If you know what unconditional love is, then you are one of a very people few on this planet who understand it. Most love that you will find here, in this period of time in human evolution, is conditional. It’s transactional. Romantic relationships are largely based on attraction to something that has no intrinsic value, such as physical appearance and material wealth. Many people also equate lust with love.

Love within families — usually from parents toward children — is often conditional because it depends on whether the person makes certain choices. As we grow up learning that love is conditional, it’s hard to re-program this belief when we start to enter into romance as adults.

It’s a jungle out there. Most people have no clue what love is. We hear of it in mainstream media all the time, through movies, songs, and stories. But what I’m seeing here on the ground is that people are terrified of love. They call it the “l” word and will do anything to avoid admitting feelings for another person. It’s seen as a weakness to care deeply for another person.

Love is not present in many romantic relationships you’ll encounter.

We’re constantly searching for what someone else can do for us and what we get in return
