Love without Expectations

​Unconditional love is a concept that some people find difficult to accept, and I happen to be one of those people. It’s not that I don’t understand the concept; it’s just that I’m not sure such a thing is possible. I base that on the fact of how difficult I’ve found it to be for me to love without conditions, and without expecting something in return. I believe in a “cause and effect” reality and my reasoning is that if I give love, I will receive love, and, being less than perfect, there are times when I give love because I need love, and I’m hoping to receive in equal measure. Even though I find it difficult to accept that human love can be unconditional, I choose to believe that there is such a thing, and I still aspire to love without conditions.
