Giving out love without any expectation of returns seems a humanly impossible task, only non human being can perform such profound deed. Yes, Love is a verb, an action to be performed. That is why there is something eternal, something beyond: Bodhisattva's compassion and love .
Mothers, sometimes do feel themselves possess such moral ethics, yet they do not understand and inspect their own motives of loving their children, whether the motives are self-benefiting or not. On Mothers Day, we do need to be grateful for all mothers, for they do possess the kind of love that is most unconditional and non-self aiming compared with other kind of love, such as romantic love.
Not to beseech too much, we human beings do, however, give out love and care with an underneath wish for some returns, either moment of pride or appreciations from others, or further compensation.
And this is why, whenever we expect, we wish, we fantasize, and then we do not feel so happy after all.
After all, love is an action with an aftermath feeling of hollowness inside, if one does not have enough energy to give. Only if one has transcended oneself with universal oneness, he would not feel so empty at all.
For Lovers, two independent persons need to feel ONE together, truly one entity , in order to be truly in love. They can have different opinions with small things, yet they do need to possess the same universal spiritual view: to love one another is to exist. Otherwise, they are not lovers, but an unbalanced relationship, which can exist only when one becomes budihisattva.
