Unconditional+ love= a term that means to love someone regardless of his or her actions or beliefs. It is a concept comparable to true love, a term which is more frequently used to describe love between lovers. By contrast, unconditional love is frequently used to describe love between family members, comrades in arms and between others in highly committed relationships. Unconditional love separates the individual from his/her behaviors. As adults, we may "fall in love" or deeply love another. However, there are times when the other's behavior is such that it is not healthy for us, and, in order to take care of ourself, we must distance ourself from the unhealthy behavior. Examples include alcoholism or drug abuse and domestic violence.Some secular authors make a distinction between unconditional love and conditional love.
In conditional love: love is 'earned' on the basis of conscious or unconscious conditions being met by the lover, whereas in unconditional love, love is 'given freely' to the loved one 'no matter what'. Conditional love requires some kind of finite exchange whereas unconditional love is seen as infinite and measureless. Unconditional love should not be mistaken with unconditional dedication: unconditional dedication refers to an act of the will irrespective of feelings (e.g a person may consider they have a duty to stay with a person); unconditional love is an act of the feelings irrespective of will. Through the ages, mystics, sages, singers and poets all expressed the ballad and call to love. As humans, we searched endlessly for the experience of love through the outer senses. Great civilizations have come and gone under the guise of love for their people. Religions have flourished and perished while claiming the true path to love. We, the people of this planet, may have missed the simplicity of unconditional love. ...Simply stated, unconditional love is an unlimited way of being. We are without any limit to our thoughts and feelings in life and can create any reality we choose to focus our attention upon. The qualities of love are endless and the expressions are infinite. The power of unconditional love is within each of us."
Unconditional love of self is the concept of loving yourself regardless of external conditions. This includes not denying yourself/your feelings in favor of others. Ultimately in this action a person will have to move away from others who do not love them without condition or teach them to. This idea could be considered imperative to increasing the amount of love one feels. If a person is looking outside him or herself for love they may never find unconditional love or even enough love to be happy. Unconditional love of self is considered the foundation for unconditional love because of this. Once a person is able to love him or herself without condition they will be able to love others without condition. Some gurus/teachers would describe this as an overflow effect as if the person is overflowing with love or agape. Unconditional love of self is most often used in conjunction with Self-acceptance as a way to bring the self to a place of well-being and self understanding.
***For many people this is not very easy to understand, probably because people have used the term to demand more love from a person than possible for that person to give. And when the person in demand was unable to fulfill the expectations of the other they were accused of not loving without condition. This is a false definition that would actually be more synonymous with guilt or guilt-trip. It is difficult/impossible to define unconditional self love or unconditional love when people put expectations on it that can ultimately end up in disappointment .*** ( Wikipedia )
"In Love" twists together three high-tensile strands: a potent that the other fits in a way that no one has before or will again, an irresistible desire for skin-to skin proximity, and a delirious urge to disregard all else.-A.G.T.O.L
"The human heart is an early morning avenue, one half a sunny promenade where lovers walk and children play, the other side draped in velvet shade. Flowers od sadness and tragedy, and occasionally evil grow on its darker side." -A.G.T.O.L
Hmmm. This is not out of depression, but optimism. Nobody can actually say they have never loved. Or felt love for that matter. I could list examples, but the definitions should be enough. You can totally disagree with me, call me a fag, e.t.c. Love is a touchy subject for some people, people who feel as if they will never be in love. There are so many expectations. Most are influenced by people, the media, e.t.c Into thinking what they think love is.Thats as far as it goes. Love is not an idea. Love is not candy, roses on valentines, its not a ring. These are just material possessions to try and show ones love, when really nobody can show how they really feel. The flowers die and the chocolate goes bad anyways. Not even the partner can know how you really feel, because they are NOT YOU. You can use as many words, or gifts to try and show how much you Love a person but Love is different for each person. Songs, movies give us a glimpse of what love can be. The song by Lonestar is played at almost every wedding at Wedge. Its "their song", news flash its everyones song who thinks they know love.
Im trying to come to a truth or some kind of Great Thought that will help me out, but right now even I am having trouble trying to describe true love. I will say for me, Love is simple and complex. I have loved, been loved and think I've been through every instance that involves love, when In truth is I haven't.
I have got a lot more time on this earth (hopefully) and will spend my time not obsessing (Im never going to meet the right person, Ill never be married, e.t.c) about love, but rather playing hide and seek. I will search for love, or it will search for me. Through these experiences I will gain knowledge and when I think I have found love I will chase after it with lessons learned, and know I will know where and how to look for it and catch it or vice versa (it might just pop up and get me). lol
Also, I think women are Gods gift to all of us men, so don't Fuck it up! I am grateful to wake up every day, for my friends, family, women ,and even my socks. You should be to.
You are all awesome people and all I ever want in life is for all of you to be truly happy. I love you guys.
Thanks for sticking with me. Both in life and this post! haha
Now come on everybody,
