Love Is............

Love is suppose to be unconditional right? Yet how many of us are capable of that depth of love? We all seem to have conditions that come with our affections, and in my view this is not the way it should be. If we love someone that does not mean that we own them, we can not choose their friends, their type of work, their hobbies, interests or anything else that makes them who they are. Yet these things are done, not just by spouses, but by friends, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles...... It appears many of us have a regulation book that will outline how our beloved family and friends can behave, and if you look deep enough you can see that the rules that are set in place in the affection game can be traced back to the insecurities of the perpetrator. All of us are individuals, we all have free will to become the person we wish to be, whether anyone else likes or agrees with our choice of lifestyle is irrelevant, it is up to us. We are attracted to people that radiated two types of qualities; 1 Those that are following the same type of path, have the same interests. 2 Those that reflect lessons we are required to transcend. Both sets of people are vital for our growth, and if this is stopped in anyway then we become bitter and stagnated as a result. If you love someone it does not mean that you always have to agree with what it is they wish to do, how they may want to live their life, or who they choose as friends. Loving them should mean that you wish them to be happy, assist them as they walk along their path to personal fulfillment, supporting and loving in a therapeutic way, not a controlling one. Not all of us are on the path to personal illumination wishing to transform not only our minds, but also our perception of what is real, but what is more real than unconditional love? Nothing.........
