What is Love? Is it Unconditional?

I think there are a lot of answers to this question. I am not sure the correct answer. It seems obvious, but sometimes it's not. Do we choose who we love, or does it choose us? Do we love someone because the live in the "right" house, wear the "right" clothes, look the "right" way, or do we just love? Do we pull our blinders off, toss away the circumstances of someone's life and choices and say, "no matter what, I choose to love you?" This to me is the type of love that is raw, real, and very difficult. It's the type of love that is often missing in our world. It is the hardest kind of love. I think when you meet someone who chooses to live with this type of love...you are inspired. I think on the flip side, there are those who do not understand this type of true, unconditional love, and that is shown in their questions and judgement. Life for me is a journey. I cannot tell you that I am one of those people with unconditional love for all, yet. I can tell you that I have met people who have inspired me to strive to be like this, to work at it, and open my heart for the possibilities.....
