I will love you only if you are successful and popular.I will love you only if you maintain your attractive looks.I will love you only if you make me feel good about myself.Some of the most common unspoken rules that underpin conditional love include: Conditional love only lasts so long as certain unspoken rules are maintained or met. (you do this, say that, provide this, make me feel this way).Ĭonditional love is inherently selfish and ego-centered.
While unconditional love doesn’t need anything from the other, conditional love is given only when something is received. While unconditional love is limitless and boundless, conditional love is restricted and limited. Unlike unconditional love which is given freely, conditional love has to be “earned.” When this false form of love is earned, only then is affection, respect, and kindness given. This principle echoes the famous words of Jesus, “Love your neighbor as yourself” and other enlightened masters such as Lao Tzu who said, “When you accept yourself, the whole world accepts you.” What is Conditional Love?Ĭonditional love is the complete opposite of unconditional love. In fact, conditional love isn’t really “love” in the truest sense of the word, because it comes from the ego, not from the heart. The more we are able to love ourselves unconditionally, the more we are equipped to love others in the same way. But perhaps most importantly, unconditional love can be applied directly to ourselves in the form of self-love. Unconditional love can also be applied to other beings such as animals and even emotions and thoughts. In other words, no matter what another person says, does, feels, thinks or believes in, we still love them unconditionally. Unconditional love essentially means loving someone or something without any conditions. Unconditional love is not so much about how we receive and endure each other, as it is about the deep vow to never, under any condition, stop bringing the flawed truth of who we are to each other. As we’ll explore, unconditional love is open for you to access in any moment, no matter where you are, or what you’re doing. One of the saddest sights you will ever see is a being who has been completely deprived of unconditional love – and we have all experienced it at some point.īut you don’t need to stay malnourished any longer. Yet unfortunately, we are so starved from experiencing it regularly in our daily lives that we become emotionally and spiritually ill. Indeed, unconditional love is the most healing force in the universe. This feeling is the most embracing and liberating sensation you will ever experience.
