Unconditional love, is it real?

I think it's funny that this topic is even still going on.

Why can't you all just love who you want to love the way you want to love them? Love someone as much or as little as you feel the need to give. Be true to them or betray them. Do what is in your heart to do. If you love someone despite their faults then great and if you can't love someone who is a big ass then that is great too.

Give what ever love you want.

Nope. Not real.

Yes, I have loved every pet I have had unconditionally. Between people, I don't know. It all depends on the 2 people. Same for parents, they will love you but if you are a bad child or a horrible person you can expect them to love you but maybe not like you. That's just my opinion as always.

I unconditionally love myself, no matter what I do. So yes, it is real.

I'm thinking that there may be an important difference between 'approval' and 'love'. If you ignore the difference, unconditional love becomes a possibility.

Honestly, no offense, I think each person, including each parent, has the right to determine for themselves what they define as "love" and how they choose to apply it in their lives. People have different value systems. I generally try not to see them in comparison ( this is just me and how I behave, I know people can behave as they wish and it's their right to see it as they wish) or relate them to "better" or "worse" because once I try to invalidate someone else's choices and preferences, I've really invalidated my own at the same time. You can't ask people to respect your right to see the world as you do unless you grant them that same courtesy.

In life, you are judged just as much on how you react to something where you are a bystander as much as you are judged for being a participant in a given conflict. People's choices, within a conflict, says something about them. One way or another. How anyone reacts to that on the outside says something about the person reacting. No offense, just how I see it, how you see it is up to you and I respect that and your right to view it another way.

I see exactly what you're saying, David, understand it and agree!

But I still defend my Hitler arguement.

I think that at the point that someone unconditionally loves Hitler, they have bastardized the word Love and all it stands for.

5 years ago, I went to Auschwitz/Birkenau.

I witnessed people mourning over the muddy grey ashes of their loved ones. Because of a monster.

Now, let's say in "fantasyland", Klara Hitler walks into the Auschwitz Memorial and states how much she loved her son. Every single person in that Memorial would sob and cringe and be furious at the thought that the same emotion they felt for their loved ones is of the same calibre towards that monster.

I believe that love is conditional because if I don't want to believe that Hitler deserved to be unconditionally loved.

It makes sense in my mind... I don't know if I care that it makes sense to anyone else.


When I see the women who are so "in love" with Richard Ramirez, I'm pretty confident that it is not "true" love.
Do I know for sure? Of course not.
Is it any of my business? No.
Is it just my judgement speaking? Yes.
Do I feel badly for making that judgement? No.

And you can't make me!

"Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions."
I love that quote. Speaks volumes to me.

I can't see how anyone could love this piece of garbage.
If he were my son I'd spit on him.
