Loving someone
unconditionally does NOT mean loving them blindly. You need to really know a
person in order to love them, faults and all. And it’s okay to not always LIKE
them and still LOVE them.
Parents and
offspring have been knocking heads together since Adam and Eve had their sons.
Never, ever withhold love from a child. Never make them feel that you won’t
love them anymore if they struggle in school. It’s alright to let your child
know when you are not happy with his actions, that there are consequences for
breaking the rules, but NEVER, ever make him feel that he has lost your love.
Don’t crush her spirit, destroy his self-confidence, or make her feel alone. A
child should always feel the security of her parent’s love.
There are many ways
to love, family love between parents and children or siblings, love between
friends, love between lovers or spouses, or even love for pets. Love can fill
your heart with warmth and happiness; you care deeply about another living
being. Love is not dependency although you can’t imagine a world without the
one you love in it. Love is not a chore, although it is worth any work you put
into it. Love is not a possession even though you want to claim it for your
own.
When you love a
person for who he or she really is, then you understand his faults and love him
anyway. If you claim to love someone but won’t see who he really is, then you merely
“love” a fantasy you created and loving only what you want to see. Love without
conditions — without limits is a true love, it is deep and real.
Love is a wonder.
