conditional

The root systems of these lies we tell ourselves tend to grow together. It__ all connected with the belief human love is conditional. But human love isn__ conditional. No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it__ just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.

Each time, we ask, "Who am I?", we answer the question differently. Our identity evolves, as it is the sum of our thoughts, words and deeds. To be ourselves, we have to remember ourselves, which makes our very identity conditional. Each time we remember, we reaffirm our individuality. Our existence as an independent person depends on it, but we don't exist as self-enclosed units of matter. Who we are cannot be remembered or forgotten. Our identity, as we perceive it, only appears in consciousness. Underneath, it exists in a thoughtless, wordless awareness, in which there is no "We" or "I", just an "Amness"...simply an indescribable sense of being.

How did you deal with it? How do you stop loving someone?___he Creator didn__ make love conditional,_ Jona said. __ove is what makes us human. What separates us from the corelings. There is value in it, even when it is not requited.
