Recently, one of my friend was sharing with me problems he is facing in his love life. Basically the general idea was that he liked this person, however this person had a past of taking drugs and it was something he could not accept.
This brings about one of my long story about scoping love. I always questioned myself, when you love someone, what does it mean? Do you love the person for who he is, or do you love the person because of the package you perceived.
Despite this 2 statements being seemingly similar, however it is important to note that there is a difference. If you love someone for who he is, you are accepting his or her shortcomings. On the other hand, if you love the person based on a package, take for instance ... Body she’s an 8, face make it a 7, character ... hmmm 6. One day if the person were to change, perhaps you would not love him or her anymore.
This brings about another though about “Unconditioned love”. I once thought that unconditioned love was just loving someone and not hoping for anything in return. However the context is being extended after some thought. Unconditioned love could extent to my friend’s incident of accepting the person whom you might have perceived wrongly. When it comes to accepting someone for his or her flaws, Shortcomings and major faults is there a difference?
Examining things into greater detail, it reminds me of Agape love. After going to church lately, I realized that a point commonly brought across was to love your enemies, to forgive and to forget. In terms of romance love, I have lost faith in “unconditioned love”. However in terms of agape love (God’s love), perhaps unconditioned love appears to be seemingly possible.
Well, I still haven’t really figured out this whole love concept thingy but at least there’s progress.
