What is unconditional love? What does it mean to accept someone for all that they are or are not?

On one hand, it could truly mean you love a person to bits. That you see all their mistakes, fall backs, bad qualities and everything that is ever negative about them and you love them for even all of that. You love the whole package.

Thats a toughie i think.

On another hand, i wonder if one just overlooks mistakes and faults of a person when they say they love you unconditionally. Of course, they will get annoyed when your faults or mistakes affect them directly one day. Id be surprised to see someone say, 'I still love you even for your faults' when you have just screwed up with their lives. But they just dont think too much about your faults, they just push it all out of their range of perception for the time being.

Well, we are all humans, entitled to judgements, feelings, emotions.

But i personally think, its the latter thats dangerous. When they overlook your faults, they are not accepting you for all that you are. Not only are they not accepting, they are choosing to ignore what they do know about you, importantly, because it is something they dont like and so dont want to think about. Which means, its still there at some obscure corner of the helpless human mind, it will come out full force when small issues build up, it will explode and, ultimately, hurt and ruin lives.

Id rather someone not love me at all, then feign ignorance of my faults and one day have it come chasing at my back.

Just a thought, just a little mindless analysis.
