[[Krishnamurti|Jiddu Krishnamurti]] said it best when he said "The beauty of unconditional love is that it transcends the object. It is an emotion that gives without expecting any reciprocity". We all have the capacity to give and receive love, no matter its form, and it is the most powerful force in the universe. Unconditional love is the highest form of love, and its power lies in its ability to be selfless, to provide without asking for anything in return. ![costa rica by van gogh ](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/05ce8cd2-dd05-4bb5-a12d-173742125c0a) ![layerd chilled galactic reservoir triangle pigeon ivy tambourine machinery , by Hans Andersen Brendekilde and Bruce Pennington and Vingent van Gogh , Concept Art , dutch golden age , bokeh](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/0a9c4ab8-7af6-4e93-a296-4106840f7a17)
