Unconditional love

Unconditional love is an approximation of human behavior, in that it ever only exists in approximate amounts, but admittedly in varying level per person, per day, per hour, per year, per decade, per century and per lifetime. It's a sought after approximation, in that you want to be as approximative as possible, in nearing its mark, since it delivers the most enjoyable relationships and new individuals (as the offspring of such approximations).
“Love might be unconditional, but relationships aren’t.” Unconditional love is not personal. It's beyond the person. Can any human have it? You'd have to be Buddha. So long has we have a personality we have a conditionality. The beings said to have unconditional love are at least semi-mythical. (Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tse, etc. No one real in history.)
Someone said, “love might be unconditional, but relationships aren’t.” And this kinda nails it. Love is fundamental to life (Freud says libido, and I guess he says love is a manifestation of libido, some Eastern traditions say it's bliss or joy, but whatever it tends to be called life force also), so to claim you have unconditional love for something doesn't really mean much unless you are able to behave accordingly (which she didn't). It means about as much as a parent that tells its kid that it loves it unconditionally, but then doesn't parent anything like that.
