Unconditional love? Wow, that could make me feel so alone. It seems that with this world everything is conditional. This is a really interesting conversation. I watched it all. I have been such a giver all my life, now I am 67 and can really relate to what you are all saying. I left my legalistic beliefs behind and everyone with them. I met Jesus at the gate, and he let me in. This world is so caught up in the substance of getting more whatever it be, instead of the spiritual. I still have habits like smoking, and I am not pretending to be perfect, but people will hide their true self and act out what they want to be seen as and because they are caught up in playing their acting part, they don't want to be seen for who they really are so they ignore my existence until they want something, then when they are done with me it goes crickets again. Actually, I am getting used to being alone, it was painful for a long, long time but now that I have gotten through that dark valley, I am walking on a better path believing in salvation in and through Christ alone. I would rather be here by far than pretend, and it is kind of unbelievable. It is all about the gospel of Jesus, and love, nothing else, I am me.
@@glenmorse9533 absolutely Mr. Morse. In the beginning. Practicing unconditional love can definitely make you feel lonely. But once you work through the old mental habits and begin new ones, you learn the difference between lonely and alone. You are never truly alone. You can be isolated. But still with the memories of others. You can be in the midst of strangers and feel at home or disconnected. Unconditional love teaches one to exert what is known as "grace" and "mercy". These two concepts work hand in hand towards being kind to your self. Forgiving your self. Allowing you to heal. In the process. You practice it with others and see things differently as you remove expectations. You begin to see people for who they truly are. From there you set boundaries. Unconditional love doesn't mean walking doormat. You gotta love yourself too. Unconditionally. Regardless of your decisions. Walking away from someone that uses and abuses you is Prioritizing the energy and love you have for people that actually reciprocate and mean you well. I am grateful that you enjoyed the topic and can relate to it in such a level. I'm proud of you and your growth and self actualization. Continue the journey with you head up. Enjoy the view. Much love. And peace to you!!
