Love comes with conditions.
There’s nothing like an “unconditional love”.
There’s always a condition whether explicit or implicit necessary for the reaction of love to take place.
This is why it’s false to say women are loved unconditionally. Or that children are loved unconditionally. Or that mothers or fathers love their children unconditionally.
There’s always a condition.
A man doesn’t just look at a woman and fall in love with her unconditionally. There’s a condition, maybe because she’s beautiful or feminine or for companionship or perhaps for pleasure [sex]. Or all four.
Thing is, we often assume that women are the only ones who love men with a condition because theirs is obvious, that is, the conditions necessary for a woman to fall head over heels in love with a man outweighs the condition it takes for a man to fall in love with a woman. Men also love women with a condition or conditions—they are not just that big of a deal compared to that of women.
A father’s and mother’s love for their children is mostly as a result of the sacrifices they have made as well as the status that comes with having children among their peers.
The love most people have for God is due to the benefits they will enjoy from being close to God. I can go on and on, but I’m sure by now you can see there is always a condition for love.
There’s always a condition for the reaction of love to take place. ALWAYS.
It never comes without a condition.
