    .Brummie Put it down!!!!! It bothers my eyes....I do believe there is UN conditional LOVE .I know this sound weird( O.K. I admit I,m weird) But I loved my hubby 42+ years UNCONDITIONALLY - as you all know it was a tough time-he objecting to my JW life-beatings etc: But I couldnt stop loving him. My Grand-kids give me problems & as much as I would like to take "a slow boat to China "to avoid the problems I LOVE them unconditionally . So I stay close because I want to be here to help when needed -which is OFTEN!..... O.K. Dr's ,Counsellors, etc say that is a "sick" love .In fact my Dr at one time ( when my hubby was alive) told me he would not treat me any more unless I left my husband -he said "It is me or Him choose!!!" They were conditions I could not abide by so I gave the DR up -He was a good one too). I TRULY believe we can love some one ( with ALL their faults) unconditionally.....Just my two cents.

    If I say I love my wife (if i still had one) unconditionally, is this true? I may think it's true because you means everything to me and I feel I would give my life for her. However, there is a hugely limiting condition driving this love right from the start. She's my wife; your not; nor are the other 6.5 billion people on the planet. If this type of love was any more conditional, I wouldn't love at all.

    When we love our significant-other, or our children, there is also a hidden selfish reason. We identify with them. Our sense of self is dependent on them. Who would I be without my dear wife? Who would I be without my children? We may confuse the ego's fear and instincts for self preservation as love. It's not.

    I don't mean to belittle our love for our families, it can be a very beautiful thing. But the affection and allegiance we have for our own kin and mates, is often little but conditions.

    Sweet Gracie, please don't worry about my age, we need some unconditional flirting here.

    Yes, that's a picture of me about three years ago, with about six weeks of intense digital photo manipulation.
