You can love unconditionally and still want to correct the warts. If my child had warts or defects that could be removed I would remove them, if possible- I would still love my child, but I would not think that keeping them in an unsightly condition was a manifestation of love. Not seeing the warts that are there is called blindness, imo, not love.

If you saw a parent with an unruly child, would you think the parents loved that child if they chose not to correct it? Sometimes love means saying "SHAPE UP", or means you get your loved one the medical attention which they need. It's called helping the one you love- and (imo) it's one of the higher level manifestations of love. Infatuation (and failing to see obvious faults, or any faults) is one of the lowest.

We see that issue in a completely different manner. Isn't that interesting? I'm sure we both think we are right. We may both even BE right, because we want completely different environements to live in, and are comfortable with completely differet ethos.
