I heard a good one recently on The Way Forward Podcast. “Love is unconditional acceptance of another being, despite their flaws or faults”
Discussion
Hard disagree here. Unconditional love is not something you should want or expect. Without conditional guard rails some people will abuse "unconditional love" to no end.
it is possible to love unconditionally even those who hurt you, while at the same time putting up boundaries to prevent present or future harm. sometimes those who hurt you teach you a valuable lesson
Maybe you can, I for sure can't. If I " loved" someone and they killed my dog I would no longer love them.....I would think of them as monstrous.
