Something with no limit is everywhere. It is universal, unstoppable, and unavoidable.
But we KNOW there are people who do not feel love. They cannot see it. They don't find it when they look. They are out of touch with love, for whatever reason.
So we also know that love has a limit. It is NOT infinite or unlimited, even if some samples of it SEEM to be.
One definite limit seems to be a mind. Though it is not uncommon for a child to love a stuffed animal, I don't think it is objectively accurate to say that the stuffed animal loves the child back (even if it seems subjectively true for the child). Objects do not love. Only living things... and probably only ones with minds.
But all minds - as mentioned above - do not seem capable of finding love. So there are more limits. We can find virtually identical external circumstances that evoke love in one mind and not in another, so this suggests that the barrier is within the mind itself.
Some minds do not provide a place for love to occupy, and so they cannot find it. Sometimes this has a biological cause (there are neurological conditions which make a person incapable of love) and sometimes not.
Even for minds capable of love, there are often further limits. Few loves last in the face of maltreatment from the object of their love, and some do not persist because the mind itself changes. More limits.
There do seem to exist some minds which do not run up against any but the first of these limits... but those seem to be the exception rather than the rule. They may not understand how others can claim love to be so small, but perhaps they are in a poor place to judge such things.
So it goes. Peace.

The easy answer is that Love has no limit, but people use the word differently. Declarations of love flow in every marriage ceremony, but over half of those marriages end before death intervenes. As an amorphous concept, there is no limit to love; when people try to capture it, though, and claim infatuation or general amorousness as being love, or claim that they are experiencing a love as no other being ever has in this dark, imperfect world, this focusing of the concept imposes limits.
In other words, love has only the limits a person gives it. Any time someone tries to define love, the defining process will place some parameters around it. If, for example, love is defined as something bestowed on one other person, then that love is limited to that person. Further, if someone chooses to limit love based on what that someone receives in exchange for love, the limit is fairly obvious. If someone decides to love another person forever and ever, but then "falls out of love," well, it can't really be called limitless.
Oh, and in case it is deemed relevant, I am married, happy, and generally not bitter about my life...

Love has no limit as it did not come from greed or of ignorance. Love sprouts from all the positive things of a human. Only man has the limit. And often the not we tend to push this aside, as we act by greed and sometimes we take people as things by owning or possessing them. We cannot do this with love. As it is a free thing, not of a choice...love cannot be dictated or taught...its universal that anyone and everyone could feel and experience it in all manner small, deep or big.

The limit to LOVE is when the person you care for does something foolish and hurts you then you start having second thoughts.

It is easy to recognize the characteristics of love therefore the limit is when the characteristics do not exist anymore.

I think....
unnurtured love eventually dies..therefore, the limit of love is its need to be nurtured.
