As to unconditional love, there's no such thing. All love is conditional. If your child is a serial killer you're still going to love them but you're not going to love them the way you loved them as a baby. Love evolves and changes. You don't even have unconditional love with pets unless maybe you're the pet. (I dare you to tell me that love is unconditional for the human when you're scrubbing sh!t out of the carpet) We all have boundaries, lines, conditions. We all grow and change and so does our love. The hope is to have a love that fosters many iterations and can withstand all of those iterations. That's the closest to unconditional that we'll ever get.
I agree! In fact, I should have caught this. Love, except for parent-child (and for those of us who believe, God to human-beings) is never unconditional. I answered this related to true love. As in "I will love you for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, as long as we both shall live." Even in those vows there are conditions, chiefly being that both spouses live up to those vows.
Great add, WF.
