COG, if you're reading I wanted to apologize if I came across combative in my earlier post to you. It was not my intention. I was basing my response to you on *my* concept of unconditional love, which most likely is totally off from your own idea.
Here is my base concept from which I was proceeding. _____________________________________________________________ "When I hear it, I envision some longsuffering soul who is biting his/her lip while encountering soul-devastating treatment and never speaking truth, never suggesting to the unconditional love recepient that their behavior or attitude is harmful, etc.
I perceive that as harmful for both the giver and reciever. The love-giver continues to take in damage and continues to keep making themselves vulnerable to be damaged. The love-recepient continues along the path of unchallenged self aggrandizement with little concern of the impact they are having on those around them and never being presented with an opportunity to grow." _________________________________________________________
And as I have seen, people have differing concept of what that might be. So, I was just looking for a discussion, not an argument. No offense intended.
