    "Unconditional Love is Universally Paramount."
    “Unconditional Love is Universally Paramount.”

    From where did all of that stuff about love come?
    The newspaper? Television? All media?
    The movies? A poem? A love story in
    book form? A love story in short story form?
    How your parents taught you about love, or
    were you socialized or conditioned about
    what love is? Your minister? Your priest?
    Your friend? Perhaps the governor of your
    state?

    You get the point. Love comes from a host
    of sources that make us what we are with
    respect to love. Where love gets in the
    way and causes pain, our emotional
    intelligence also becomes involved.

    Emotional intelligence? Yes, emotional
    intelligence. Emotional intelligence
    parallels emotional maturity. Emotional
    maturity is how mature you act or
    react when it comes to love. What
    level of emotional intelligence/maturity
    do you have?

    Do you scream and holler at your loved one(s)
    when you can’t have your way with them?
    Do you stroke your lover’s face with the
    tips of your finger? How is it that you learned
    to make your life all about yourself when it
    comes to wanting to possess the one you
    love?

    Are you capable of letting go? Can you give
    up your workout so that you can watch the
    kids because your husband is going to a
    football game without thinking about yourself?

    Can you take care of the kids when your wife
    is going to a baby shower and your favorite
    game is on television with love, and not
    anger?

    Can you look into your lover’s eyes and see
    beyond the surface, see what is behind her/his
    eyes, what’s going on in there?

    How far will you go with love? What is love,
    to you? Sex? A deep, passionate kiss.
    A tap on the lips?

    A love song? When you tell someone you
    love them, what do you mean? What does
    love mean to you? Think it’s authentic?

    What is authentic love? Well, I’m jabbering
    here. My point is, by going to the trouble
    of learning all you can about love, you will
    develop your concept of love. If you already
    have a concept of love, you probably
    wouldn’t be reading this. Whatever the case
    may be, regardless of how long you have had
    your concept of love, or you are seeking
    your concept of love, you enhance your concept
    of love by learning everything about yourself
    and about love as you can. This approach to
    love develops a concept of love that will
    shelter and protect you if you lose the
    one you love because you will know what
    love is.
