What does An Unconditional Love mean? How do we describe it? If you really want to figure out about this, below I quote Dr. Guy A. Pettitt's some points of view about this matter.
The Unconditional Love
Unconditional love is enlarging the self, and an act of will. It is not a feeling or an emotional reaction. Think of the difference between falling in love, and growing in love through all difficulties and conflicts.
Unconditional love is an act of mental and spiritual will, it cannot and does not take place upon the emotional level, which is where the problems first register. Unconditional love is extending oneself in the service of the spiritual growth of oneself and/or another, independently of reward or the behavior of others.
To truly love in this way could include:
1. To call forth a sense of responsibility, and a capacity to make wise choices.
2. To point out weaknesses people have, - but very caringly so that the best in the person is drawn forth in response, rather than resistance.
3. To challenge people to strive and attain, and discover their true selves..
4. To help people work on their habits and weaknesses so that they become stronger. To show them how to use their will correctly.
5. To help people learn to cooperate, and thus to overcome their little egos.
6. To engage people in working for humanity.
7. To teach people how to overcome their prejudices, resentments, separative tendencies, vanities, illusions, and other blocks to their own joy.
To truly love in this way does not mean:
1. To surrender to weakness.
2. To accept things that are harmful.
3. To encourage weakness or irresponsibility.
4. To accept dirt or ugliness in thought, feeling or action.
5. To exploit or use people.
6. To put people into sleep.
7. To tolerate laziness.
