Unconditional love

Hummm lets break this down.

Unconditional. meaning what ever the condition it will not affect the present situation.

I think that the word love is over used.

"I love you.... mom"
is different than "I love you....... prada shoes"
is different than "I love my husband"
is different than "I love my ...... lover" ( guy I am having an affair with) ( NO NO this is not me its just an example)

I find that alot of people in the typical love relationships have used the word to describe:
"I love you only because I want something from you"
or
"I love you only because you love ME and make ME feel better and do everything for Me and I dont even have to do anything"
or
"I love you only because you make ME feel good"
- if you look at it closely its a - selfish love. Thus when the ME is not feeling the "love" then love easily turns to "I hate you!" "pay attention to ME dammit!"

What are the traditional marriage vows?...."in sickness and in health ....blah blah blah .... till death do us part... blah blah blah" No one actually thinks of that anymore and actually people omit those things now opting always have their own vows possibly leaving that notion out. In other words - leaving themselves a way out. So when the going gets tuff. Adios. 'Revaderche. Scoot get outa here!

I read a blog that said "true love is dead". Hummm if we look around in todays society that can be true. It is hard to find. Though in my naieve hopefulness and idealism (take it while you can cause I dont have much of that optimism lately :op ) I still think it does exist.... ........in a galaxy far far away! No no , I do believe it exists but I think (and have to remind myself) we have to look to ourselves first to keep it alive first before we can find it in others....
