I know why 50% of marriages in the United States do not succeed. Love is hard work. Our loved ones are mirrors, and it is much easier to get angry at and run away from a mirror than it is to see ourselves, change, and accept each other. I read a book recently that said, "Unconditional love is not warm, soft, and fuzzy. It is fierce."
I believe that true love, whether it's a friendship or a deeper relationship, is fierce. It takes so much to actually love: time, energy, pain, support, humor, dissapointment, excitement, and commitment. In response to our class' topic... I believe that having to ability to love someone unconditionally is the ultimate art of living successfully.
