It's easier to give love to someone when it is being reciprocated, or atleast acknowledged. The strength to continue loving someone despite all odds, and the hope that one day there will definitely be reciprocation. How long can unconditional love really last? How long will your mother continue to love you if you have never expressed love but only displeasure towards her throughout your life? How long will you be able to love that one girl you've been crazy about for years if she still chooses to continue ignoring you? The answers to these questions, in my opinion, depend on two qualities: Strength and Hope. Giving it an explanation would undermine it's true value.īut for all its glory, is unconditional love truly unaffected by the absence of reciprocation? After all, that is what the word 'unconditional' would even mean: loving someone no matter what. The most beautiful thing about unconditional love is that it can't be explained. My personal opinion though, is that it doesn't matter. Romantics would bring in the concept of destiny, 'meant-to-be' and whatnot. Elders claim that it is the law of nature. Science gives the credit to a hormone called Oxytocin. There have been many explanations to this phenomenon. So what causes this unconditional urge to love someone, with an absolute immunity against any form and extent of dislike coming from the person being loved? At the same time, many claim to feel that way about someone they're in love with, even someone they don't even fully know about. But we have all heard of several instances where that is not the case. Many would say that parental love belongs to this category, since it is one of the most genuine forms of affection that can be witnessed in Nature. The form that defies all logic and makes you want to love someone irrespective of how that person feels about you. Unless there was another form of affection: the unconditional one. This would mean that affection and love - even in its truest and purest form - is just a function of how nice we are being to each other. If we stop trying to please others or be nice to them, for how long would even our loved ones understand us? That way, theoretically speaking, there wouldn't essentially be a difference between our loved ones and those merely existing in our social circles. But people generally are nice to us only when we are nice to them, or atleast seem like we are willing to be. We all have the innate desire to be liked by others.
