Many years ago, I was taught the 'psychology of strokes'
A stroke is defined as an act, physical, emotional, or mental,
that implies the recognition of another
I learned that we can all receive and give:
positive strokes
negative strokes
neutral strokes
physical strokes
mental strokes etc
conditional strokes
unconditional strokes
... but the most powerful strokes of all, are the 'unconditional
positive strokes'. They are normally unexpected.
Unconditional Love is the greatest unconditional positive
stroke of all, with no thought at all of receiving anything
back in return, whereas conditional strokes are expecting
something back in return.
Think about it!
We live in a conditional materialistic world for much of the time,
how nice it is when we rise to the unconditional 'non-material'
world of Love
