To me, love is unconditional. That's maybe cuz i'm a dreamer of a sort but, i do believe in the existence of a true love. We all search for love, we all want love, we all need love, and we all wait to be loved. Finding love??.. now, that's a totally different subject.. so.. share your version of love..
thanks..

Stew, I don't know what your view is. Why don't you share with the rest of the class?

There are different kinds of love. I guess most people have all of the kinds they need (friends, family, pet, humane, etc.) except romantic love. The rest are givens, but romantic love you have to work for. Especially if you are a guy.
For me, romantic love is not the stuff you see in movies. Most of the time, those bonds are falsely passionate, overly lustful, and pretty dishonest. I think it is these inaccurate representations that cause issues in our society, but I'll save that for another post I guess. I'll just discuss what I see love as.
Romantic love to me is about investing a part of yourself in a person. It is not unconditional, as people can change beyond the point you can apply those emotions to them. It's about two people being honest, trusting, consistent, and caring for each other with a purpose. It's about sacrifice within reason, compromise, and passion. Not passion in the one-dimensional sense, but in the sense that you care about the development of your mate, and they reciprocate this to you. Love to me is convergence between people with the same values.
It's about complementing your partner, and them complementing you. It's a constantly negotiated thing that you have to constantly work at. If you give all of those things freely and you receive them, there is harmony in the domestic, financial, spiritual, and creative corners of your life. You feel valued, and you feel like you are a part of something special. You don't own it or the other party, it owns you and your partner.
It's at the point that you recognize you have the all the things I've said above, that a feeling touches your heart, spirit, and mind simultaneously. Your heart, because it feels right. Your spirit, because you'll give blindly to maintain it, as opposed to trying to keep it (or take from it). Your mind, as you know it is the right thing. It's then that you feel love, not infatuation, flattery, lust, or a crush. You have that, but you have substance behind that. The person that gives you that feeling is not just a friend, they become family, and you may want to have a family with them, or at least a future regardless of sexual orientation, religion, race, or anything else. There are no borders to it, as it is the ultimate expression of humanity. That's love.
On infidelity, and all that stuff... Love to me does not lend itself to that. Love is perfect. If you do all of the right things, and each party is happy within themselves, there is no room for such grave errors. You both are in love together, finding your way through life as a team. The external world is exactly that, as it can not penetrate or taint your love. If it has, what you had wasn't love. Forgiveness is a part of love, but certain things cannot be forgiven.
I do not care if others disagree, see my view as naive, or too ideal. I live by values that make sense to me, and were passed on by an imperfect couple that practiced what they preached; a pair with a perfect bond that could only be severed by death. I hope I am fortunate enough to find someone that can help close to what they had.
Later, f/f

Many people say unconditional love. How far are you people willing to go to be accounted as unconditional love? I believe unconditional love is if you are willing to give up your life to save him/her. Are people willing to do that?

well, what can i say bout so called LOVE?.... uhmm... its anything you felt inside that sometimes you dunno what to do... its between your mind and your heart... when talking to LOVE you must face the consequences and be brave...Its also sacrifice even though it hurt you so much... LOVE sometimes happy and sometimes sad but what ever it is just enjoy you feel LOVE in a different ways....
Positive thinking is important... Believe in yourself.... - chelfaus78

Pepe's Reference on LOVE
There is no other virtue greater than love --- Bible
For this means love, that you are willing to die for your brother --- Jesus
Love means never having to say I am sorry --- Love Story, the movie.
Love means nothing --- Tennis player
Love Stinks --- J. Geils Band
LOVE... when you are in love... you can t sleep. You cannot go without 5 minutes and 30 seconds without thinking about the one you LOVE... Love... is a disease. -- Pepe.

love ideally is unconditionally. it is something that needs to be worked on and honestly communicated. meeting each other's every need. sacrificing for one another.

LOVE...is complicated, everytime its happen, happen with difference layout.
1004ANGEL, my hugssss here. i read my own feeling through your wording. love him and i hope that he finds love and is happy. I think that is Love. Loving someone enought to let them go and find happiness even if it is not with you. thats how the love power is. a month, a year, 10years...all is real & true love at thats moment. the difference is just at the durable & expired period. life still need to move on we listening too much for this, let work its out, i know its hard & i work-hard right now

The meaning of Love, can be many different things to many different people.
Love to me is unconditional, when you love someone, just because someone makes a mistake, excluding the big no no's, (cheating, lying), if they make a mistake and they are truely sorry for their actions, then one forgives these mistakes.
I recently was going thru a bad time, I won't go into detail, but i was very upset, and felt like i had no one to talk to. I was dating someone at the time, we had been together for a long time. And i agree that i did go a bit "psycho" on them. And i apologized. I even drove to see them to explain what was going on, and why i acted like i did. I thought that i did the right thing in apologizing for my mistakes, and by going there in person, to say it face to face i felt like i was showing them how much they meant to me, and how much i cared about him and our relationship. And how important i thought it was for us to have a open communication.
Well needless to say, i thought things were on the mend. But i was wrong. I tried to call to talk to them, for about 3 weeks to no avail. So i assumed the relationship was over. But i don't think he wanted to tell me that it was over. But i needed some sort of closure, so i was the one who wrote the letter saying good bye. I cried many tears while writing the letter, and thought long and hard about actually sending it. But i did send it, and they have never replied to say good bye or to yell or anything. It is like we never were. And it tears at my heart everyday. I loved this man with all my heart and soul. And to this very day if we could get back together, it would make me the happiest person on God's green earth.
I guess some people can just forget others with out a second thought. But i can not. I think it will take me a long time to recover from this, I still think of him everyday. Wonder what he is doing, how he is, I still love him very much, and i guess i will to my dying day.
I thought i found true love, and i do believe for a time it was real and that he really did love me. It is hard for me to think that being with someone for a year and a half that they can just stop caring one day, I am not built like that.
I love him and i hope that he finds love and is happy. I think that is Love. Loving someone enought to let them go and find happiness even if it is not with you. He has left footprints on my heart that no one will ever be able to wipe away. But life goes on and so must I.
