Love is not mathematics. This again shows the results of the survey about unconditional love that was completed by over 2300 visitors to the websites of the Times and the NCRV.

On the one hand, the unconditional love embraced by the survey participants. As many as 80 percent of respondents believe that a relationship where the partners love each other unconditionally most likely to succeed. Moreover, almost two thirds feel that an unconditionally loving partner helps you to accept yourself as you are and bring out the best in you.

These positive results are not caused by a lack of life experience of the younger Internet generation. Six of the ten participants was 40-plus. They have an average of three permanent relationships. 60 percent are married or living together. More than 1,500 women completed the survey and about 800 men.

The flip side of unconditional love to know the participants. 50 percent believe that unconditional love can be harmful to your relationship because you sometimes need to adjust the other rather than accept. Moreover, 87 percent think it's more important each well and weaknesses realistically to face, than to blindly love one another.

Participants watch make love to blame any of their own misfortune. 60 percent believe that unconditional love only works if you take your own happiness in hand, while only one in three people believe that true love is a guarantee for happiness. There is no majority can be found for the proposition that vacillating love your partner uncertain and the worst in you brings.

A cynic could say that the results are meaningless. The same people who say that the unconditional love that a relationship gives the best chance of success, also indicate that this form of love can be harmful to your relationship because you have to accept everything else is not.

But this marked the Danish physicist Niels Bohr, all of the following: "The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of a profound truth may be an equally profound truth."
