Is there such a thing as unconditional love?

MookieB · Accepted Answer

Absolutely, but like so many geniuses, Wonder probably will not be recognized as such until years or decades after his death. Studying a database of nearly 25 studio albums, and specifically examining Wonder's "classical period from 1972-1976, there's a discernible "abundant melodic ideas... appropriately varied from style to style, yet he is surprisingly consistent with the basic vocabulary from which he draws... Wonder experiment (s) with different musical collections for wide-ranging melodic expression, such as whole-tone, modal (mainly Dorian and Mixolydian), chromatic, and major and minor scales. (see Lovelle, J. "AN EXPLORATION OF MELODY, HARMONY, AND IMPROVISATION IN THE MUSIC OF STEVIE WONDER" 2012, University of Oregon Graduate School.) Wonder's ability to delve into the genre-breaking complexities of jazz music, one of the more emblematically "American" (read "USA"), Wonder’s harmonization of pentatonic bass lines important stylistic deviations set him apart from the common pop and rock practice. A survey of his numerous professional awards dhows Wonder has defied pigeonholing for a span of more than half a century. For example, in his “Maybe Your Baby,” composition, parallel major triads occur on scale degrees 3 and 4 of the minor pentatonic, visible in the harmony-providing clavinet section. Unfortunately, because Wonder is yet a 20-early 21st century artist, and too often confined by critics as residing in the "pop" or "R&B" categories, his genius will not be identified by most as being tantamount to that of Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, the last of whom died in 1827 (Beethoven). So, if trends persist, Wonder's place in the echelons of popularly recognized musical geniuses may not be cemented until, well, at least 2100. (That doesn't mean the rest of us have to wait, of course.) There's more to genius than meets the eye.

Unconditional love is one of those ideas that sits right on the edge between emotion and myth, and people usually mean extremely diverse things when they say it. There is something real behind the concept—but it’s not as simple as “love without limits.” Without rules, you have chaos—even in relationships.

No. Hate to say it, but that's just how interactions are in society and basically every dynamic between living things. Even at a cellular level, cells decide which other cells are good and bad for their environment and react accordingly.

People don't love unconditionally. Not even parents do, although they're the closest thing to it. When it comes to dogs

When you choose a partner, you're judging them based on many factors. You don't choose just anyone on the block. Even whether they're a good person or not is part of "what they bring to the table." There are other factors, like if they're financially stable (which almost every girl would say is extremely important), if they're a family person, if they're kind to everyone around them, how intelligent they are, how well conversation flows with them, how similar/compatible they are with you, how physically attractive they are to you, or sexually compatible, etc. Those and many more, are factors or things that they bring to the table that people cannot ignore.

Even when it comes to kids and parents, there's a certain point at which anyone would cut them out. If they've become too toxic to your household or to your life and nothing good comes from interacting with them, you cut them out.

And even if you have a pet dog (which everyone says is unconditional love... it's not), if you don't feed them, take them out for walks, pick up their shit, play with them, without expecting anything other than their love and joy being around you, let's see how long they'll remain friendly with you.

That's why God made Dog cause men just weren't getting it so god had to make a dog to teach man unconditional love This is the reason why we're all here to master that to become that frequency, to be spiritual
 When you can fill all 3 of those together throughout your whole body is when you start life you start learning. That is just like everything else in life Somebody will ask you , do you know math and you say yes , subtraction , and addition. And you think you haven't mastered and then they have another man , multiplication and division , and then you find out there's a algebra And you think you understand everything? And then there's trig And so on level after level  Life and love are the same. Way, there's level after level, but it's how we get. There is the most important what we learn as we are getting there And of course, there's so many different levels and types of love. Like it says become one with self Become one with others Become one with the universe and god And that is a form of love that is a purity And this is, who we are all meant to be, but do you ever think we'll get everybody on the same page To answer your question , yes , I do believe in that , because that's the way I try to live each day

As a relationship coach here to sprinkle some magic into love lives, I'm here to say unconditional love is like a cute, mythical unicorn. 🦄 Rare but possible! It's all about embracing someone with all their quirks and flaws. However, you gotta watch out for those red flags, like ghosting or lovebombing, which can tarnish that magical connection. Love should feel like a warm hug, not a rollercoaster ride. ❤️ Find what makes your heart smile and nurture it!

Summeroflove · Answer

Yes but it’s a choice. People have to choose to love one another both when things are going good… too good. Too comfortable and not stop putting effort in. As well as in periods of financial problems and sickness and other turmoils.

If only one person loves unconditionally you’ll become miserable. Through abuse, cheating, and one sidedness it takes both people working together. Not having affairs. Not leaving… Even when yeah maybe they can find someone else. But you don’t have that bond with them.

Nik1hil · Answer

Yes but it's Never Mutual between 2 people and It's not usually Romantic..

The +10,000 Year Old Wisdom divides Loves Into - Prem, Sneh, Vatsalya.

Prem = Romantic Love.

Sneh = Attachment Love, with Family and relatives.

Vatsalya = Attachment Love with only Ones Children's.

Now , If you Looking for Unconditional Love it does exists but only One way, and for good reason I will Mention the way.

We will Use 4 Gender roles in family to chart out the Love bond - Husband, wife, son, daughter.

A Husband will Romantic Love his Wife Unconditional. While His Vatsalya/love for children is Unconditionally to his daughter but his son till puberty.

A Women/wife will conditionally love her husband, but will Vatsalya/Love her Children Unconditionally, her daughter's till puberty and her Son till end of time.

The Son will have conditional Love for his Parents and His Sister, but will follow above pattern of Husband Post Marriage.

The Daughter will have conditional Love for her parents and His Brother, but will follow Above pattern of Wife Post Marriage.

Only PREM is significantly Unconditional Love!.. and Only Man is Allowed to do it Romantically because it has the Power of DESTROY the one who Bears it!.. But it Ensure Safety of His Bloodline..

If any of this Structure goes into Imbalance!. It leads to INCEST! If Children Start Loving Parents of each other Unconditionally Sneh --> Prem or Romantic Love!..

I say no. Maybe between a baby and the parents, but between men and women, no. A relationship is transactional. In order for a man or woman to say ok I want to be with this man or woman, certain conditions have to be met. Let’s say for example he can’t be abusive to her whether physically or verbally. For men a lot of men want a girl who doesn’t have a past, so that’s one of the conditions men require. A lot of women want a man who makes as much as them or more, that’s another condition. A/he can’t cheat, that’s another condition. A lot of women want men who are chivalrous, they expect a man to pay for dates, plans dates, trips, protect, etc, etc. Women tend to want men who are of certain height, men want beauty. Two are two more conditions that men and women prefer. So no I don’t think unconditional love exist in that way. Even w children, some parents will kill their offspring. I think where that only really exist is between a dog and its owner. But even then if the dog is abused the dog isn’t as excited or loving to their owner.

Yes but we as people forgot how to love Unconditionally. Unconditional love is how an apple tree makes apples for no reason at all other then to give itself away, and better the planet. A person can eat the apple, an animal, or no one at all. The apple tree will keep making apples untill it can't... its purpose is to make apples simply because it UNCONDITIONALLY LOVES TO MAKE APPLES. Because of that we say Apple trees Unconditional love the earth. Their only purpose is to give and mutiple the abundance here.

To love Unconditional a person has lose their ego. Forget everything we think we are and that makes me separate from you. And find our real purpose. Love is selfless, only we have made it selfish. Ill love you IF you "make me happy".

Unconditional love is what love is. Conditional love is really lust. Its looking for happiness in Condition you can't control by pretending you control them... lust is a part of love, but its a fractured part not a whole.

Yes, but it is hard to find in today’s world. It may be due to changing times, but I truly believe it still exists. Someone that loves regardless of what their partner is going through. For example: Medical issues, locked up in jail, job loss, or family troubles. If there was a person like that out there that loved me unconditionally, I would marry her in a heartbeat. The reality is, people are imperfect, and we need to be in love with ourselves before we can love back to the best of our ability. I would stand with someone no matter what they were going through (medical troubles, mental illness, alcoholism, abuse from family, etc.) if she were the right one for me and I knew she would stick through everything even if I were on a hospital bed or got let go from a middle management/executive job and had to work at McDonald’s. Those people are rare, but they do exist. Just have to find “the one”.

RavVid · Answer

Couple love is highly transactional. Few would think good for him/her they incremented their body count. Aside from that there is a large scope of things which are unacceptable.

Possibly parential love is close but even then there are limits.

I don't know anymore. My answer used to just be no, there's always conditions. Like if she becomes a mass murderer can I truly still love her?
But after my last relationship I don't know anymore, because it feels like ill always love her no matter what but instead of no longer loving her it would just give me immense pain she betrayed herself by doing such a thing if she'd do that. Naturally she'd never, I love her for a reason of course.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

Romantically speaking? Certainly not !
That would be horrible lol.

Imagine I would still love her even if she would hurt me? This isn't something to wish for... No, the only unconditional love that makes sense to me is for my kid.

samael_kmarty · Answer

It exists only for a few people.
I don't think in current generation have that.
I have seen men and women (women specifically) looking for more options even in a commited relationship having a backup option. Men do that too but compared to women far less.
Men cheats a lot but now its equal.
Meeting the right one is luck.

Molding someone to fit the standard is the best option but we don't do that.

I think people are too obsessed about career and money.

If you're LUCKY enough to be born with two parents who really care about you than yes. But that is pretty much where it ends. With everyone else it's only contingent on that you PROVIDE SOMETHING. And that goes for old or young, or man or woman.

MrOracle · Answer

Only woman, children, and pets can (potentially) be loved unconditionally. Men - aside from their own mothers (and that's far from guaranteed) - will never be.
