A dog or a cat, a pet, will love you unconditionally. Humans, I just don't think it's possible for them. We think too much. Whether or not anyone would be candid enough to admit it, we have conditions.
How to hold on to love? If it's true love, you shouldn't have to hold on to it. It will remain on it's own accord. If it's not true love, sooner or later something will ruin it because it was weak to begin with.
i disagree on human nature lacking in being capable to love unconditionally, under certain conditions!
It's alright to disagree... even though you agreed, 'under certain conditions'...
i know! i did end up agreeing! lol that;s why i grinned.
