I think that love is only evident when things are going really bad. When everything is perfect, you don't see evidence of love. I think that love can be roughly defined as doing something you strongly do not want to for someone else.
I see nowadays people take love more as conditional love and reciprocal love. Can these be taken as true love? You treat me well, then I sayang you. Or the expectation of getting something after performing a good deed.
I take my own mom as an example. My dad didn't beat or abuse her. But he certainly ignores her to every extent. He has affairs outside and maybe even a 2nd family. He even divorced her, but still they stay in the same house. And yet my mom will be there to take care of him, to love him and to provide for him. Some say she is stupid. He treats her like a maid and yet she still stays with him. She can have a better life on her own. But i know she still loves him. Is this conditional love? Is this dependant on everything being good? I know she suffered alot of pain and hurt, but she continues in this. For what good? For no good, it seems.
This kind of love is closest you can get to true love. Most people nowadays have no such concept. They just leave when everything or even anything is not going their way.
Can your relationship handle extra marital affairs? Can it handle with the other party being disabled or heavily disfigured? What do you think?
I think its unconditional in this aspect.....sad but i really got no words for that
