Imagine the scenes if Neymar joins Orlando City, wins the MLS Cup & MVP before Messi does—even though Messi's team spent $400M on transfers. Then Ney joins LAFC to play alongside Son. Messi cries to the MLS to stop the transfer.
This is literally what Ronaldo is doing here 😭
If another country is trolling your country for days without repeating materials, then you need to look inwards and act.
Getting angry over the truth is low intelligence behaviour.
I miss my wife’s face every single day as a blind person🥹. The last time I saw my wife’s face, the faces of my loved ones and friends was seven years ago when I became blind as a result of an armed robber that shot me in the face. Sometimes I feel her face with my hands to create a perfect picture in my head, but it can never be compared to being able to see her with my eyes. but I’m grateful to God that I was able to see her beautiful face for several years before I became blind. It’s our wedding anniversary month and we will be six years married by January 31.
So I say to you all, value your eyes, look your loved ones in the face and tell them how beautiful and handsome they are and how much you love them. Travel if you can and see the beauty and colours of the world with them. for someone like me, all I can see is black and ever since I travelled from Nigeria to Canada, all I can hear is new accents, the new sound of birds and life around me.
So if you can take a moment to just say God, I’m grateful for my eyes and find a place in your heart to pray for me to see again.🙏
Nobody loves you simply because you exist. I have tried repeatedly to explain this reality: human beings are conditional in how we love, and there is nothing inherently wrong with that.
Unconditional love, in the human sense, does not truly exist. Selfless acts are a subset of unconditional love, but they are not unconditional love. If someone attempts to take your life, you will not continue to love them the same way if at all. Only God has the capacity for truly unconditional love.
Parents love their children because they are their children. If that condition did not exist, there would be no reason for them not to love every other child exactly the same way. The sacrifices they make, working, providing, protecting are driven by that relationship. The same principle applies to siblings and extended family: what we do for one another is rooted in shared identity and bonds. These are conditions.
Romantic love is no different. Your spouse or partner loves you because of who you have become, your values, character, discipline, worldview, physical attributes, and how you navigate life. Even when people say “discipline keeps love alive when feelings fade,” that discipline itself is built on earlier conditions that made the relationship worth preserving.
We need to stop deceiving ourselves.
What people often label as “unconditional love” actually removes empathy and fairness when examined closely. You cannot love a beggar who requires constant attention and care the same way you love a billionaire, who requires little from you. Human capacity is limited, and love is naturally distributed based on need, responsibility, proximity, and value systems.
This is why God can bless both the rich and the poor equally. Humans, however, are instinctively drawn to respond first to need. If you help the poor before the rich, that decision is already influenced by a condition, the person’s lack.
So yes, love is conditional.
It always has been.
Pretending otherwise does not make us virtuous, it just makes us dishonest.
I am 39 years old and I grew up hearing that the United States was a superpower but Trump is the first president in my lifetime to actually act like he believes it.
