Conditions and standards of expectation have a tendency to overshadow
and even undermine the bond between persons. Unconditional love
is a rare and beautiful thing. Something very valuable. Those who have it and able to give it are truly blessed.
There are so many of us looking out for ourselves living in a game of cutthroat survival just to make ends meet. The radical individualization of persons have diminished the value of trust, family, and community. Independence is really an illusion within the cultivated sense of self and tied to a sense of personal financial sustainability. But even then, no one is truly independent. Collective efforts of maintenance are no longer valued and ties are too easily severed. Friendships are easier made than kept. A system of competition rather than a system of cooperation has bred such attitudes of disposability. Pointing fingers and looking for sources and causes to blame instead of approaching and looking at common problems together.
"Could you be love? And be loved?"
-Bob Marley
