Yes. That's what I have for my kids and my parents.

Yes.

Yes..

It's never been a thing for me, however there are a few with whom I've been through lots of conditions and still love sooo.... 🤷🏻‍♀

Yep, all parents know it is real.

Yes but a rarity

From your parents is always a thing.

Ofcourse it is and always will be.

Romantic settings --> No.
Other settings (animals, own children...) --> Yes.

Yes. In certain degrees anyway.

I don't think it ever was a thing... love, like most things, has conditions. I get what the it means and depending on how you personally define the love you want and can give, it has fewer (or more) conditions, but in my experience, there is always a condition... or three, or four.

Between parents or grandparents and children, perhaps. Most adult relationships have well-defined conditions.

No such thing exists. Easy to say when everything is going ideally or you're madly in love. Try it out and see.

ETA: I mean, if there are no conditions that means you will love them no matter the most despicable thing they could do. What if they were a pedophile or worse.

Not as far as humans go, other than family and friends to be honest like your own mother and father loving you for life, I mean it was certainly the case for me to be honest!!!! But romantically with real humans, no, to be honest!!!!

it always has and always will be a thing

not everyone has it tho

unconditional love is not the same thing as romantic love lust ..

Only for my kids

I have a problem even with a single definition of love.


Would you love your neighbor unconditionally in all ways? That includes Eros. 😱

The moment you exclude an aspect from anything, then you have a problem. It's no longer everything.

This was the problem the Catholic Church faced with Latin. Amor included Eros, so they corrupted the Greek definition of agape and made agape not so inclusive, which in Greek, agape did include Eros as well. Zeus loved (agape) his own daughter Athena in the full greek sense. Including Eros.

Is it any wonder why the christian churches discourage kids learning greek mythology? 🤣

Erm, no. The closest thing is between parents and their children but there are MANY parents who abuse their children, so that's not always a guarantee.

Only from animals.

It could be.

Unconditional Love, yes, it is, but has to be towards God. Amongst us, conditional love suits better.

I might have at one time. Not anymore.

Not really

It can be, but it's difficult. And boundaries are very important.

Maybe for some.

Yup

I think it could be but the problem people will start taking advantage of it causing the other person to slowly build resentment really sad if you think about it

God loves that way. Homo sapiens only does so under pressure, which is to say they don't.

I never believed in it…there are always hidden conditions.

Yes

Yes

Yes

I guess for a mother, but even she has limits if the child is terrible to her, she will love him a little less
