Love Is Conditional

I went home yesterday evening and found myself a designated rescue worker for our friends' family crisis. It so often happens that the good intention of sticking together for better and for worse went so badly wrong between a couple. I suspect the notion of "true love should be unconditional" has a misleading effect on people. It lets people take things for granted. It could put an unlimited demand on the other person, i.e., "you should love me unconditionally..." In reality, I would rather people think love is very much conditional and parties involved should always make an effort to keep and create the best conditions for the love to live on. Usually, the condition that needs to be changed is right within yourself, i.e., your attitude and your expectation. I am not a moralist trying to maintain the matrimonial system. Marriage, like any social institution, sets limits on human despite all the benefits it claims to have on us. One can get a divorce. That's like one can only pick the limits restricting him. One can not get rid of all limits all together. It's part of the human conditions.
