Love

Is the phrase "unconditional love" redundant? If anything is conditional doesn't that mean it isn't love?

Can love come with any conditions on it?

Interesting that we have one word for "love" in our language when other cultures have multiple words. Can you really say you love your wife, but then use the same word to describe your affection for the Yankees? Its different. So, yeah, when we're talking about the highest form of love, we have to define it with that modifying word of "unconditional."

I agree that having multiple words for Love, (like greek) would make a huge difference.
