There are a whole lot of people who use a whole lot of words which they really don't mean. Now bearing this in mind, there are many who profess to love another -- a spouse, a parent, a relative, a child or friend who are in effect really just kidding both themselves and the people they profess to love. In other words, they'll love the person when everything is going okay, according to plan, however, as soon as something goes wrong, their so-called love seems to conveniently disappear as they actually leave the ones whom they supposedly loved so very much.
Yes my friend, we use this word love today in a rather flippant manner all too frequently not meaning what we say at all. You see, when you love -- really love someone and are not just trying to kid yourself and the other person involved that you love them, your love will be unconditional. So, what does that really mean D. Paul... unconditional?
Well it means you love the person no matter what they do, we never, ever put conditions on true love. The best example to illustrate this, is a parent's love for their child. A parent doesn't just love the child when they're behaving well and all is proceeding as planned -- oh no, a loving parent loves their child no matter what trouble they may get into. The love, which is unconditional love endures, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
I guess the easiest way in which to explain real, unconditional love which most people around the world can relate to, is the Creator's love for all humanity, all of His children, which thank God, pardon the pun, is indeed unconditional.
Of course, as I have stated many times before, in order to love another, we must first and foremost love ourselves. That's right, before I can start to love and respect you, I must first love and respect myself, and this love for ourself must also be unconditional so that we do not lose this love for self thus descending into a state of low self-esteem just because of some failure in our life, as our love and respect for ourself is deeply imbedded in our consciousness, it is unconditional even when we mess up real bad, it remains intact. Yes my friend, please remember today's most important message so that your love is always unconditional. If it's not, well then, it's really not true love.
