Unconditional Love

"Men are dogs", women say. Well, you wish we were that good.

We may behave like dogs in the worst of ways, but if you want the full benefits, then we need to take on all of the positive behaviors too. Let's start with the best and hardest one of all - unconditional love.

Wouldn't you like to have a b/f that loved you with no expectations? You won't find many human beings on Earth, save for the Gurus and Yogis (who won't be your b/f), that radiate unconditional love the way "man's best friend" will. And by "man" we mean both genders.

Though not faithful (we'll come back to this one), your loyal doggie friend will gush with the purest love for you everyday no matter what. Well, unless you're just really abusive. Your dog loves you no matter what kind or how many treats you give out, how much you play with them or pet them (though I think a happier dog loves bigger!). You can be in a bummer mood and your dog will draw the joy out of you with a wagging tail and a friendly look. They don't need compliments, ego massages or sex to motivate their love for you.

Your guy might be patient and loving, but how long would he last if he didn't get the buttons pushed that meet his expectations? I'm not saying that we should withhold anything from our partners, but there is nothing so liberating and freeing as unconditional love. In my experience, the most amazing moments of co-creative bliss came after I've given love without being attached to the results. And that's the crux of the problem. Men, born human, suffer from unmet expectations.

That's a lesson we'll have to study more from our furry friends!

So, what's the down-side of unconditional love? Next time, I'll get into that one.

You gals call us Dogs, but we're just what you need

Actually, what you need is men that *really* act like dogs, not just the behaviors that disgust you.

For you women that own dogs, like the furry kind, you know just what I'm talking about. There are few things that your dog doesn't do better than us men. But OK, there are some things that can't, or shouldn't get from your dog. But let's talk about how us men could learn from dogs and be the perfect mate. Maybe women should be like dogs too, but I don't think so. I'm in love with a woman that sets me on fire and she's nothing like a dog, so maybe it's just us that needs the lesson of the bow wow Tao.

In this blog, that will be read by probably no more than two people (that includes me), I'm going to record the tiny insights that we get from our four legged fury friends on the art of Taoist love. I'd like to hear your ideas too, from either side of the Yin/Yang coin!
