Is Unconditional Love Real?

Is it possible to Love someone or something unconditionally? I mean really unconditionally, meaning there's nothing that that person or thing can do that will ever make you love them or it less, even if it's our children.

Now I don't mean "in love", we all know that can fade, I mean Love Love. Love in all its forms.

If it's True Love, can you ever stop loving that person, and what are/were those conditions?

When it comes to Love, is there a line that can never crossed?

Is unconditional love a real thing?

    I believe all things have boundaries and conditions.

    ALL things.

    Love is no exception.

    If you built a relationship with someone, and within it there are good memories it's hard to just forget the good times, that alone will keep the love alive in your heart in any weather. But an egregious violation will diminish it greatly, but once I love somebody, it's love forever, even if events take place where I can't ? wit you anymore, especially if I have real history with you. You can't make happy times unhappy retroactively.

    No. Some people's conditions appear limitless but I'd bet money there is something that would make their love stop.

    It doesent matter ...

    If two people truly believe and act as though, they love each other unconditionally ... than those two people love each other far beyond any conditions that they can reasonably expect to encounter.

    Only for family. Any ? can and will get dropped and I only let a homie nowadays get so close.

    So there's nothing a family member or one of your homies can do to make your love fade for them?

    Why drop the ? and not the homies or family? That sounds like a conditional love.

    It's complicated...cuz you can put conditions on how you'll deal with somebody you love but that doesn't necessarily mean the love itself is gone.

    I'm a cynical bastard but even I think its real. I don't think every mother loves their children unconditionally, but I know my mom does, and I know she's not the only mom out there that does. That just the most obvious example.

    You're complicating it Gabi. Even if you put conditions on the way you treat or deal with that person, Love is unconditional by what you just said.

    Are you saying the only thing that changes is the way you interact or deal with that person but you'll still love them unconditionally?

    You can change your conscious thoughts as much as you'd like, but love penetrates the subconscious b and deadin that takes a while, and even then the footprints on your heart don't get washed away by high tide just like that.
    Emotion changes the conscious mind faster than the conscious mind changes emotion, if it can be done at all. Meaning, you can't think your way out of love. I don't give a ? what the violation is my nig, you ain't turnin the titanic on a dime, if you got love for em, you got love for em. Especially if the love is real.

    If your family violate you, it just mean you gon feel the pain 3 fold, 1 because you got violated, 2 because you gotta turn your back on somebody you love 3 because you got violated by somebody you love. It don't ? the love, it just saves the body.

    I didn't get deep in my response but yes I believe love can be unconditional. But then that raises other points too...
    For example, all love isn't unconditional. But because a certain relationship (romantic, family, friends, etc) isn't doesn't mean the love isn't genuine. Or "true love" like you said in the op.

    Also, if you're at a point where you figure you're just gonna love somebody no matter what, my personal condition is that I won't ever be stupid or play myself in order to receive it or give it. Is that conditional or unconditional? I'm not really sure...

    @NeighborhoodNomad. I got one older bro besides my mom's and pops. We've fallen out but always got it right back and I'd say for the past 10 years it's been A1. Different kinda love and respect. A chick or a homie can and will get jealous, set u up, ? on ya dreams, laugh @ ya faults, discourage you, steal from you, lie, cheat etc. My brother would never do that. So that's Y I replied my love 4 a chick or homie would only go so far in general. Older and wiser now.

    Every scandalous ? and foul ? is someone's child. I don't put anything past anyone. I guess my love is conditional.

    I understand the conditions of how we "deal with" or treat those we love, but are there conditions to the love itself?

    Can you stop loving someone? And if you can, does it mean you never truly loved them?

    Everything you described are conditions/"conditional".

    We want love to be unconditional but it is. We can't envision a loved one betraying on a high enough level to cut them off but that cut off exists.

    Everyone has a different threshold. I think those that believe it exists just can't fathom some of the unreal ? people have dealt with.

    I wish that ? was real but it isn't
