Love Does Not Keep Score
Humans are a strange breed. We’re cheap with our love, we don’t know how to love unconditionally. Yet, we crave it for our selves and rail against not receiving it from those we demand it from but in turn do not bestow upon others. We want what to receive freely what we give with conditions. We place judgements on our judgements thinking we’re above the judgements we place on others.
We squeeze every ounce of love out of tightly fisted hands only sharing shattered remnants with those we deem fit to receive the pittance of “love” we’re willing to bestow on others.
We say we love our spouses and our children, our parents and our friends. But we’re so quick to place judgement and hold back the “love” when “they” don’t live by the standards and “fragile beliefs” we hold them to.
As a species we’re selfish with our perceived love. We shy away from eye contact, giving deep and meaningful hugs. We place our opinions of what we “think” others should abide by over our “love for their pure essence.”
Our love for others should mean more to us than our projections and opinions. Love is not a score card kept in secret compartments of the heart. Love is not given when it’s convenient and when circumstances are convenient.
Love should not be taken for granted based on your status and family hierarchic. It should not be demanded nor abused.
Loving the G.O.D. essence of a person can be easy. Loving the G.O. D. essence of a person does not mean that you have to “like” the individual’s behavior and life choices. It’s their life and they have a right to live it consciously or unconsciously. The choice is theirs. Love is having empathy and compassion without judgement of one’s choices. Love asks nothing in return and places no judgement.
Sometimes Love is stepping away and letting another find their footing. Sometimes Love is choosing peace over opinions.
Sometimes Love is letting go.
Sometimes Love is creating boundaries and borders to keep yourself safe, while removing the opportunity for another to trespass against you. In turn by removing an such an opportunity you show your love for another by removing the chance for any transgression and future pain and suffering by means of self-judgement and discrimination they may experience as a result of their trespass.
Love is always kind…..Love is always kind….Chose L
