Unconditional#AtoZChallenge @AprilA2Z
My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Cultivating Happiness. Today, U is for Unconditional.
His opponent drew his leg back and delivered a powerful kick to the ribs.
He howled in torment but still charged at his adversary who was quick.
Another high impact hit bruised and knocked one of his teeth out.
Our eyes met and it gave him a glimmer of hope in this otherwise tragic situation.
A Word to the Wise
When you love or support someone unconditionally, it means without any strings attached. Do good deeds for others because you genuinely want to spread joy. But more often than not, we hold ourselves back. Love and support by looking beyond people’s faults, struggles, and whatever pain and hardships that life may bring. Love and support unconditionally for the happiness and inner peace it brings us all

If love is conditional, is it really love?

If it is condition, it is not love, certainly!

Yes sometimes unconditional support even from the strange eyes boost one’s moral and give a ray of hope!!!

Oh, even a smile, a small acknowledgement has the power to turn around a life!!

Good one. Any thing conditional is a transaction and not love.

Well said! Love, by its very definition, is unconditional.

I couldn’t agree more with Parul. Absolutely!
May 2, 2016 9:28 pm|
True that!

True, eh? Support is one of the more precious things we can give… and still sometimes we hesitate to give it.
Thanks for sharing 🙂

You are spot on! Helping supporting people is something that we can do so easily, freely… but sadly it does not come easily to us!

The story is really good. And the quote that you’ve added to this post, really supplements it 🙂

True! We have so many barriers that prevent us from helping others in need, and this is despite we know how powerful a small gesture of support can be!

It’s amazing what a little unconditional love and support can do! Beautiful!

Oh yes, and it not only changes the receiver but the giver too!

Beautiful thoughts! Unconditional love that makes no demands, no favors nor brags about it….its just there!

Power that unconditional love holds!
Very few are the lucky ones to experience it and receive it back 🙂
Cheers

Love this. We do often hold ourselves back, don’t we.
May 2, 2016 9:56 pm|
Sadly, yes!!

Unconditional love is something beautiful 🙂

Yes, it is the greatest gift life can ever give you!

It’s amazing how someone’s mere support – just moral even if it may be – can work wonders! We underestimate the power of a supportive presence in our lives!

I love this quote from Leo Buscaglia, which says what you mentioned, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” It is soooo true!

Those eyes have called for truce….wondeful again…..agree with your wise words, shilpa unconditional love is true love and i practice with near and dear ones…..but sometimes in a few relationships i find it difficult to practice especially where i am taken for granted.

How beautiful is that, Asha! Your loved ones are truly blessed! I know, some people make it difficult to bring out the goodness in us 😀
