Is There A Such Thing...

The other day something got me pondering over the existence..or rather, the possibility of what they go on and on about as unconditional love. And i was pretty much surprised at myself when i finally came to the conclusion that it does not...cannot exist. The rationale was based mostly on two factors , one, that expecting is human nature and much as you fight it, it will, at some level somehow creep in, and even if u began loving unconditionally(or so u thought), there will come a point where you will begin to expect the same, and there goes unconditionality out of the window.

The second factor is much simpler- even unconditionality is a condition.

Now that is all very good. But the funny part is that for years, the idealist in me has prevailed over realist...at least as far as thoughts go. And the idealist has been supressed, bashed up, hammered down, but bottomline is, it has prevailed. Now, however, i feel the realist winning more often, and practicality constantly disrupting the romantic trend of thought. And i don't know whether to be thrilled or... well...not thrilled.

Maybe it's just the heat.
