unconditional love is not an option. everyone should be held to the same standards. people shouldnt be given special considerations based on my or your love for them. love should encourage people to exceed the standards, not deviate from them. unconditional love would allow for acceptance of anything, which no one should be willing to do. i think, like freedom, unconditional love is an imagined ideal. unfortunately, it is an ideal that has permeated modern religious culture to the extent of mentally capturing monogamous partners in an unattainable concept. it creates an environment of acceptance of deviation, where only the partner is willing to accept you as you are, and likewise. this is a partner form of isolationism. it is us against the world. you are the only one who understands me. NO, i am the only one who allows you to be your true self, or better to say, how i let you be. this began in the concept that once two people are joined that they are "together forever" mandatory, "till death do us part". this is not the norm for modern people, but for the generation before this one, and people still suffering from the old ways, this is the way. the idea that you are stuck with someone is where unconditional love comes from. basically, i cant leave you, and you wont do as i ask, so i guess i "love" you unconditionally. i have experienced this condition, and am glad to be enlightened from it. i can attest to the fact that it is unhealthy to give a person love who takes it for granted. it hurts them more than it helps them. i am honestly and truly in love with the sexual revolution and alternatives to the traditional partnership templates because of the spiritual growth it is gifting humanity. for catholicism and christianity to come in and tell people that anything but male to female monogamy is a sin is outright bullshit. in my opinion, people should earn the love that they receive from partners and communities alike. especially considering that love is a concept experienced uniquely by each individual, unable to truly be put into words; it is important not to give "acceptance" (which is what "love" is) where it is not due. if we were not so accepting, wars would not happen, nuclear power would not happen, and slavery would not happen. get up~stand up~stand up for your rights ( to not have to accept what you think is wrong )

i appreciate your opinion.
i appreciate your opinion. and i agree that we should stand up and not just accept something we believe isn't right. but i have come to feel that love is much more than acceptance. love is when the lower mind- concerned only with itself- discovers that it is concerned only with the welfare of the beloved. love is ecstatic and joyful. love is the brightest of emotions. i believe that unconditional love is the source energy for all existence. like the sun it shines on all equally. at times i have found it very hard to accept that love... it seems easier just to forget about it. and so we can choose to tap into that energy or not.
Very interesting
Very interesting perspective. I have never looked at unconditional love like that. I do agree with you that it is unhealthy to give someone love if they take it for granted continuously (I have most certainly taken love for granted and if it wasn't for the other person in the relationship leaving me, I probably would never have the motivation to change..we need our karma to change our ways) but i believe that we should still send them loving thoughts but we do not need to be in an intimate relationship with them. I think the idea of unconditional love is more about forgiveness. I have ex significant others that I have forgiven for things done to me, but I would never return to that intimate relationship because it is just not good for either person.
