Unconditional

Love and Death are the two marvels, yea the two terrors, but the one goal of our history.

MacDonald


Unconditional love is not based on any quality of a person. Whatever the fault, it is irrelevant because love is not based on any quality. That is the unconditional part. The love part, however, shows a vulnerability or a sympathetic connection. It means that while this love is given and will not change, it can yet be hurt.

Unconditional love is insane.

Or genius. I can not live much longer not trusting, always fearing, never sure if my friends will change from one moment to the next. I will have to run off and escape somewhere. This love is genius because it does not try to deny any bad quality. Threats simply irrelevant to its existence.

When connecting one's self to another there is a choice on where its base will be. A love based on qualities is target to many destructive agents, and it sets one against another. The other way to love someone is to embody a love which by virtue of its being alone attaches itself to another.

I know Christ is deeply in this, because he is the best example of someone who is so beyond the need of those who he loves to return his affection, yet he makes himself vulnerable to human pain of rejection, insult, crusifixion and blame. I hope soon I will understand how Christ touches our lives here, because I can not last much longer without this mindset. I may die of the fear of love.
