If you want to learn how to tolerate people, simply tap into the unending stream of forgiveness and pardon you give your teeth every time it bites your tongue and into the undaunted resilience of not refusing to use when next you are eating. ~ voiceofadream.
Unconditional love allows you to love yourself first, so that you have the strength of heart and mind to give the same to another person. Until you have come to a place where you can say "I love you" to someone and it doesn't hurt when they don't say it back to you as though it where a question needing a reply, then you have not loved unconditionally.
The biggest problem we have about unconditional love and humanity comes from what the society and community of people that have been hurt and heartbroken in the past teach about love. We tend to be ruled by the opinion of the vast majority of people who failed in their responsibility to love - and love well. I believe if we paid more attention to people that have the mastery in the fine art of loving and loving so well, we will be conditioned to understand the true nature and meaning of unconditional love.
Unconditional love is what the word of God calls perfect love. We fear many things but perfect love cast out all the fears there is. People have heartbreaks because they cannot love unconditionally! And to love unconditionally you must love indifferently. Ya! I know what that sounds like.
It is not unconditional love when other people like us for doing what they want or because we give them what they demand of us. Under those conditions we’re just “paying” for love in a way (or literally in some cases) with what we do to get that attention.
Unconditional love is much more than forgiving people every time they make a silly mistake, or when they fail to do what we people want, and even when they get in our way and we don’t feel disappointed or irritated with them. When they make a seemingly poor choice about their lives, take a wrong turn, undo or sabotage our own happiness...and we still feel free and indifferent about our love for them.
Unconditional love - [perfect love] is the only love that has the power to heal all wounds, bind people together, and create relationships quite beyond our present capacity to imagine and grasp. For it takes away our fears and insecurities, our worries and felling of vulnerability, our hurting-intense jealousy and clingy need for feeling loved. It is the only kind of love that hold the power to free us to love freely.
