unconditional love??

Loving and understanding someone and accepting all their quirks and foibles but it doesn't mean accepting abuse that may be be given of any kind Very few people can love unconditionally - they always put terms on the relationship and want to put people into boxes.

It does not exist in the human species, and for somebody to quote the meaning of love from the Bible.... well. I don't think these religious peeps know much about human nature, and as for the clerics that preach it ... only they will know why they abuse children and dominate women etc. The best analogy I can come up with for "unconditional love" is the love we get from man's best friend. Yup, if you have a dog you will know about unconditional love. My little guys will greet me with wagging tails, whoops of joy and much excitement when I arrive home after a day out or even a few days. A dog will show unconditional love for its owner irrespective of how the owner treats it.

Which word are you having trouble with? all the best urban

dear saphy, I only know one unconditional love that knows love better than anyone else. "God the Father who allow His only son to be crucified in place of sinners" What greatest love to show and endure the pain seeing HIS only son in shame,pain and sufferings -to be crucified- when HE (GOD) owns/created everything/mankind. GOD's love is enough example of unconditional love. (guys- no debate with religion...this is my faith and i respect yours) But,of course we have different views on this matter dear. For me,unconditional love is loving someone without expecting in return. forget limitation-rules and no pretending (off with hypocrisy) i am not an expert,but when i love someone i can do (crazy) things beyond my boundaries. Love is mysterious my dear saphy...that's one thing i am sure

Hi Saphrina Unconditional love was when you kept responding to my discussions even when they were meant to fail and get deleted during my early days here. Uncondtional love was when you went all over sending the plans to use whips and axes and what not to get the mylot a better place Unconditional love was when I met you all - the great so many friends of mine here at MyLot and finally Uncondtional love is when MyLot has become my extended family - where I might have never met anyone in person but yes, I know some traits and some specialities that make my family members here. More?

No true idea myself. I suppose that it means that you would do absolutely anything for someone?

This brings to mind a very simple phrase: "I am loved because I am" My existence is all that is required for me to receive love. Most human beings cannot do that.

Regardless of who he is or what he does you love his core, he essence. You will always want him to be happy with Or without you in his life. His happiness is just as important as your own. That is unconditional love.

I'm quite sorry to say dear saphrina that unconditional love is very hard to find to me the only unconditional live I ever had was that of my mother...she would love me under any circumstances! do my children love me that way?...I don't know...did my husband of 16 years or my partner after 20 years loved me that way? big NO. I can only think of one animal that would love any one with not condition at all...a dog.

Hi Saphrina. First, I won't claim myself as any of those you mentioned here to provide an answer to your question. But I would want to share my views of what is unconditional love for me. Well of course, everyone has their own meaning of such term. Oftenly, love becomes unconditional when you see the person by heart and not by eyes. If you feel him as everything to you despite of all his/her shortcomings, flaws, and even everybody is against him/her for you. If you able to be proud to be with him/her regardless of what he/she have. And you know that you can offer more than you can without expecting to gain..that's somehow unconditional. For me, it's simple, for us to give unconditional love, we must first see and love ourselves, for people to see how capable we are to love someone else. If we love ourselves for what we are, we are capable then to love someone regardless of what we can get from them. Well, that's for my opinion. Happy mylotting to you.

Hi saphy... I think unconditional love means where no condition exists.

My dear bubbles..the problem with you is ..even simple answer is much too complicated for your blond brains... UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...is something like what I have for you...I know you are dumb, and you are blond..but I love you, and I loved you even when you never called me ma...it took you a while to do that, remember? And with all your foot in the mouth, I am still around...hope you understood what that means..

I may sound expert, but frankly I am not. But if I don't give my views in this, you would be curious why I did not join? I don't believe in unconditional love. I don't believe that someone would give her/ his life for the one she/ he loves. I don't believe that love last... as if forever. So, I would say that I love someone because he is comfortable to live with, that I would try to protect him and get him away from harm, that I would be prepared if one day he has someone else he wants to love...

unconditional love is love without conditions it is love without requiring anything in return. i believe unconditional love does take breaks ..it does grow tired. we are woman not machines. we have all shorts of feelings and emotions, to always come back is what is the key and make things stronger. ;)

The first time I understood unconditional love is when I loved a person I can't have. It went so long for four years. I did everything. Called all the gods and saints. Make myself beautiful but it didn't happen. He didn't looked at me once and realized that I could be his potential lifetime partner. LOL. I was in pain. I cried and even made wagers with God with this and that. I never understood why but when I saw him how happy he is with the girl he loves - I managed to smile for myself. I realized I felt so happy seeing him happy. And somehow, lifted the pain that has been chained inside my heart. I know it's a little bit over dramatic but I guess that's how I managed to learn it. I hope I was able to contribute a little on your "agony" of this problem, saphy. lol

Unconditional love doesn't exist in reality. In love, you give and receive. If you don't receive anything from your partner, you become frustrated after some time. How would you feel if you met someone willing to sacrifice himself for you, without expecting anything in return?

it means you express love without conditioning your hair.

Unconditional love - loving someone no matter what. Just like I love hubby, my daughter and baby son . . . they can drive me nuts all they want - but I still love them no matter what. They will never have to question my love for them - I will always love them. And I also have an unconditional love for chocolate - ha!

Hi sweetie, Unconditional love in my opinion is when you love someone, there are unspoken rules you expect that person to follow, rules that need to be abide by yet not need to mention them. Though the person may have flaws and or troubles so as long as you love this person, you will not condition them in any way. For instance, if you were a parent, you need not tell you child you expect them to love you and respect you, they should know this through their upbringing. Though the child may have lots of faults in life they still love you, therefore you do not stop loving them, but understand that although you cannot change them you will always love that child. You get me? lol

Unconditional love is the only true love It happens in life but love to get hurt ... take your life over again, would you forget everything, but memories are always in your heart, remembering that love is the greatest thing you can blame the suffering. But all of pass and look so real rediscover the love that you had always beside you but you did not recognize. So I happened to me. It happens in life to make mistakes, mistakes that later you learn what to actually do (or what should be done long ago) ... the love from giving more, much more than you gave and gives you the match. Life gives us both good and bad, and many obstacles and many rewards, it says that God gives you as much as you can handle. As with so many difficulties overcome God rewards us with happiness and fulfillment, I have a feeling it on my skin. A life we have, not even two, a life that I believe we should live every moment fully. There are people who have money and want even more important and things and tend to forget small things, small and insignificant for them, but for others those things unimportant gestures and "weigh" infinite in comparison with anything. Happiness dedication we ourselves, and if I did not learn that until now, it would be to do it.
