I don't think it's 'true' love really, sounds like some kind of worship. If I am "giving" that implies that the other person is "taking", right? Would it seem OK to me if they were taking it without owing me nothing i.e. for granted? I don't think so. IP: Logged |

I believe in unconditional love, but is it always healthy. Ive been in situations where I was constantly giving and recieving nothing in return. It was only a matter of time before I exploded. I didnt expect anything from the person but after years of giving, it takes a toll. My idea of unconditional love, has conditions. lolIP: Logged |

I still think that in that situation it was unconditional love because you still gave regardless of how selfish the other person was. Its just that it wasn't an ideal situation where it was reciprocated.

Love of self.. Love of others..If they are both equally strong and equally unconditional, then I'm all for it.. But if you compromise one for the other, it turns into something else entirely. Unconditional love for others with zero love for yourself turns into self-victimization - which has no connection to love.. It’s actually very selfish – not selfless.. and it affects those closest to you in a negative way. On the other hand, unconditional love for yourself while having no love for others turns into narcissism or egoism which again has no connection to love. The meaning of the word ‘unconditional’ in unconditional love, often gets distorted. You can only love another unconditionally if you love yourself unconditionally. There is no -true love- coming from a person who victimizes him/herself or accepts someone else’s abuse.. There are many names for this.. but unconditional love isn’t one of them. Unless you do genuinely love yourself, it’s very unlikely that you’ll attract a person who genuinely suits you both spiritually and physically, who you are then able to genuinely love.. So if a person hurts you, hopefully you will unconditionally love yourself enough to distance yourself and move on.. but also unconditionally love them enough to forgive and wish them all the best.

well since I am an ARCHER myself.. we are obsessed with the idea of "un conditional LOVE"..This concept has haunted me for years...I want to love you like I love moon, sunshine, rain and breeze. I love them but I dont OWN them and never would I want to. and here I am, Love me the way I am and I will love you the way you are... but I promise to work for wht makes you happy. I dont need your energy, I generate it within. just be receptive. and if you wish to move on, I wish you all the best with my most sincere feelings BUT, if you chose to stay with me, I'll be your friend, lover, partner all with no questions asked.

It is something to do with "control issue" and "acceptance"....Sags in general are afraid of being 'controlled' and wild horse in us is never happy when it is bridled. Let me go FREE, It will bind me to your side stronger than any chains. and unless someone is a total "me first" kind or "control freak".. Love always finds a way to sustain... IP: Logged |

Highly Inflamable, I totally liked what you wrote here. I lived with a sag, he was my lover and friend. I've never been with anyone like him. He used to encourage me to go travel explore the world, on my own, while still remaining together. It's something i realised a bit later. He had control over me, by letting go of it. IP: Logged |

lovely,, so you like sitting unvirgin style... hmmmm, sends my mind to draw pictures that wont pass profanity filter here...
just kidding... yeah sag and virgo is one great match... we complement each other. I totally agree. I find women complaining of "withdrawing response" of virgos a lot... it always surprise me.. perhaps being a sag or wht, I dont think virgos go into those "silent backstepping phase"... they just take their time in making up their mind and which is earlier than any sag.. so it suits...
