I used to think mothers, fathers, or siblings are the only people that can share with unconditional love

I used to think mothers, fathers, or siblings are the only people that can share with unconditional love. But now I believe you can give it to anyone you want to, because it doesn’t limit to whom you can share it with. That’s one thing I think is great about about love. I have love for a sister-like friend without conditional love. We grew up together since elementary. We went to separate schools but we manage to keep in touch through email and instant messages. Yeah we do have our ups and downs moment in the past but that didn’t stop the love we shared. So therefore I am going to love her no matter what she does. I was taught to love my family without any conditioning love; not just to my immediate family but also grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws. But not other families are fortunate to share this wonderful kind of pure love. You hear about parents abusing children every day. That is not the kind of love that anyone should give to their kids. You also hear a lot about siblings rivalries to the extreme. Other families could be taught that you should love your immediate family and care less about the rest. I am fortunate and blessed I didn’t have to go through that. But you know what; most Christians think “Only God can give unconditional love”. I would agree so but according to John 15:12 it speaks for something else.

Notice I didn’t mention unconditional love for boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, or wives. That’s because I wouldn’t recommend any couples to do so because that’s like giving a green card saying “Honey, you can go head and cheat on me as many times as you want to and I am still going to love you the same way”. Don’t get me wrong it’s sometime possible to give it to anyone who’s in love. Sometime it’s heart breaking to see what people actually go through with unbreakable love. It’s too painful for me to go through all the pains and suffering to especially love someone who is not fully committed in the relationship. I want some to trust and show the love that I would like to feel. So for whomever I fall in love with, we will have to have some certain conditions to go through in order to make relationship last.

Should we force our child to be deaf or have cochlear implants?

In this link you will see a video about a deaf guy tell you a story. Make sure you have the subtitle on to understand his story. For those who don't know about cochlear implants:

Cochlear implants is a small electronic device that help a person sense a sound. This is for a person who is either profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. It could be harmful to a person who isn't profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing.The implant consists of an external portion that sits behind the ear and a second portion that is surgically placed under the skin. Here's a picture.

Conditional love and Unconditional love

Conditional love is a sole love that shares a changing or limited love from one to another. Conditional love can show feeling that is possible to change one moment to the next moment. It is not necessary a steady love where emotions of love stay the same. It may have reason to love more or less. It can change from a certain events or even doubtful reasons to lead with more or lesser love than before. Sometime there is not a given reason to love more or less. As I mentioned earlier, conditional love is also a limited type of love. At any given period of time or moment, one can stop their love with or no reason at all. This kind of love can remain the same but could not last forever. Limited conditional love does not always crease to love, but can also choose their preferences toward another one. For example, one can have a strong desire or need for look, race, belief, or even culture. This love excluded all the possibilities for another looks, races, beliefs, or cultures that is different from one’s preferences. One can also feel jealously or hate within this conditional love.

One good thing about conditional love, it can change into unconditional love. However, unconditional love cannot change into conditional love. You can grow love more and more conditionally but not with unconditional love. You can have more and more reasons to love with unconditional love but the love is still the same. Most people called this unconditional love the truest and most pure kind of love because it never change and it last forever. This love does not judge one’s look, race, belief, or culture. Instead, this love looked beyond that. Unconditional love is the kind of love that does not need to be work on or build up more on love. It has no ups or downs on love, regardless of whatever happen between any periods of time.

[As being as strong as death itself..it cannot be killed by time or disaster; it cannot be bought ... not even by the richest king! It must be accepted as a gift from God and then shared within the guidelines that God provides: striving to make your love a reflection of the perfect love that comes from God himself. There are so many types of love but the truest, purest,unconditional, most faithful love is that love of God and that is "agape love".-- Diane Norvell ]
