Make sure your love is unconditional. Make sure you love people in all kinds of "weather".Orelse what is the use if we love a person only when he is goodorshe is nice? When I need the people most that's when they leave me. So please, I hope you won't be like that. We always have to consider the other party, your companion's situation and mood. Maybe he's in difficulty right now. That's why his mood is not so sweet.
True love always prevails; True love is we stick together in "thick and thin". Especially when it's thin, and when it's troublesome. Then we should really bridge over the "troubled water". That's what they say in English. But most of us fail the test, to ourselves, not to our partners. He might leave you; he might stay with you, because you're niceornot nice. But you fail yourself. You leave yourself. You leave the noblest being that you really are. So we should check up on this to our family membersorwhomever that is beloved and dear to us. Most of the time, when we are in critical situations, what we do just turn our backs and that is no good.
Of course we have our anger, our frustrations, because our partners are not as loving as usual,orwhomever that is; but heorshe is in a different situation. At that time, sheorhe is in mental suffering. It's just as badas oreven worse than physical suffering. Physical suffering you can take a pilloryou can have an injection and it stopsorat least temporarily stops, and you feel the effect right away;orat least if people are in physical suffering, everyone sympathizes with them.
But when they are in mental anguish, and we pound them more on that, and we turn our backs and become cold and indifferent, that is even crueler, even worse. That person will be swimming alone in suffering. And especially they trust us as the next of kin, the next person, the one that they think they can rely on in times of need; and then at that time, we just turn around, because they didn't treat us nice so we just want to revenge. That's not the time. You can revenge later, when he's in better shape. Just slap him.
Actually, at that time, the person is not his usual self anymore. He was probably under very great pressure that he lost his own control. It's not really that he lost his own control, but for example, when you are in a hurry, your talk is different. Is it right? "Hand me that coat (http://www.dinodirect.com/se-coat/ )! Quick! Quick! Quick!" Things like that. But normally, you would say "Honey, please, can you give me that coat." Is that not so? Orwhen you're in pain -- for example stomach pain, heartacheorwhatever -- you scream loudly; and anyone who comes to talk to you, you don't talk in the usual way anymore, because you're in pain.
So if we -- any so-called loving partnerorfamily member -- do not understand even this very least, very basic concept, then we're finished. Then we are really in a bad situation. It's not that the partner will do anything to us. Whether he does anything to us laterornot, that is no problem. The problem is us. The problem is we degrade ourselves, that we make less of a being of ourselves than we should be, than we are supposed to be,orthat we really are. So do not make less of a being of yourselves.
