What is LOVE? Love is unconditional. A mothers love for her children is the ultimate type of unconditional love. You MUST love yourself unconditionally FIRST for what you are before it is possible for you to love others. This can be very difficult for some people. If you can't accept yourself "as is" you will be unhappy and it will not be possible for you to really love others. Many people THINK that they may be "in love" many times, when it is not TRUE love. True love is forever and unconditional. True love allows a person to overlook the shortcomings of their loved one. Love is not static, it will continue to grow and change over time. For additonal reading, you may want to look at some of these books

I do not have friends A true friend will be your friend through the good times and the bad times. A true friend will overlook your shortcomings. All of us have shortcomings and things that we need to improve. True friends do not have to be bought. True friends will not point your shortcomings out to you. Choose your close friends carefully and do not worry that others seem to have more friends than you do. Quality is much more important than quantity. Here are some books about friends and friendship.


How can I tell if a person is my friend? Your true friends will be with you when you need them. The true friends do not have to be bought. You do not have to keep a scorecard on a true friend to keep track of who owes who a favor. You do not have to do favors all of the time to maintain that person as a true friend.

Can I "buy" friends? Sure you can "buy" friends. As long as you have money and keep spending it on these people, they will be your friends. As soon as you run out of money, these "friends" will slowly drift away from you. A true friend will be your friend without you having to "buy" them.

Many people can be very materialistic, and it is necessary to keep "buying" their friendship. If you are materialistic, it can be very easy for you to believe that you have to spend money on others to have them as your friends. You do not have to ever "buy" your true friends. Ones who "buy" friends will end up with fewer friends, broke, and nothing to show for it. You may have been better off saving that money and spending it on something more useful, like a car. Most people do not want to have to continue "buying" their friendship. True friendships are priceless and unconditional, just like love.


Why don't you like my friends? I may not like your friends because I see how they affect you. You go out with many of your friends, but I have noticed when you get home that you may express a very negative attitude after being with some of your friends. This is because these friends have "negative attitudes" themselves and it affects you when you are with them.

Most of your friends are very positive thinking and after being with them, you come home with a positive attitude yourself. Many times you can not see this yourself but it is as clear to me as the difference between night and day. You need to stay away from "negative" people because they turn you into a "negative" person. Life is already full of many negative things without having to deal with negative people. Most mature people do not want to be around negative people and rather be with people that are positive thinking.
