LOVING FOR LOVES SAKE

Time and time again there seems to be one recurring theme that fills all of our lives.. LOVE. We give it, we get it, we want it, we miss it. But what is the true meaning of this. So often the experience of love is referred to as a give and take, as in, if you want to be given love you must be willing to give it.. most mothers will tell you that they experience a complete and unconditional feeling of love for and from their child before they are even born. General logic would suggest that of course this is true due to the unique nature of the relation between mother and child but what does the newborn child know of this relation. The mother is making a choice to give and receive love but what about the child. Can a newborn child make this choice. Is it not more likely that we as adults have made the choice to make love a choice for choices sake while the newborn child is incapable of choice but instead simply and most innocently is loving for loves sake.
