Unconditional Love
The love that exists between parents and their children or among siblings is natural and innate since they are intrinsically connected. While the intensity and expression of the love may be dependent on many factors, the underlying foundation for the love will always remain intact under normal circumstances.
However, is it possible to have unconditional love for someone who is not biologically related to us or even more so for a complete stranger? Or perhaps will there always be some underlying reason, such as the desire for companionship or the feeling of gratification that is experienced while assisting someone in need, that will cause us to develop an affection for another person.
