Unconditional Love?
Unconditional love is a crock of shit. Love may not always be a rational emotion, but to love unconditionally is to walk around with a sign on your head that says "SUCKER." Unless you're Jesus Christ, but come on even the big JC only gives you everlasting life and all that jazz if you believe in the guy. It's NOT UNCONDITIONAL! If my man J can't love unconditionally, what chance do we have?
I hope no one mistakes this as a pessimistic or cynical view of life. I don't think I'm a cynical person at all, but I have to roll my eyes when this subject comes up. To me, love is an ongoing transaction. If one party fails to deliver, why should the other continue?
I'm not trying to get all Mr. Economist though. Love definitely is an intangible and unmeasurable emotion, but what I'm saying is someone CAN do something that crosses the line and forces me to reconsider where that person fits in my life. Of course I'll have different tolerance levels for different people, but I don't believe for a second that there exists a person that I will love unconditionally. This includes family as well as friends.
If you don't agree, explain to me why.
