Love's Conditions

Unconditional love, it's a very noble sentiment, no? However, unconditional love is still conditional. But first, let's have a look at what unconditional love love is. Unconditional is an an adjective defined as "not conditional or limited", and love is defined as "an intense feeling of deep affection." Therefore, unconditional love should be intense, limitless, feelings of conditionless, deep affection. This works fine when the person loved never changes, but that isn't realistic. In fact, it is impossible to love someone without conditions. Take, for instance, two young lovers. They are deep in love, , but one makes a mistake when the have a huge argument and cheats. How many people would honestly completely forgive their partners and and move on as if nothing had happened? Better yet, how many people are okay with their significant other in a relationship running around having sex with others? The answer is a resounding no, although I won't rule out that some may be okay with it. Now this isn't a condition for everyone, just some people. Others in open or polygamous relationships may be okay with it, but they may have other kinds of conditions, like being honest, or to take care of them when their sick, or even to always be a nice person. People often use the excuse that the other person has changed, or that their not the same person they used to be. In both cases, they did not love the person. They loved the malleable personality they had at the time. What I feel most people mean when they say unconditional love, is that they will love their significant other through anything that happens to them, not through any changes the person goes through. They'll be there through anything, as long as their significant other remains with that personality. The point is that, no matter what, there exists a condition that, if unfulfilled, would mean the end of that love.
