You didn't miss a thing at all about this subject and I completely agree with you about your example! Sometimes the best unconditional love you can give is to walk away while still holding them in your heart forever, unconditionally. I don't see walking away as a condition on your love, I see it as a safety and self care issue.....and one does not have to stop loving another who has harmed them and very often people do still love those who have hurt.

That is a lovely sentiment and I thank you for sharing it!

Excellent question regarding Junerain's post. In my mind, I think of that last line as sending the hope one has that others may see our light and love. I don't consider it to be a condition. I'm sure many of us have been in the position of giving our unconditional love to someone only to have it kicked and stomped on. How painful that is.....so very painful. I myself have been in that position, but I found that once I was able to work through the pain, my love still was there for the one who stomped on it. I just loved them from a distance and protected myself from more pain.
