Is unconditional love - Reality or myth


This is a topic I've thought about considerably and have figured out a few concepts on the subject. First lets see what can be called 'unconditional love' in the true sense:
"It should be love for a person or something where no conditions apply for your love to be present" (my definition)
Let us elaborate this with a few examples:

1- Suppose Tom loves hamburgers (he thinks unconditionally) so is it unconditional love? It can be but it should be able to withstand the following tests; will Tom still love hamburgers if he's had too many, will he if he's sick and nausea-sous, will he if he finds out that the place where he got his favorite hamburgers used to make them out of dead dog meat ! etc etc

2- Suppose Ben loves Carly, may think unconditionally, so does he? may be, but he would have to love her no matter what the case or situation. Like what if Carly is found dating another man? What if Carly's face gets burned by acid? What if Carly kills Ben's beloved mother? And suppose Carly just ignores Ben and lives her own life, gets married has kids, gets old. Will Ben who's a nobody to Carly still love her when they're 60 yrs old with their own families and they have never seen each other in 40 yrs ! ?

I think unconditional love for humans is too difficult but perhaps not impossible. But there is someone who can and does love unconditional forever and ever that's God.
