I often wondered if someone can truly love someone unconditionaly? If you think about the term "unconditionaly" it means without conditions.. Can you truly love someone and let them be themselves and not put conditions on their love?

I hope most readers love themselves unconditionally. Our children are part of us, and loving them unconditionally would also apply. Our children will most always do something we don't like or agree with but we will still love them no matter what choices they make.

I agree with you, everyone should love themselves and their kids unconditionally. But maybe not always our partners.

I think loving unconditionally is one thing and accepting unconditionally would more likely apply to spouses or partners.

I believe we can love our family members, especially our children, unconditionally. It is easy to love them unconditionally, you have that bond with them like no other. When it comes to loving another person unconditionally, if this person is our partner, then no, I don't think it's possible for us to love unconditionally. We will always want something different, or want more from our partners. Want them to do something differently, or to start or stop doing something that makes them who they are.

I love my children totally unconditionally. I also love my sister totally unconditionally. But other than that I probably would say no. I think most relationships are built on a (you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours) relationship. So that isn't really unconditional I think. I think that unconditional love is something really hard to have and if you have a few people in your live like that then it is a great thing.
