“Doctors and nurses offer unconditional care, they treat whomever it is their job to heal. In order to be ethical they must be impartial. But to be in love is to be partial. It is to be specific. All romantic love is conditional, in that the condition is the persons essential nature. Their themness. If your love for a person isn’t predicated on the condition that they are them, right now as they are, and is instead predicated on their need for that love, or on your thinking that you could do a good job of making that person happier or better, then you are a nurse. You are a robot hero. And maybe you can save the day but you are not a lover. You are not in love.” Conditional LoveThe Crane Wife Author:CJ Hauser
“What if boundaries and boarders are actually the only way people can love each other equally and freely. What if, without those boundaries, love becomes an act of humanitarian aid.” RelationshipsBoundariesThe Crane Wife Author:CJ Hauser
