The Love Illusion(revised)

This is a revision of the previous 'The Love Illusion' post because the last post was a little hard to understand.

Firstly, for the sake of simplicity, I will divide love into 2 kinds, selfish or love and selfless or love. In both terms, the word self is evident. In selfish love, it is love, but however it is love driven ultimately by the own self interests. I will attempt to use an expression that prevails in everyone of us to explain the difference between selfish love and selfless love: Our Preference.

If we hold our preference in whom or what we love, then it implies that we love one more than others. Putting the 'self' in love. This love is loved based on condition, and the condition is that of what the self wants the condition to be: on the condition that the person is beautiful, on the condition that love be reciprocated? Only you can name these conditions. This is conditional love.

Selfless love is love with no preference. Loving everyone equally regardless of their looks or their actions and how they will affect you is true selfless love. Selfless love is unconditonal love.

Instead of reaching out for the love that you can never grasp; the love that is portrayed to you by other people to be pure and selfless, we should not be hypocrites and accept the fact that love is based on self-interest, as does every single decision we make. We should work to turn our unconscious selfishness into our living consciousness.
