Find out. Then you’ll know.
If you mean that self-serving lust you felt for hairyballs then I suppose that's one particular scenario.
'Love' doesn't have 'conditions' by defintion. It's just something that 'is'. The only people who harp on about 'unconditional love' are lust-struck idiots.
And for your information. I was the one who was willing to love Harbal unconditionally because I knew there was more goodness in him than there was darkness. Yes sometimes he irritated the hell out of me, but I instinctively knew he had a heart of gold that was going to be worth clinging on for. It’s going to take great strength and effort to make something worth keeping. The treasure is already within us, we just have to learn how to activate it in unison.
Sadly, Harbal wasn’t so willing to love me unconditionally. He only wanted my “good natured side”
And that’s why I took it upon myself to free the man by force quitting the relationship.
Successful relationships come only when BOTH people commit and consent to unconditionally loving the other.
If it’s just one person committing to it, then the relationship is doomed from the get go.
I already know this because I’m a very smart woman. Some men are quite frightened of smart women. Sad really because they just miss out on what can potentially be a very good time, but they often too much allow their inner whimp to guide them, and mostly are too lazy to work on themselves by integrating both their anima and animus natural nature in a fashion whereby they become fully aligned in perfect rhythm and harmony with both themselves and others.
Most people are just not willing to put in the work, it’s too much effort. And it’s their loss at the end of the day.
The magic awaits us all, for those who are willing to explore it.

In Jungian psychology, "anima" and "animus" refer to archetypal representations of the unconscious feminine and masculine aspects, respectively, within each individual. The anima is the feminine archetype in a man's psyche, and the animus is the masculine archetype in a woman's psyche. These archetypes represent the opposite gender's qualities and are believed to reside in the unconscious mind, influencing conscious behavior and relationships.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Anima:
Represents a man's unconscious feminine side, including aspects like intuition, empathy, and emotional receptivity.
Animus:
Represents a woman's unconscious masculine side, including aspects like logic, reason, and assertiveness.
Jung believed these archetypes are part of the collective unconscious, a shared, inherited mental space across humanity. They are not simply gender stereotypes, but rather fundamental aspects of the psyche that influence relationships, emotions, and decision-making.
Integrating these archetypes into conscious awareness is seen as a crucial step in the process of individuation, a journey toward psychological wholeness in Jungian psychology.
For example, a man might express his anima through his intuition or his sensitivity to emotional situations, while a woman might express her animus through her assertiveness or her logical thinking.
In essence, anima and animus are about recognizing and integrating the opposite gender's qualities within oneself, leading to a more balanced and self-aware personality.
