You call criteria for loving a person (or non-living stuff) "conditions". Is that right? So, if I love a person because they are beautiful, in your definition, beauty of that person is a condition?? Oh man... I just think of condition in a much different terms than you do. I see beauty as the criterion or a reason for me to love that person. My love then for that beauty is unconditional.

yeah, our love for beauty is unconditional. Our love of the person might not be😆 . Now, wonderful as the first thought is, isn't the intent of this thread all about the second? I personally think loving someone is not unconditional.

also we go from passion/ lust (think suhag raat in arranged marriages😆) to love (when the sex becomes smoother and enjoyable and more reciprocal😆) to companionship/ love to companionship/ love/ tolerance, with the feeling of love being qualitatively DIFFERENT at every stage. With the passage of time, it's a different kind of love, so in a sense the clock serves as a condition for each kind...😊

- Affection is an emotion or a feeling

- Romantic affection is a sub-type of affection

- Eyecandy, crush, like, love are basically diffrent grades of romantic affection.

- Love is the highest grade.

Now what makes these different? Its not mathematical but I believe with time and under different circumstances if two people manage to maintain the romantic affection then the grade increases and finally we can claim its love. What is that is that seprates love from less serious forms?

- more intense affection

- interest

- sincerity

- lack of conditions

As you move on from eyecandy to love you will be less conditional, more sincere, more interested, more affectionate.

I have answered it in different context. My own. To answer you I believe as you move towards love its get less conditional and true love is unconditional.

Good question Aarya. It could be because they know that the child is theirs for good or worse. Given enough time one may get to love ones spouse too to that extent. Perhaps it is the bonding that takes time to develop in the later case.

Some people don't love their children at all - they disown their children for not conforming to their ideals, they hurt and beat their children. Where's the love?

I think one of the purest or highest forms of love one can have are between parent and child, but there are plenty of parents who don't care about their kids and also vice versa.
