconditionally is to love everyone the same. That means you would love your parents or children the same as the child molester that lives down the street. To give that out to everyone regardless of their station in your life is to demean the meaning of it and make it worthless. It's like inflation.
You love your kids BECAUSE they are your kids. You love your parents BECAUSE they are your parents...if they weren't these things, they wouldnt mean what they do to you. Those are conditions for your love. | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 1:47:56 PM | In history unconditionally meant:
Do what you say you will even if it meant you give up everything to keep your word.
Today: unconditionally can mean: you keep your word until something better shows up.
Unconditional love means:
no judgment of the other person even when you do not like what they do, you also have the right to say what you believe and leave because of what you believe,but not because they will not do what you want them to do.. no control of the other person, complete freedom. | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 2:26:57 PM | You can love a person in spite of certain traits that are irritating to you, but remaining with a person who disrespects themself, you and your relationship makes you a doormat.
I still love an ex-boyfriend who had some rather irritating traits....huge ego, stinginess and he didn't have a romantic bone in his body. I love him because of all of his good traits. I love him in spite of all the things that made me roll my eyes and sigh.
He made a choice to continue certain behaviours that he knew were deal breakers for me. He wanted the right to behave as he pleased more than he wanted to be with me. I knew that he would only continue to disrespect me and our relationship, so, I dumped him. His bad "behaviours" did not make me stop loving him...they just stopped me from wanting to contiue being with him.
True feelings do not come from a faucet, where you turn one handle and you love them...then all of a sudden you just turn that handle off and turn the other one on so you can now hate them. When you truly care for someone and you can no longer be with them for whatever reason, you should be able to still care for them and wish them the best in their lives (while keeping them at arm's length or never seeing them again).
That is unconditional love in my book. | |

Posted: 4/22/2007 3:41:04 PM | Unconditional Love? It's "love" given without condition, without strings. No take backs, no returns, no cancellations. "Love" is feeling of goodness, rightness, a desire for the best for another, the wanting only for the recipient to find all that is good. "Love" is kind but not foolish. "Love" is patient. "Love" takes pleasure in the Good, the Truth, the Right. "Love" lasts for ever -- regardless of response or exchange.
Actually when you think about it the "unconditional" in "unconditional love" is superfluous. Love by its nature is unconditional. | |

Posted: 4/24/2007 2:46:25 AM | unconditional to you all
That he or she is always there for you, in sickness and in health, thinner or thicker.
And, oooh, he or she will eat the rutten part of banana and offers you the good part.
That would be my father and my dog ... | |

Posted: 4/24/2007 5:50:58 AM | Hi
Personally i wouldn't expect unconditional love because that would boarder on possession surely
I would how every expect loyalty ,honesty and commitment in the relationship, and a good communicating back bone to the relationship.
My Nan and granddad were together 52 years b4 he died ...
That probably as close as unconditional as ya probably will get .
The only unconditional love in most cases is the love to/from your children.

Posted: 4/24/2007 6:03:49 AM | Unconditional love to me doesnt mean that you have to put up with their nonsense but that you see beyond the surface.......You love someone for who they are good and the bads....but sometimes you cant live with them becausee of their negatives
I am just giving my perspective on how I see things but I dont think that we fall in and out of love like we think....True love doesnt die no matter what....My ex husband last going off treated me like crap...he has turned into the worst man on this earth but as much as I hate him there is a part of me that will always love him....so in that respect I feel if you truly love someone you will always love them no matter what happens....I know of many situations where the same things applies.....Maybe that is what is meant by unconditional love...Once we truly fall in love it is for good....
Just my two cents!!!! | |
