At core love is selfishness (whether it's romantic or other worldly love)
At core love is selfishness (whether it's romantic or other worldly love).
People claim that their love is special, their love is unconditional!
Lovers (in romance) claim many things, like 'I can do anything for you', "I will sacrifice anything for your happiness, i can do this for you.. That's for you " i will do this.. that " What not.
But mostly it fizzle out later, sometime after marriage! Nevertheless! In all honesty if someone does all that claim, in real sense s/he, still fulfilling their own desire, their deeply cherished desires, fulfilling their deep impulsive desires to make themselves satisfied /happy.So whatever they sacrifice is less valuable to them, as compare to their own love/passion for gratifying themselves, justifying their own need & pride. ... In short they're acting as per their own impulsive priority !
Leave aside romantic love, Even parents child love is not unconditional. Parents expect many things from child, not only good for child that they think, but also they expect respect, service & sacrifice for them.
People even pray to God with condition like worldly good health & wealth or for the sake of paradise /heaven.
In my deep understanding of love, there would be only one love can be unconditional, but people are so busy in mundane & other worldly things, most of them die without feeling this unconnected, freeing & unconditional love.
