2 Kinds of Love the World Passes as Love – Bo Sanchez

There are two kinds of love that the world passes as love.

One is true. The other is false.

False love says, “I love you so you can love me back.” It’s a co-dependent love. It’s manipulative. It’s insecure and jealous. Because it’s not really love.

True love says, “I love you—period.” I don’t expect anything back. I love you and set you free.

If you notice, this is very close to parental love.

Compared to married love, parental love is even more unselfish.

Parents don’t love their kids so someone can do the laundry for them. (At least, the good parents I know.) Parents love their kids because they want to set them free. Parents love their kids so they can one day watch them walk out of their home and conquer the world.
