I've also previously written about false love verses real love.
False love is conditioned upon you or the other person doing what you
want them to be and doing what you want them to do. False love is not
real love. Real love is unconditional. Real love respects individual
feelings, thoughts and perceptions. False love is the attempt to impose
ones reality onto another. A very common example of acting out of false
love is when a child falls on the ground and the parent, instead of
soothing the child's pain, instead smiles like it never happened.
The parent would likely consider his or her actions as helping the child to overcome obstacles quickly, when in fact, the act of ignoring the pain the child is going through is damaging to the soul. Validation is the process of acknowledging and accepting feelings, thoughts and perceptions instead of trying to make what someone else experiences what you want it to be. It's more comfortable for the parent if the child smiles instead of cries, thus he or she invalidates the child by denying the child the freedom of expressing his or her pain both physical and/or emotional.
Without realizing it, we love falsely when we don't accept people for who they are. When we try to get them to smile when they are sad, we could--not always, but often, we could be invalidating their reality. It's healthy to accept others as they are, even if it makes us uncomfortable.
Pain is not always fun. Many times we want to avoid it and be joyous instead, but this is detrimental to your emotional health. Painful emotions never go away. Your e-motions are energy that will stay stuck in your emotional being and even your physical body until released. Learn more about the topic in my previous article: Healing Frozen Emotions.
