Love, mature love, is unconditional. It is loving a person just because they exist.
It is knowing that they may have faults, who doesn't, but those faults make them, them and you love them because of not inspite of the faults.
It is not loving them because they love you, it is loving them even if they didn't love you.
And we are not speaking of the obsessive, possessive feeling that many people mistake for love. That is not love that is...... obsession. Sort of a perversion of mature love.

Love for children - totally unconditional - no one will ever love you like your parents love/d you. That is really true love - but we mostly apply it to our children.
I think Lillietta has it right. The real love is what we should have for our children. Loving them no matter what, unconditionally, but it seems we rarely apply that to adults. Adult love tends to come with LOTS of conditions. And it often fades quickly.

Awww Town, I'll make you some soup Now where is that recipe?? I used to have the best french onion soup recipe. I look for it for you.
Although its been a few years and I salivate over the thought of homemade french onion soup with a cheese top and crusty bread on the side its more about what it means... if you catch my drift. I don't mind doing prep either... I'm a foodie at heart.

It's not called an "ineffable emotion" for nothing.
