Provided we parents are in a healthy place. Loving our kids comes closest, if not the epitome of unconditional love. Provided we parents are in a healthy place.

I, too, have a daughter and experienced many of the same feelings you share. They own your heart like no one else and, when they go through the time to reject their moms, it hurts like nothing else. Thankfully, like you, my daughter and I are on the other side of that and we've grown to appreciate each other as two adult women and friends. But there are times I yearn for that sweet toddler who held my hand and turned to me for everything in her life. Unconditional love? Absolutely 100% for sure!

Is that how you go past all of your sensors so that you can get to know someone and then conditional love sets in? Do we love unconditionally in theory, but not in practice? Is it something for the mind to entertain but not in actuality? What's the point of unconditional love? If you hurt someone you'll be excused? Sorry, I just have more questions. One last one: Do I want to be loved unconditionally? I'm not sure--don't I want be held accountable for the things I do and say? Is unconditional love where excuses don't matter? Is that something to desire? Is unconditional love what you have for someone until you get to know him/her?

No entering all those fields and security codes!! I think love is unconditional. People still feel love for people, even after they have broken up. I love commenting on wordpress blogs!

What a gorgeous sunset, have you ever seen the green flash? I heard about it in Hawaii, but I've never seen it. I think some people have standards or preconceptions that prevent them from meeting the right person, like saying he/she is "not my type" before you know anything about them. I don't think everyone is cut out for marriage. For instance, my mom, divorced twice, becuase she is mental/drunk...there are a lot of personal reasons why people can't carry on positive relationships, with anyone. Very provoking!

LOL!!!! In a world of boulders I have mere pebbles!! Your prices seem like a steal! I'm so scared to try selling at craft shows where buyers expect garage sale prices!! You don't even know if you can make back the booth fee! What a shame! I hope it works out for you! Maybe if you stick with it, or try selling on ebay? Good Luck! Boulder holders! LOL!!!!

I think there is such a thing as unconditional love but, being human, we cannot always feel what the Greeks term agape. Because we are all emotionally flawed, have our personal filters, and personal blind spots, the feeling of grace that is inherent to unconditional love often alludes us. We can feel anger, disappointment, annoyance and even rage toward our beloved. As uncomfortable and even horrible as those sentiments might be, I believe they're part of the human condition. However, it is the capacity to return to love after such feelings that leads me to believe that "unconditional love" is real. Looking at that photo of the two absolutely adorable children (yours I presume) just melted my heart. After seeing those faces, who could not believe in unconditional love?
