What might look black and white on the surface to you is probably quite different from the way the other person looks at the same set of facts or circumstances. After all, how we view a situation is always colored by our prior experiences, our upbringing, values and other factors.

Don’t try to impose your view on others. Don’t make your help or caring conditional.

True unconditional love should come from the act of giving it to the other person, not from what you receive in return. It will have no strings attached and continue on even if the relationship ends.
