This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for February 01, 2009:
There’s something I’ve said quite a few times in the past year that I think is hard to hear, especially hard to believe, when the natural course of human interaction uncovers so many disagreements, annoyances, nagging worries, disappointments… But when I say it, I’m hinting at something more profound than the simple meaning of the few words assembled into either of these phrases. 
just as it should be
When I’ve said it, I didn’t say nothing you could do would ever upset me or hurt me. I didn’t say I’d look the other way at your faults, at deception or dishonesty. And I didn’t say everything you could do would be okay.
Yet that’s what the words could mean. That I love you unconditionally. But what is unconditional love? Is it total acceptance? Is it loving someone even though they hurt you, even though they make you feel miserable when they’re around?
Loving someone without regard for yourself… I don’t think that’s love at all...
