Love is when you care about someone else to the same degree that you care about yourself, not more, not less, but the same. If you love yourself, then you care about your own well-being and you won't allow anyone to disrespect you under no circumstances whatsoever. Moreover, love is definitely CONDITIONAL. To consider love as being unconditional means that you have no set boundaries and will put up with whatever someone does to you no matter how hurtful or disrespectful it is to you. This is not love, this is called low self-esteem. I quite agree with the previous thoughts on love being CONDITIONAL. Definitely. God did not put us here to be other peoples' doormats and these is a limit to what you should be tolerating in a loving relationship. I think human to human love is better for both individuals if it is CONDITIONAL. The only uncondtional love comes for God our Creator and Saviour. He will love you no matter what, He will forgive you no matter what. Humans practising UNCONDITIONAL love could be self-destructive, but at the same time, it could open the heart to levels of operation beyond human comprehension. Love is from God. It cannot exist in the midst of evil,dishonesty and deceit - so abusive,unfaithful and such relationships can not maintain love.
