What is Love? The eternal question we all carry around deep within our heart. Love is the eternal search. Love is eternal when we find it. But do we really ever find it ? When we define it do we negate it? When we set limits on what we believe to be love do we begin to destroy it by hoping to understand or own it for ourselves? We offer it through all of our relationship we vary our giving, often by what we hope to receive in return. But is this really love?

　　I recently overheard someone say in a conversation that there is no such thing as “ unconditional love .” I would have to agree, although for different reasons. Love within itself is unconditional. Anything else is only an attempt to love, a learning to get us nearer to the one true knowing of love. It may be honorable, well-intentioned, passionate and desiring, courageous and pure. It may be felt as temporary, but if lost easily it may not have been love at all. Love cannot be thwarted and often fall short of what we hope love will be. This is where we learn we are human.

　　最近，我無(wú)意間聽(tīng)別人說(shuō)，世上沒(méi)有所謂的“無(wú)條件的愛(ài)”。在此，我不得不表示同意這一論斷，盡管理由不盡相同，但愛(ài)本身確是無(wú)條件的。其他一切都僅僅是愛(ài)的一種嘗試，通過(guò)它們?nèi)ブ饾u地理解愛(ài)的真諦。愛(ài)可能是高貴善意的，是充滿熱情和渴望的，是勇敢和純潔的；愛(ài)是勢(shì)不可擋的，而且，常常達(dá)不到我們的期望值。由此我們可以透察人性。
