No strings attached ...

Its a very liberating feeling.....

When you are able to love, with no strings attached.

Its really not as easy as that may sound - you possibly know - and I have learnt recently. 

Love, attachment, affection - all sublime feelings, but cause humans to expect ....nothing wrong with that too. Its natural. I expect those close to me to love me back, show me that I am important to them as they are to me, that I matter ......but I have also realized 2 things:

  • You can't always expect - you shouldn't ...even the most prudent investment may not give you dividends and love should never be an investment in the first place. 
  • You can't always measure what you will get in return - it may not match up to your expectations, but may be the most the other person is either capable or willing to give to you.....
So, when you are able to bring yourself to love, unconditionally....with no strings attached.... you move to a higher plane. It's a very powerful feeling...you continue to love but that love no longer enslaves you. You are capable of giving - much more than you expect to receive, if at all. 

And possibly only then, you truly love..... 

I pray to the Lord that in a world increasingly measured by balance sheets, He teaches us to love unconditionally, to give with an open heart - atleast to those who matter to us. 



And if you are still worried about your share of happiness, always remember that unconditional love is indeed very hard to compete with! 


Love...Live....Laugh
