What is Unconditional Love? Celebrating Global Love Day

Unconditional love is hard to explain. Applying it to ourselves is sometimes even more difficult. That’s why this Global Love Day is inspired by the phrase “Love begins with me.” Our self-love is often buried beneath layers of trauma, guilt and pain, which makes it easy to overlook the fact that love is always present.

 

What is Global Love Day?

Global Love Day is a global holiday dedicated to expressing unconditional love.

When is Global Love Day?

Every year on May 1.

How did Global Love Day start?

The history of Global Love Day began in 2004, when “The Love Foundation” began the holiday with the hopes of unifying and celebrating humanity through acts of love. Their website states it best:

We are one humanity on this planet.

All life is interconnected and interdependent.

All share in the Universal bond of love.

Love begins with self-acceptance and forgiveness.

With respect and compassion we embrace diversity.

Together we make a difference through love.

First things first, is unconditional love possible? Those who ask this question, along with those who are quick to answer it, often mistake what unconditional love really means. You’re probably apt to say something like “the love between a mother and child,” but unconditional love is different from familial bonds. It can exist between familial bonds, but people often search for it in romantic relationships as well.

Unconditional love means caring about someone else’s happiness even though it has no benefit to you.
