Unconditional love, does it exist?

Love does not need meaning, it is complete meaning. There is no need for an explanation or a reason, it exists and is silent deep inside us.

Man's meaning for earthly life is not only to find a purpose and live that purpose, but also to "find" love and be love. After all, no matter how much we want to get away from that topic, we fail, because love is the driving force behind all of us.

So what is love, for you?

I believe that we are all woven of pure love, we pulsate, inhale, exhale and live love with each of our steps and new mornings. In a universal sense, that love exists as the greatest and purest bond between us and the Creator, it is reflected in the given freedom of choice, the gift of life and everyday opportunities. Love exists as some sublime, magical, and intangible state of all of us, something that surrounds us, instills hope in us when we give up, and keeps us alive when it is hardest.

We feel her purposefulness, we feel her power and at the same time her tenderness. It is what we are born with, what is breathed into us so that we can fully experience this experience of life, know ourselves, and acquire many other gifts to grow and surpass the old self.

As such, love does not need meaning, it is complete meaning. There is no need for an explanation or a reason, it exists and is silent deep inside us. It is there as a reminder that we all return to the same Source and that we are woven from it, when we stray and very often fall into hopelessness and trouble.

But when we talk about relationships, how often do we idealize love? We want it to last indefinitely, we want to put it in baskets, limit it to boundaries, not give it freedom of movement and most of all, hold it tightly by itself and dictate its pace. We want to believe that even in a partnership, love as love can and must be completely unconditional, and that its purpose should be just giving.

I would like to say that I believe in it, because I am an eternal optimist. But I cannot say that we as a human race are worthy of the fullness of that kind of love and its splendor. I cannot say that we, as individuals or communities, are up to the task of constant giving without expecting to receive anything in return. Yet in all of us dwells the ego, be it big or small, there is also a sting of questions, doubts and expectations.

She got lost through the simplicity of living, the simplicity of thinking and acting. New age relationships don’t have too much choice or room to grow, because people generally have less and less time for each other, and less and less will to live one such primordially pure love. Because, we all want to feel loved, not only by Him, not only by friends, parents and neighbors. We want a partner who will be one hundred percent with us, remind us every day how wonderful we are and even telepathically respond to all our hidden desires and aspirations.

And now as I write this, I realize how much we actually expect from such a simple and pure emotion. And we are not able to give so much, maybe only in certain brilliant and short moments we lighten each other's cheeks, we are convinced that we can give most sincerely, without thinking about the return of that emotion and energy itself, but only for a moment.

Love should be closely linked to freedom. Encourage both us and our partner to grow and encourage each other together, but also to know how to exist as individuals in that relationship. To appreciate the part of our time and journey in which we will grow separately, consciously and maturely to enjoy together the fruits of all that we are. Basically, love as an emotion is very simple, but we are the ones who complicate it and give it names and ultimatums.

Either it exists at some point, or it doesn’t exist. Either we nurture it, or we consciously reject it. And when we reject it, it does not mean that it will cease to exist in us, we cannot just extinguish it and make it disappear. And if we lose it, it doesn’t mean we won’t find it again in other places and in other people.
