What Is Love?

Taking a break from packing my stuff in office. We're finally moving today. That means I have to be here on Sunday to help setup everything in the new office for the other staff.

Being in Middle Management is pretty challenging. You MUST do everything that your boss tells you to. You try to delegate to your staff, but end up trying to answer their clarifications or helping them to do the work because they are just unable. They get paid if stay past office hours, whereas you are expected to stay to produce whatever you were tasked to do. There is no point for Management to stay back with you because they only need the information that you should provide them when you are done with your work. For those who have gotten my namecard, that entire designation that you see under my name is just the extended equivalent of SLAVE. No worries though, I am a happy slave :o)

Okie, back to my original intention of writing down about Love. Description of Love?

True Love is unconditional.

That's all. No BUTS about it. It is not dependent on whether a person loves you back, U still love. It is not dependent on the physical lifespan of something given in love. For example, U will always remember what your parents/grandparents/friends did for you out of love. You will always remember something that is given out of love, even if it has been discarded by now.

My mother loves me regardless of how I treat her. I play her out by not going back home for dinner. For more than three years ever since I came back from UK, I do that. But even this morning, she is still asking if I am going home for dinner. That is true motherly love. Thanks Mum. (By the way, I am not going back for dinner today :op)

I love my "god-daughter". I told you before. How I treat U is not because of how U treat me. I will still be there for U if U need me. Just let me know. (I'm happy to see that U've grown a little.)

Why is love so unconditional? Answer : It has always been like that.

Creation came about because of love. When you love something, it will definitely be good in your eyes. God saw all that he made and it was GOOD! Of course, true to the "WAH LAU EH" syndrome, Man has to fall. All because of one fruit. Alamak! One whole garden of fruits not enough, must be so whiny and eat THAT particular fruit. Well, His ways are not ours. Without the fall of Man, we'll not see the redemption of Christ.

Do you think Christ loves you? YES. Do you think he knows you love him or not? DOES IT MATTER?! You were not even swimming in your mum when He died for you. But He died for you all the same. Why? Becoz His love is unconditional.

So the benchmark on how love should be is set. Where do I measure in comparison?

Blogging does burn energy. I'm going for lunch. (Yes Tingie, any reason to eat is a good reason.)
