Thoughts of unconditional love

Some of my views from the comment-chain posted below:

Yes, unconditional love is an ideal as has been stated. Actual life has both positive and negative feelings, yes yes, and they are all equally valuable. For me, the choosing of love is more a question of "do I want to choose fear or love as my way of seeing the world?". I believe most people choose the former option, since the environment surrounding us makes us easily believe this world is a place, where everyone are out there only for themselves. I want to believe in something more.. gracious.

By following the path of love is not to avoid negative feelings but to embrace them with acceptance.

They are all interconnected: unconditional love - acceptance - being present. Too detailed and formal definitions of things are best left unsaid, because you, your views and the world have a tendency to change. So do the definitions - they evolve all the time.

The following song is about change. It is a beautful, bittersweet and somehow ubiquitously so true with many people, including myself..



First we are explicably where we are
Chaste and burned - we're comfortably loveless
In a trillion years, the stars will no longer shine
We'll remain.
Get it right or come back again
My love...

Make it clear - integrate this love and fear
Still hopelessly hopeful
Wounded child seeking wonderful
As closed as I am
Born a craftsman of shifting sands
What lies I learned
Lessened my 'bility to be present

My love will never change
Though we've ruined everything
The stars still conspire for us
Until our final breaths

We need more love in the world
We need more hope in the world
Build more joy in the world
We crave more love...

My love will never change
Though we've ruined everything
The stars still conspire for us
Until our final breaths
[x2]

The only constant is change

My love will never change
Though we've ruined everything
The stars...

The only constant is change
