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.
