Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

When I was young and had a few pets like a dog and a cat - I noticed that no matter what bad things you did that effected your pets like ignoring them or getting mad at them — they always kept giving me the same amount of loving and comfort. I asked an elderly gentleman in our neighborhood one day why my pets are like that. He explained to me in a very comforting tone of voice - “Young man, it is called Unconditional Love and it is one of the hardest things for humans to do with their fellow man and in relationships.” He went on to explain that if I ever wanted to give my future special girl or wife in my life the most special gift in the world - it would not be money or any material things, it would be “Unconditional Love”. But he warned me that almost everyone that tries usually fails because it means always giving the same amount of support and love to our partner no matter what. And no matter what they do or how hard times get - we are only human and weak so we forget the unconditional love part and just react with emotions and feelings that may be in the form of anger or unhappiness.

We are not talking about someone being abusive to you - emotionally or physically - we are talking about everyday life and all the individual traits, habits, quirks that we all have that manage to upset or irritate others around us. When you have had a bad day and your dog or cat rubs you and kisses you and gives all that affection - you immediately feel more relaxed and the stress level drops. They don’t care what you may have done or said that was not nice that day - they just want you to know that they are there for you and love you no matter what!

Wow! Offering to give Unconditional love to another human being is a very big challenge and even if you fail - the secret is to keep trying and watch to see how your partner reacts and changes when you are together. You don’t have to explain or let them know what you are giving to them from your heart and soul - you just have to keep offering it as a very big portion of the giving part of the “Give & Take” we should be doing in any relationship.

Give it a try even if you test yourself for a week or more and see what happens in your relationship. Instead of any words that may give it away, just try a few extra hugs, caresses, and comforting-supportive words now and then.

Good Luck with the most special gift you can ever offer your soulmate!
