Unconditional Love

From the Old Testament, the story Parable of teh Prodigal Son, they imply the concept of unconditional love.
Now, unconditional love is something we have all heard of. However, it is a matter of how far should it go? Should there be boundries? Limits? How much love are the parents or guardians going to tolerate before they say enough is enough? Love is one of the strongest four letter words in the universe. It is also something we all possess, receive, and give. In this story from the Old Testament, we learn that the father has unconditional love for his sons no matter what they do. It is supposed to teach a lesson of having unconditional love for your family members. Personally, I think that with unconditional love comes limits. Now, what I mean is, it doesn't mean you will not love them, it simply means that they ahould not be taking advantage of your love. If they begin to do so, there should be punishments. Punishments that are sure to teach them a lesson. However, if the do not learn a lesson and continue to take advatage of you time and time again, it may reach the point where you become so fed up with everything that they don't want the other person in their lives anymore. This story teachus that, no matter how much someone may screw up, we still have unconditional love for them. A valued lesson in today's society.

    Think about the difference between conversational English and written English when you write. Remind me to show you as we edit one of your entries together in the lab.
