is known as affection without any limitations or love without conditions. This term is sometimes associated with other terms such as
true altruism or complete love. Each area of expertise has a certain way of describing unconditional love, but most
will agree that it is that
type of love which has no bounds and is unchanging. It is a concept comparable to true love, a term which is more frequently used to describe love between lovers. By contrast, unconditional love is frequently used to describe love between family members, comrades in arms and between others in highly committed relationships. An example of this is a parent's love for their
child; no matter a
test score, a life changing decision, an argument, or a strong belief, the amount of love that remains between this bond is
seen as unchanging and unconditional. A common (and ableist) misconception is that
one must love themselves first before being capable of unconditional love; this is simply not
true.
