What is unique about love?
Love gives and is never worried about being paid back. So if you love a person and expects him/her to love you back, then you are not loving that person. But isn't that silly? Too naive a policy to follow in a world as cunning as the one we live in? It is ofcourse very difficult to love even a single human being other than oneself. In some cases even loving oneself is difficult. What with all the drawbacks and imperfections that one has to live with? We tend to love an image of ourselves which we are not. We believe that to be the perfection we ought to achieve and strive for it all life.
Do any one get there? I am sure I did not get there, and inspite of knowing that I should love myself as I am, I keep tending to look for that perfection. I may love others thinking that such love takes me to that perfect world, where in, my image of perfection is attained. But when I do that, I am well and truly ditching myself and not loving me.
But how can I love myself as I am? I am a human being that is mired in the transactions of this world - which is highly calculative and not even by the minutest bit based out of love. The entire world is proliferated with pyramid structures that are governed by information asymmetries. Creating pyramid structures and information asymmetries is so very natural to human beings that they dont feel they are going away from the Truth - God by doing that. The very natural tendency to adhere to the pyramid structure and create information asymmetries belies the sinful nature of our existence.
Every child is born as a child of God. But we educate them to become sons of Devil. We know an idle mind is a Devil's workshop..., and no human mind is so perfect that it never remains idle. No success comes from anyone other than God. So whatever that has been achieved has come from God. He pours out his blessings irrespective of whether people are good or bad, because if he were to reserve his blessings for the perfect ones, none in the world would receive them. So let us accept the wretched existence that we are having and stop justifying ourselves for not believing in God's justice - Unconditional Love.
