We hear about Unconditional Love frequently. We're told that practicing Unconditional Love will bring us a level of happiness we will never achieve by loving with strings attached.
Unconditional Love has become one of those popular terms that comes out of many mouths but rarely does anyone say what it entails. I have my own understanding of what Unconditional Love is and I have a sense that understanding varies with each individual.
To me, Loving Unconditionally means that I love the person for who they are... not who I would have them be. It means accepting that everyone I encounter is a spark of the Divine doing their best while they're in a vessel of limitation. It means accepting the person even if I cannot accept their actions.
Loving someone unconditionally does not mean that you allow someone to repeatedly harm you. Keeping yourself in a situation like that serves no good.
I wholeheartedly agree that it is vital that we learn to offer all we interact with Unconditional Love. Sometimes, however, it is best that we do so from a safe distance.
