Little Eyes and Unconditional Love




"Love is the most important.
The most necessary human
emotion. Not just romantic
love. Love. The ability of 
human beings to connect."
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

There is much to be learned about love from children.  They want to engage us so they use their imagination to create wonderful stories.  Unexpectedly, they throw little arms around us smothering us in kisses or tight hugs.  The wee ones are also truth tellers as they have yet to learn about lying to please others.  

The kiddos learn from compassionate parents.  They learn  to share toys just as they share food.  The team of partners are scrutinized by the little eyes watching every private and social behavior.  All of this, of course, is to be housed in unconditional love.

Toothless and drooling babes are magnets to strangers.  The unknown person immediately breaks into a warm smile and responds with loving words.  This which is displayed is common human love that all people deserve.  For a moment, imagine, our world if all of our exchanges were offered unconditionally. Let us revive our natural human instincts of love towards one and other.
