Communication
Communication is a very important key in relationships. Think about it, even if a person does not have the ability to verbally speak, there is Sign Language to aide in communication!! Sign Language was created before texting & any other tech stuff was created to help speak for those who can not.
The song written by Paul Simon, "The Sound of Silence", has a verse in it that real drives home what is happening with communication today,
".....Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share....". People want to be heard but are not listening to each other. People are so bent on being heard & being right, people are stop listening to what the other person is saying. When the ears & hearts of the people close, communication dies.
Without communication there is no forward motion in relationships or the world! To be in communication with each other does not mean you have to agree with everything the other person is saying, thinking or feeling. Just hear them out. They might surprise ya with something. Who knows what they are saying just might help out with what you are saying.
I pray for better communication in your relationships & through out the world.

Unconditional Love
Unconditional love, what is it? Do you give unconditional love? Does your love have strings attached to it?
How do you know you have unconditional love? The love you have, do you have to do anything for it? Does anyone have to do anything for you for your love?
What is the meaning of unconditional love?
If you have to do anything to receive love or if anyone has to do anything to receive love from you, that's not unconditional love. Unconditional love just flows from you & excepts nothing in return. It's a pure love.
Pure love that flows from you to all people no matter the color, gender, age, behavior (doesn't mean you agree with the behavior, just that you still love the person), or anything else that makes up people.
Unconditional love does not stop because we can not see eye to eye on the same subject matter. It's ok to disagree & still get along, "The root of unconditional love is understanding and forgiveness", (https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-unconditional-love). Another example is found in the Bible, Jesus. Jesus gave unconditional love to every person in every town.
I pray that you have unconditional love & it flows through you freely!

How do you know you have unconditional love? The love you have, do you have to do anything for it? Does anyone have to do anything for you for your love?
Unconditional love is known as affection without any limitations, or love without conditions. This term is sometimes associated with other terms such as true altruism or complete love.
If you have to do anything to receive love or if anyone has to do anything to receive love from you, that's not unconditional love. Unconditional love just flows from you & excepts nothing in return. It's a pure love.
Pure love that flows from you to all people no matter the color, gender, age, behavior (doesn't mean you agree with the behavior, just that you still love the person), or anything else that makes up people.

Mental Illness
Mental Illness has many types and combinations that make for some interesting folks. Not to sound like I am making fun of or disrespecting anyone who is dealing with or has dealt with these issues. My heart goes out to all who have faced it, lived it, lived with it or is dealing with it.
There are five major categories of mental illness. Within the major categories there can be subcategories. Then there can be combinations of any number of major and subcategories. When dealing with the combinations of mental illness it can be more difficult and can take longer to form a proper diagnosis. Some folks can live a lifetime struggling with mental illness & may not seek or receive help. That can destroy family relationships, jobs or any type of relationship.
Mental Illness can be caused by trauma, abuse, virus, or the brain does not develop properly in the womb. The cause and type of mental illness can help determine the course of treatment. It's not an "easy fix". Some might say there is no "fix" or "cure". I agree to a point. There are so many things the medical teams do know & don't know about the brain, it's functions and it's inner workings. However they are progressing.
Mental Illness is a very complex thing. There is no easy way about it. For families that have a mentally ill loved one, life is a challenge.
This post is just a scratch on the surface of the topic of mental illness. It is by no means an in depth answer for mental illness. This might just generate more questions. Mental illness can bring feelings of isolation both for afflicted and their loved ones. I am just trying to shine some light in an area that many people may feel uncomfortable talking about. I hope more light will bring more knowledge. Knowledge is power. I encourage you to start these conversations with your loved ones and medical team
Mental Illness can leave people feeling very powerless & hopeless. I pray this will help start to fight the powerless & hopeless feelings you may have.
