Yes. Unconditional love does exist. But you won't see it in any romantic comedy or basically any of the mainstream media--"media" meaning "books" (a term used very lightly for most recent literature), movies, T.V., the internet, etc.

Where you'll find unconditional love is in families. You'll find it in churches. You'll find it in soup kitchens, hospitals, disaster relief organizations, hospices, in the work of EMT's, soldiers, missionaries, social service workers, nurses, CNA's, and, most of all, in the lives of everyday people of all kinds and professions. Sometimes, very rarely, you'll find such love between two people who are married, along with romantic love.

I say "married" because no other word adequately captures a true, lasting, self-sacrificial, strong, deep, mutual relationship--even, dare I say it--a life-long commitment.

I see all this in other people's lives, many other people's lives, but not in mine. And that's entirely my fault. That said, unconditional love is still possible. I see it every day. I believe in it wholeheartedly, but I don't think it's possible for me to execute it anymore.

unconditional love is a construct, an idea, if you will. everything has conditions. unconditional love is something to strive for, but few can love unconditionally on a day to day basis

most of us have some kind of conditions....no abuse, equal contributions to the household and such

but I have seen some in my family come pretty close to unconditional love...I think the love of a parent for a child comes close...but we expect more of our adult partner

not to say that we should give up trying to achieve the abilty to love as fully as possible. when u think of folk who have lasted many years in a good marriage, most of those have given unconditionally one to the other at various times over the years
