Love is a natural emotion. when it is allowed to expressed , and recived by the child, normally and naturally, without limitation and condition, inhibation or embarrassnment, it does not require any thing more. For the joy of love expressed and received in this way is sufficient unto itself.Yet the love has been conditioned, limited, warped by rules and regulation, rituals and restrictions, controlled, manipulated and withheld, becomes unnatural.
The children who are made to feel that their natural love is not okay-that is wrong to express it and in fact ,they shouldn’t even experience it----------will have a difficult appropriately dealing with love as adult.Love that is continually repressed become as possessiveness, and a very unnatural emotion.
