True love is about allowing. It is not about controlling someone or trying to change someone. True unconditional love simply allows.
There are many different philosophical views about many different topics. Different is the key word here. They are just different. Different does not mean wrong. It just means different. Many wars are fought over our different philosophical views.
I think we can look at the state of our country currently and see what happens when one tries to force their views on another. It ends up in war. It ends up in hate. It ends up in ugly rhetoric instead of love. Love truly does conquer all if we just give it a chance. Instead we are too preoccupied with trying to get our point across and prove we are right and they are wrong.
More specifically in relationships, there can be differing viewpoints on what a relationship looks like. Differing does not have to mean division. It can mean discussion. Meaningful discussion that loves and allows. Loving and allowing also does not necessarily mean agreeing. It is perfectly fine to have different viewpoints. It is not fine to disrespect someone for their different views.
Stop trying to make your companion be what you want them to be. Stop trying to change your companion’s views to line up with yours. That’s control, not love. Simply allow them to be who they are. Allow them to believe what they believe. That’s true love.
We all come from different backgrounds that influence our philosophical views and behavior. Instead of arguing over the differences, have meaningful respectful discussions to understand one’s background and views. That’s true unconditional love.
Fully accepting someone is also accepting who they are. You do not have to agree with them and you may not even understand them, but you must continue to love them. No room for hate.
Life is too short for hate. Life is too short for arguing. If today was your last day to be alive, would you spend it arguing with your companion over your different beliefs and views or would you spend it just having fun with them. Simply loving them. For that matter, would you spend it arguing with anyone.
Let’s take more time to listen to each other. Let’s take more time to simply love and allow. Let’s be respectful of others views without judging, shaming, or condemning them.
What a better place this world would be if we spent more time loving instead of judging. What a beautiful place it would be if we spent more time allowing others the right to their own beliefs and views without judging them. That’s love.
How beautiful a relationship could be if the two involved simply loved and allowed with zero judgement. Love and allow with zero expectations. Love and allow without projecting your own worry, stress, fear, and anxiety on your companion.
How beautiful a relationship could be if you focused more on self-improvement as opposed to constantly doing a performance evaluation of your companion’s life. Allow them to simply be.
Until next time, simply love all those in your life and allow them to be exactly who they are. No approval needed from anyone.
Much love,
Vince

Hi Vince. Great piece! It reminded me of a poem I wrote. Hope you enjoy.
VIBRATE TOGETHER ©
you appear to move left
whenever I move right
a constant viral spin
no hope in our sights
you push my buttons
I manage to push back
each other we must make it not
for it is the problem we must attack
your aura so hazy
its color so unclear
we must vibrate together
if we are to conquer this fear
as you gaze into my eyes
remember the vows we took
our souls bound tightly
like pages of the Book
although this no fairy tale
no spells or wand to ignite
the magic lies in communication
if we are to ever make it right
we both want the same things
to be protected from the rain
let it not matter who holds the umbrella
as long as we share in the pain
I know sometimes in the mix
you like to shake and me stir
but if we pour without a spill
maybe we both can be heard
for when all is said and done
and our time has truly come
all we must carry are the memories
of that which made us… one
-Sphen
