I do not believe in unconditional love. There are always conditions, whether conscious or not, and whether intentional or not.
If you don't do a, b, or c, I will withhold my affection for you. If you don't love me as I want to be loved, I will not love you as you want to be loved. If you do this, I'll do that.
For pets, if you don't feed me and love on me, I will shit in your shoes.
For children, if you do not give me the attention I seek and need, I will act out to get it, find another source to get it, or turn the demon inward.
These are just examples. I actually think that loving with conditions is a good thing. It's built in protection.
Person A is constantly hurting my feelings and trash talking me, so, though I do love him/her, I will withhold my affection and attention and put more space between us. I will take myself out of that negative energy space. That's a good thing.
