This is sort of false reasoning. I am explaining myself in regards to your claim about such a love not existing but all you seem to do is assume my feelings and what they mean. I never said it to be accepted by myself, you are reading into things that aren't there. I am merely qualifying the love I have for my dogs. You are making a claim about love but I am giving evidence on why that claim is false. There are also plenty of other people who also exhibit unconditional love or love that isn't egoic. I think you have a narrow conception on the matter.If that was true, you wouldn't need to defend yourself as much as you did. — Gus Lamarch
I would have to disagree with this.I'm just saying that this love is not as deep as you think it is. — Gus Lamarch
Either way, I wouldn't go by your argument on love. — Darkneos
We agree to disagree! — Gus Lamarch
If you say that unconditional love doesn't exist and you're able to reach an agreement as to how you're defining "unconditional love," then you've not submitted as much a philosophical inquiry as an empirical one. So, if someone says that they have experienced the unconditional love you've asserted does not exist, then in order to maintain your thesis that such does not exist, then you're left telling them that they're confused as to their feelings, despite you're having no access to their feelings. What this can only mean is that you yourself lack such feelings and you don't find it possible that someone else should have the feelings that elude you. — Hanover
So what we know is that you've never experienced unconditional love. I know this because you told me. — Hanover
However, to say that something can be "unconditional", that is, that there are no adverse conditions that can change the conception of such a concept by the human individual, is something that human nature itself already debunks in itself. — Gus Lamarch
You said unconditional love didn't exist, so you did in fact tell me that within your personal life you have never experienced unconditional love.I don't remember talking to you about my personal life. In fact, I don't even know why I would do that. — Gus Lamarch
So, if I love my child throughout his life regardless of the ups and downs we might experience — Hanover
You said unconditional love didn't exist, so you did in fact tell me that within your personal life you have never experienced unconditional love. — Hanover
