I love because I can. Seems like a simple statement and in the end it is a simple one.
I do my best to love unconditionally. This means being honest with self and removing all of the selfish ego stuff that can easily get in the way of really loving. It also means following my own rules for loving, not being bound by all of the manmade rules we are taught form birth. I love who I want the way I want.
Love is a very natural, healthy, positive emotion. One of the most powerful emotions we humans are capable of feeling, giving, experiencing. We receive it freely so we should be able to give it freely as well.
It has taken me years to get to the point where I can love unconditionally just because I feel it. Love with no expectations or requirements.
Does this mean I love everyone? Of course not. But it does mean I can love a whole lot more people then I did when I was twenty-five.
In order to really love, and to do it unconditionally one has to first love self this way. That is what I think is an obstruction for a lot of people. I am glad I got over that obsticle. I find that I am a much happier person overall loving as I do. I highly recommend it for everyone.
Peace, Love, and Joy
