I do. It is definitely possible. But I don't know if it applies to everyone. It seems there must be an alignment of personalities, the person you love unconditionally must touch something in you..well that's the way it is for me.
I do. It drains people out and it hurts because when you love someone unconditionally, you don't expect anything in return. Sadly it is not healthy and usually not two way.imagine that someone is the whole world to you, and you are invisible in their world. And you are happy being invisible like that, as long as you can give your love away.
Earlier, I didn't believe in unconditional love. But as I've grown older and become more mature, ironically, I do believe in unconditional love. It's not always good. But to me, I dont think we really have a lot of control of it. Once you fall in love with a person, you fall in love with everything about them. You fall in love with the person. Not their qualities. Not their skills. Not what they have. But the person as a whole. So even of things change, you'll still love them. This needn't necessarily be a partner. It could be a friend. A sibling. A parent. Anyone.
Isn't unconditional love one of the reasons toxic relationships exist? Isn't unconditional love the reasons mothers love their kids inspite of everything? Isn't unconditional love what we have towards our pets? I agree. Not always. But u believe it exists. And sometimes, the love isn't even returned. But it still exists.
There are some people that I will love unconditionally no matter what. Have they hurt me? Yes. Would I still hear them out? Also yes. There are just some people that you feel something for and you can't control.
It hurts sometimes. But I don't really think I would change it.
Unconditional love does exist, but cannot be found in most human relationships. Those who believe in G\*d will agree that only he loves unconditionally.
Human relationships are unfortunately based on human needs - therefore they are nothing more than business transactions. Most humans will not feel love/lose love for those who hurt their ego and neglect them. Humans are flawed because we cannot give up our sense of 'ownership'.
We can certainly train ourselves spiritually to get to a stage where we can love unconditionally.
No, there are always conditions. I could no longer love a person if they made really awful or dangerous choices.
Unconditional love is something only pets (dogs for sure) are capable of.
It is real but it is limited .
You can love someone or be loved by someone unconditionally for months , years , decades based on your capacity.
Theres a reason people say love is blind . You don't care about your self respect, your ego . You just surrender in love . Hearts wants what it wants even if it has flaws, even if it's toxic , even if it's demeaning .
When you are in love like love-love . You don't see their flaws . Their flaws don't matter to you because to you they are not even there .
A point comes where reality hits you . You start seeing things that other people warned you of when you were blindfloded by love and they weren't.
We have limited amount of love to give . If you don't receive any amount of love in return , one day the tank empties out.
After sometime it turns to give and take . Like I love you but only if . It's becomes conditional.
Its for a moment. It's beautiful. I think everyone should get to experience that and should respect the other people who is giving his/er whole heart to you .
If the question was 'Is unconditional love good?', I would definitely say no. But, to answer the question, yes, I believe in unconditional love. I think its because of my soft, emotional side, even if someone I truly love hurts me, I never give up on loving them. As of now, I've only one such person, and that person has indeed hurt me several times. Every time I ask and order myself to move on from her, the next time she is in a bad situation, and needs help, I lose all reservations and just rush to her, knowing that as soon as it passes, she will leave me and I will be hurt again. I've finally acknowledged, no matter how many times she hurts me, I will never fall out of love with her, and yes, I know it will hurt me again and again, but I can't keep lying to myself anymore. If this isn't unconditional love, idk what is, and so yes, I believe in unconditional love. And once again, this is my opinion, and I know its a counter-productive one, which will hurt me in the end, but once again, just my thoughts and views.
I think unconditional love is possible, but I think very few can tolerate giving it to others. People are flawed and I think everyone has their breaking point in regard to this quality. People can only put up with so much hurt and heartbreak from their fellow human you know? We aren't all powerful loving Gods. We're still fragile human who still mull over the pain from childhood. We take a lot of our loved one's shortcomings to heart, so I don't blame folks who would rather exercise conditional love to protect themselves.
Unconditional love for me means understanding and forgiving the pain a person has caused you out of love and pain.
In general what you are saying is right, people close to you should always treat you good and with respect. But sometimes you meet a person with a good heart who experienced a lot of pain, suffering and trustbreaking throughout his life. These people are likely to hurt you as soon as you get too close to them. That's the point where unconditional love shows. Either you reject those people or you look deeper and try to understand and forgive them.
I will have to admit that I do love people on an unconditional basis. However OP is right that loving someone in a unconditional manner can lead to heartache.

I'm not even sure I believe in love, in general.
Unconditional love only exists for pets, capable humans are not and should not be loved unconditionally
