(Un)Conditional Love

Every relationship is built on some kind of love, Love for love or love for hate. I am here talking of relationships which are part of love, as in love for love. We are born in a family; parents take responsibility of our upbringing. Provide us best of environment to grow, educate us and try to make us a responsible citizen. One who can take on the responsibility of the family later on. Is this the expectation which our parents have from us when they provide us the best of life? I think not, it must be that, being part of family they must give us the best they can. And when they reach a situation where they need care, we take over their responsibility. So does it become necessary for the parents to remind the child of his duties, or the children themselves understand the responsibilities.

I feel now a days, the children are more mature than their age and very practical too. So they know what is expected out of them but still behave in weird ways with their parents. But does by providing education and upbringing, give parents complete control over the children's life. Aren’t the children supposed to have their own thought process and way of life? So if a child wants to live life as they want then parents shouldn't be objecting.

Coz all their expectations are their own and not the child's.

Same goes with friends, who claim that they will do anything for a friend. But putting it practically, is something like this possible?? What is the maximum one can do for a friend; lay down one's life is what I feel. There is no better sacrifice than giving up on life for a friend, but such act should make a difference to the situation and not just for doing it. With friend's, expectations too follow, we seek material things from them or things like companionship, comfort etc. Now does this all mean that I am a loner and for the fear of expectations from friends and family run away from them, maybe it is true to some extent but not fully true coz I know that I have my responsibilities towards them but fulfilling expectations as per their wish, how correct is it ?

What am I talking about???
