Love WITHOUT conditions. Love DESPITE the conditions, my own conditions and the conditions others place before me. Love BEYOND conditions. Love where conditions have been placed. Learn to love WITH the conditions. Learn to love on HIS conditions. Love encompasses ALL conditions. Love has to work to OVERCOME the conditions. Love has to see beyond conditions that divide or separate two people from a relationship of love. Love needs to work THROUGH conditions. Love needs to LIVE with the conditions but not in a passive way, given in to resignation, rather in a simple acceptance of conditions as part of human life, human existence, human misery, original sin. But, these conditions are not a debilitating force on love. They perfect it. They rejuvenate, revitalize and strengthen one’s capacity to love. It is part of the process, the path to redeem love from its weakened condition, of freeing it so to speak from its self-imposed slavery, from its own sin of a fallen love to a love that truly is unconditional.
