1. So what makes love unconditional? The phrase unconditional love is often misunderstood; people think it means that there are no limits and can go into dark territories. Actually (IMHO), the phrase has more to do with the willingness of the participants to accept their partner, warts and all. Let's say Bob and Mary (just names, not real people) declare their unconditional love for each other. Then Bob gets arrested for embezzling at work. Mary sticks by her man all through his trial, and later visits him in prison and continues to love him even when he admits that he did the crime. That is unconditional love. 2. Does it only exist if two partners are compatible with each other? Again, it has more to do with the two partners being willing to commit to each other. Unconditional love is often professed between two people who are in love, but are not married to each other. Young people often use U.L. between each other when their parenyts tell them not to be with each other. I once knew a couple who had an U.L. relationship specifically because the girl had been told by her mother to drop the boy because he was a black leather greaser type. Unconditional love is often used by such participants who are incompatible with each other because they think it makes them 'martyrs to love'. Very romantic, of course. In the example I just cited, everyone knew the guy was bad news, but the girl offered U.L. because it made her love for him more dramatic. 3. Why is it that some couples get "bored" of each other while they once claimed that they were absolutely in love? I think it is human nature more than anything else. The person may not have truly been in love, or one partner changes and is no longer quite so adorable. That can happen. In the case above, the girl was confronted with the boy's criminal record and had a change of heart regarding her relationship. The relationship ended, and the girl had a near-breakdown. 4. Do you trust someone who will be there to catch you when you fall? You know years ago I took part in something called a "trust walk". One partner was blindfolded, and they were given a "guide" who was someone they knew very well. The guide was supposed to lead the other person through a park for a ten-minute period. It was a test of just how much you trusted the other person. Peeking meant that you did not really trust them, and constituted a breach of the trust you had in the other person. Result? Nearly everybody peeked! Trust in the other person had some serious limits!  |
