Unconditional Love

What is this thing called unconditional love?No conditions set?Just love?It is difficult.Married couples expect each other to stay committed to the marriage and to be faithful to each other.Parents would surely like their children to be around or at least take care of them when they grow old and grey.It is hard to practise this kind of love nowadays.The rat race makes people want to chase their dreams and all they want is money,money ,money!!They forget their committments to the people to whom they owe these committments.
Take the case of the Indian man who literally 'dumped' his Alzeimher-stricken mother in the public rubbish dump.He was caught and sent to jail.Nearer home,there is story about this lady who managed to inveigle her old parents to sign over their house and land to her.She promised them that they could move in with her in their house and they could live with her.She would take care of all her parents' needs.The parents were fine with the plans.There would be someone to take care of them.But a few weeks after the papers were signed,the daughter kicked the old couple out of the house.And so they were homeless.This case is still ongoing as the couple were picked up by a good Samaritan and sent to a home temporarily.
Some of us practise unconditional love.The conditions are already there...not in black and white but somewhere in the recesses of our hearts.Its whether we remember them or not.
