02. LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY

 

I loved many women in my life. Some women, I loved have long gone. Did I ever love any of them unconditionally? I asked myself. I cannot be certain. But, for sure, it was not unconditionally. My love was with conditions. Most of time, I said women “I love you. Only you. But, till you are with me. If you are not. Not anymore.”

When the time passed, I became mature. Now, I realize that love binds the whole world together, keeps people connected, strengthens relationships, makes people strong, heals the world, creates a new world free from boundaries. After all, it makes the world a better place.

This world is a better place that we can live in happy, since the great men and women lived here, loved this world unconditionally; a great love in heart for the humanity. Mother Teresa loved this world so much and devoted her lifetime to heal it. Mahatma Gandhi loved his nation unconditionally, fought for the very soul of his own nation and won freedom. Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents of the USA, loved his nation limitlessly and eradicated slavery, healing the nation. He wrote a golden chapter of great men lived, living and will live again here, in this world.

Loving the entire world is not different from the mother’s love for the child in her womb. From the early beginning of our civilization, love healed the world over and over again. Love wrote about golden eras of our history and great men, who unconditionally loved and healed the world. Love made people civilized and moral. It retained us together for more than thousands of years. And, love made us stand for the man next to us.

Love your spouse, kids, parents, friends and all of people, living in the world unconditionally. Love the humanity. You do not need to be next Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Teresa to do so. No matter whatever happens. No matter how others treat you. Love all unconditionally. With unconditional love in heart, you will stand apart from others as a real man, who actually can be called human.
