Unconditionally, we are to love our parents, spouses, and children. However, I've learned that love has conditions when it's convienent for many people. Love is convienent when you run out of money to pay bills and you need to ask favors from people you don't even acknowledge on a day to day basis. Love is convienent when you burn all of your bridges and cannot find a place to rest your head at night. Love is convienent when your spouse cares for you when you're down; despite taking advantage of him/her since before the nuptuals. Love is wonderful to take from someone willing to give you their all when you have no intentions on giving love back. Love isn't denying civil rights. Love is free; no one should be setting a price for whatever dumb ass reason they may have.
Sense the sarcasm? I hope so! Remember that love conquers all. Love is shared through a meaningful kiss. Love is received when you share someone's pain. Love sees no color or origin. Love feels no pain or sickness. Love is a taught through family via God.
So why do we have so much hatred in the world? So much division, separatism, and disrespect taught to our children? Why is there a rise of exposure of what is really going on within the races now that President Obama is in office? Yes, I'm throwing in the race card. We may say publicly race doesn't matter when in reality, race matters in our homes. It matters if a person is accepting of multi-culturalism and teaches to love and respect ALL PEOPLE of ALL BACKGROUNDS. It matters if a person isn't for a united country; willing to see change from someone other than the national norm. At the end of the day, what you need to do is teach your children how to love the same people you don't love because of what you were taught and have no clue on what's really going on.
