  1. i don't really think it's worse than hate, but nonetheless it is bad in it's own right.

  2. i think its worse than hate because
    its like what jesus said
    its better to be hot or cold than lukewarm

    you dont want someone whos just conditionally there for you.

    conditional love in itself is an oxymoron. its contradictory. you cant half love someone just because they are conditionally this or that. thats just disgusting. its shallow and not real

    love in all inclusive and its about loving the good and the bad about a person not just one side of them. loving them conditionally is not love but an obsession of a certain side of someone

  3. yeah but unfortunately as humans that are inevitably fallible our love is almost never, ever, unconditional. There are times when, before doing something good or loving, I know that in the back of my mind or the depths of my heart there almost always exists a hint of selfishness, hope for self-glorification or praise from others. All of that signifies love that is ultimately conditional. Does that mean we should abandon our attempts at loving others every time we recognize the conditions of our love, and instead decide to hate the person or people we're trying hard to love unconditionally? I don't think so. It definitely is bad and we should try, as hopeless as it may seem, to overcome it... but it's not worse than hate.

  4. i think its more about the struggle to make it unconditional than saying 'ok im not perfect and its just guna be conditional'

    i think we have to recognize that perfect love is unconditional and that we should be striving no matter what while understanding our flawed selves

    im not saying im perfect and i will never fully unconditionally love as i am a sinner but i will never stop trying and i will never stop asking forgiveness when i know i am impartial and selfish
