I think there's a marginal difference between the unconditional love between lets say a mother and child and perhaps those conditions that are sometimes applied to our relationships. The conditions of which I speak of are those that we apply to our partners that make undue demands on a relationship and not those that go hand in hand with what should be a caring relationship.
