Why is it so scary to love unconditionally? The answer is clear. People fear that in the end they will be hurt from it. It is so much safer to be hard and uncaring, to close ourselves off from the people and things around us. We are afraid to be hurt physically, emotionally, even spiritually. Fear is a damaging emotion. It causes us to ruin our chances at happiness. It is our defense mechanism, which we hold onto for dear life. Even though it hurts us more than anything else. Loving unconditionally is letting go of fear or going on in spite of fear. It is so rewarding. Instead of being afraid of each others differences, why not embrace them as a persons' unique quality? When you get down to the bottom of things we may have individual views and quirks, but we are all human, with all of our human wants and frailties. Most of us want to love and be loved. To learn and grow from experience. To be true to ourselves and have the freedom to do it. To be recognized as special, important people. Unconditional love and acceptance is the solution. Instead of shying away from the hospice (terminally ill) section in the hospital, why not visit the sick, scared people and try to comfort and reassure them? Our fears limit us. Our fears tell us what we can and cannot do. Humanity is oppressed. Our fears stop us from being loving, happy people. If we all try and put ourselves in other peoples' shoes we would all be more caring. As human beings we all cherish freedom, but we are often slaves to our fears. Being open to the world around us is freeing. Even if we had to be slaves to a certain emotion, wouldn't you rather it be love? Wouldn't you feel that, at least, you aren't hurting anyone by loving them? Can you say the same thing about fear? I doubt it. Contact me at: thetriplegoddess@aol.com
