Originally posted by lolofYes, lolof, but also with parents toward children of all ages as well as between trusted friends. Unconditional love however isn't based on the attractiveness of the object but on the virtue, character and capacity to love of the subject initiating the action.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyThank you - I may give the word 'unconditional' a different meaning. To me, it is the love you have for your children and grandchildren - you may not always like what they do, or perhaps how they are at different times, but you will always love them. With grown ups it is not the same. But perhaps we mean the same thing but just express it differently?

Since when did you employ Conan as your ghost writer?

Originally posted by lolofNo, lolof, we mean precisely the same thing. I simply didn't develop the perspective of my reply. Deep bonds of friendship and an intimate romantic relationship anchored to trust and characterized by candor and rapport also require unconditional love. Why? First because you really never love a person until you know that person inside out, best and worst, good and bad, assets and liabilities. For this reason, relationships during intense courtships often worsen before the acceptance of baggage. Second, because adults also mess up, behave obnoxiously and are often 'real stinkers'. To be a world class lover requires being a world class forgiver.

Originally posted by lolofWith this context in view, it's much easier to understand why marrying too young frequently results in emotional heartache, financial misery and life altering disaster. Wedding Bells and immaturity don't mix. Marriage represents a complex/demanding social contract. Takes two strong individuals to make it work. Also, should have mentioned that unconditional love reflects inner beauty which increases with the passing of the years, though physical beauty per se may fade. By the way, you're easy and fun to chat with.
Thank you - you use nice words, and I think they make sense too.
