%UNCONDITIONAL LOVE CONDITIONAL DIALOGUE ACCEPTANCE 881127

     A   commitment   to   unconditional  love   and   the
responsibility  which it sometimes seems to suggest  often
leads  to  the  assumption  of  excessive  responsibility,
paternalism, codependence, dependency and addiction.  Such
a commitment and pattern of excessive responsibility often
lends itself to dependent manipulation  and to perversions
of the meaning of love.

     Another   perversion  of  love  entails   conditional
dialogue  and  acceptance  which threatens  rejection  and
excommunication if  conformity  is  not properly achieved.
Such relationships are characterized by a lack of interest
in genuine dialogue.   In such relationships dialogue is a
reward for conformity, rather than the focus of a personal
desire.
