in love. If we truly understand and project what true unconditional love is, then we can begin to see that mistakes made in relationship do not reflect on love towards the other person, but reflect on the weakness of the offender. You are a human being subject to faults, failings, and mistakes and yet we as humans deserve to be accepted and loved not because we are perfect, but because we are who we are. Weakness and human frailties make it hard for us to see beyond them, and create a condition in the relationship making it hard to live up to the standards placed on any particular relationship or situation.
Now if both parties have equal unconditional love then one would expect their life to either be blissful for many long years or the opposite could likewise be found and it could result in a torturous relationship for many long years, all depending how deep the love is and what price your willing to pay to receive love and except human behavior and mistakes.
Hopefully through it all, we as humans can come to the understanding that love begins with yourself and being able to see we all make mistakes, we all have weaknesses and none of us are without imperfections, therefore no one should expect perfection from one another. Only hope and forgiveness prevail along with endurance, that which we put forward we receive back.
Leo Buscaglia
