To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt

yeah, I was surprised too. It's so very true. ah. that first line kind of slaps you in the face and then grabs you by the heart doesn't it? Then again, it could be that I'm just a little emotional or something today... I don't know.
I'm a little emotional every day. I suppose that's what happens when we try to live in love. Everything means so much more than it seems to on the surface.
I think it is possible to love someone unconditionally and still be able to set boundaries. Loving someone and accepting them no matter what doesn't mean you have to allow them to hurt you. I think as long as you actually love yourself loving others isn't as difficult as one might think.
If you love someone "no matter what" then you might as well be loving an inanimate object. A person, a real person, should be loved for who he or she is, not in spite of it.
If you love someone, they have the power to hurt you. If they don't love you in return... they will, intending to or not, hurt you. If you allow this to continue... you are disrespecting yourself.
that is how i love... but i am continually told i am a fool. i just want to follow my heart but i am led astray by everyone else. it has me in great confusion.
The old saying is true: You can only love someone else as much as you love yourself. If you love someone who gives you nothing in return, you're not loving yourself.
>If you love someone who gives you nothing in return, you're not loving yourself.
Unconditional love doesn't mean you give and never get. It just means you give without expecting to get. I believe that's how all gifts especially love should be given. If you do expect something back it isn't really a gift its more of a trade.
