Hello dear friends, I have come across many people and various articles that tell us that love is meant for giving only.. and we are suppose to love unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. Is it really possible to let the love flow without any exepctations? Does everyone really deserve to be loved unconditinally? Does loving someone unconditionally make you vulnerable to being taken for granted or being misunderstood ? I am waiting hear from all of you.Please feel free to voice your opinion on the same.Happy Mylotting!

I feel the only unconditional love we see is what a mother shares with their kids, or a way a small kid loves the mother back. that is unconditional. Other than that, i feel loving unconditionally is difficult. We are human, and its normal to expect back when we give so much.

very well said,the kind of love that a mother shares with a child is so pure.sadly,children fail to understand it until they become parents one day.thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts here.

@aishanee A small child always love unconditionally. I have a 2 year old and i know this. As a parent, some can turn selfish (unfortunately), expecting our kids to take care of us when we grow old. This is good if they do, but we should not expect it either. We should be unconditional enough to let it go even if they don't look after us :)

love is supposed to go both way... but then when we are in love, we tend to give and don't want anything back. You can love someone unconditionally but I'm sure we have a little bit of our expectation in there... If the other person knows your love for him/her and cherish it then it's good, but if that person keeps putting you down or have no respect for you then...move on... Don't waste your love...

In a present day scenario,It is extremely important to know people well before you let them into you lives and it's an equally challenging task to differentiate the few handful of good people among a rotten lot.Thanks a lot for your views here :)

In the present scenario nothing happens without a cause, same is the case with love. Most of the people do not believe in unconditional love, when they fall in love with someone, they have high expectations from their counter part and when the expectations do not get fulfilled, they feel depressed and dejected.

I think love cannot be measured.

I think it's normal to expect to be loved in return when we love someone. But I guess there are exceptions, such as in the case of a mother loving her child.

yes,I agree with you.as they say, its easier said than done.Love always expects to be loved back in return and that's where we fail.

loving someone unconditionally can be only for a parent love his child, but between a couple it wont last long it must be both ways...

yes,the love of a mother for her child has no parallels.They are our God in the form of human.we should always be grateful to our parents and always be by their side.
