I’m thinking of the term “unconditional love”. And the opposite being “conditional love”, where I shudder, thinking “I don’t want that!”. But, when I track it down, it stems from a “conditioned love” and conditioning I have a lot of empathy for. We’ve all been conditioned in so many ways, for so many years!
