You're my new hero. Can't get much more clear than this.

tell that to the kids who are killed by their mothers.

The love that I feel for my son is unconditional. I don't care if he grows up to be a mass murderer (well, I do care and hope with all my being that he doesn't!!!) - I will ALWAYS love him.The love that my husband and I feel for each other is conditional in the sense that it is unconditional as long as both of us are committed to it being unconditional. I'm not sure if that makes sense - but what I mean is that I love him for who he is and how he treats me. He would never hit me, cheat on me, abuse me, etc. If he were to do that - I don't know what I'd feel. It's very possible that I might still love him - although I wouldn't be able to be with him. But perhaps I wouldn't love him anymore if he changed into someone that wasn't committed to loving me the way that he loves me now.

Now that I've probably made a complete mess of this post, I think I'll move on!

"Is love truly unconditional?"

Under certain conditions, sure.

only love to helpless child is unconditional. as soon as u can walk there are conditions for that love. for the adult we mostly confuse unconditional love with copendency.
we did not like the way our grandparents did things so we did our own version. we have failed. highest prison population on earth, highest divorce rate.

Agree with the highlighted. Every generation has always done things differently.

Problem, US prisons are to comfortable to make it advantagous to change.

No. Until we reach the apex there are always degrees. Only those who have found true love, the proverbial soulmates who withhold nothing, give everything. These people, this love, shared and reciprocated. This is unconditional. All else has its conditions.

Only nature and pets loves us unconditionaly. As for humans it's always has limits. I can not be responsiable for everyone but as for me I can not be with someone after he cheated on me I JUST DON'T SEE THE POINT and I can not be with someone who lies unless he is trying to save my life or life of his own children.
