Answer 2

Does Unconditional Love Exist

Answer 3

It can and does exist when "unconditional" is defined as meaning, "I'll love you no matter what you are." A parent will love a child whether not the child is a good student, thin or overweight, etc. The same type of unconditional love probably exists between couples - again, someone loves someone else regardless of what that other person is.

The is a point, though, where what a person may cross over into what a person does; and, for example, in the case of the husband who beats the children or of a son who robs banks or kills people, it is possible for any previous unconditional love to be damaged and - even if someone doesn't do big, horrible, things and instead just has a pattern of doing one little rotten thing after another - destroyed.

So there is such a thing as unconditional love as long as it is interpreted as having no conditions on what the other person IS. If someone expands the definition to include "no matter what a person does" then even then it probably exists in some cases.

With regard to first kind of "unconditional love" - it can and does exist; but it is unconditional and not invincible.

Answer 4

The love of a parent for a child is an example many people think of because it comes very close to unconditional love. But we forget that we all must change our bodies (death). Is loving the memory of child who has died the same as loving the child? Is the parent who dies before the child still able to love the child? Isn't death a condition that obstructs our ability to love? If we don't go on to another life in another body, as those who don't accept spiritual existence believe, that what becomes of the love then? And if we do go on to another life after this one, can we continue to love someone we can't remember?

Yes, unconditional love does exist, but in order to really experience it, both the lover and the beloved must be deathless, ie., death doesn't end the association. This is a totally spiritual experience, not something that is possible in this material world. Death comes to put an end to all of our loving relationships here -- pet and master, parent and child, etc. So, yes, it does exist, and if we repose our love in the Supreme Lord, the one who is the source of all love, then we will be able to experience eternal love, deathless love that has no limits.

Answer 5

That is a lot! I'm not sure my answer's worth it but here goes anyway. Except for God's love and some parents toward their children (and I'm not totally sure about that), I don't think unconditional love really does exist. I think we all put conditions on our love whether or not we realize it. Some are big conditions, some small but there are always some, I think. That's the cool thing about God, he loves me know matter what. He even let's me yell at him to get it out.

Answer 6

No, sorry, it's not a record. When Donald Trump and Al Gore had their questions up, the answers were over 1,000.

Yes, I believe it does exist, but in certain relationships. Between a mother and child, it can exist more often than not. Beyond that, most adult to adult relationships usually have some need, some agenda...something...that hinders a true unconditional love relationship. Sad, but true. I have pondered this for years and that is what I have come up with as a conclusion.

Answer 7

Yes !! Its does exist.. Only if a woman and man love each other unconditional and work on there love and happiness 24/7 for the rest of there lives.. Today people think , all they must do , is to love and everything will fall in place.. Without any hard work , noting will work out..

Answer 8

Do you really mean 'love' or unconditional relationships? A relationship is something you build and work on, and with a lot of work, it could be unconditional. Love is just a chemical emotion, an addiction if you will, and it is only unconditional as long as the infatuation hasn't worn off. Like a drug that your body hasn't built up a resistance to yet.

Answer 9

Yes, it sure does. the word you are probably looking for to better define your question is 'ACCEPTANCE!"

Between Twins, like my beloved twin sister, Teri and me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the only unconditional love that I have ever found.

Between mothers, fathers,lovers, haters, wives, husbands, children, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles??? It is never unconditional. For those who say that love for your kids is unconditional? Think really deep about it. Mom? Dad? Mess up once with any of those I just mentioned, kids being the first, and they may not speak to you the rest of your life!!!!! And you may not want to speak to them either if they are total little phuc ups. Children? There are always conditions and believe it or not, OMG! WOW! Parents and children put conditions on each other all of the time.

I don't have to obey my twin sister and vice verce. Twins know complete, total, unconditional love...if they were raised together and love each other.

Answer 10

Unconditional love exists when you can't imagine yourself without someone for the rest of your life. If you can spend hours in a room without saying a word and it is not awkward, if you do things for someone just because they were there (back-rubs, give a gift, do their chores), if their presence is the only thing you need, you have unconditional love. Any relationship with unconditional love usually ends in marriage and a long and happy life.

Answer 11

It absolutely does exist. Most definitely a Mother's love for her children is unconditional.I doesn't matter what they do, you may not approve, but rarely do you see a mom turn away from her children. And then there are the grandchildren. I know mine can do no wrong, and i would surely give up my life for anyone of theirs. Now if you are talking about a love between a couple, that is a different story... There are many conditions placed on that kind of love.
