"Love is unconditional." 2:30 mantra, 7:30 contemplation.

Love is unconditional.  That might just be loaded.  If I rationalize its unconditionality, then the conclusion is that none loves anyone.  This happens if I make it black and white.  Pure love is unconditional.  That is better.  The love I have with Mary is predicated on a reciprocal relationship.  At least, I think it is.  It's come about because of the reciprocation. If love is not pure in its condition, then there is a power situation if the other person wants your love.  But, what if they don't, then there is no power.  The things they can want are well-being, easing of burden, to grow, to be accepted.  Someone may not care if I offer or give them these things.  That may not care if I am kind or compassionate towards them.  Then, there is no power in my hands.  Love is about the desire of these things for another person.  It isn't the actual acts of providing them.  We may not have the opportunity nor the means.  But, it is the desire for anyone, and we do have the opportunity and means to provide them for some people.  It isn't about indiscriminately acting on the futures for others.  We have to balance what we can do against what we desire to do.  We physically cannot give these virtues to everyone.  That is not possible.  We give them as we can as we encounter them or decide to give more later when we encounter them.  To love is to desire happiness without condition or judgment for others and yourself as you and all are beautiful creations of the universe.
