all you need is love

What of love and happiness
So, ok. time to fathom loving.
I keep blabbing on about being prepared
but how can you truly be in love with someone and at the same time be prepared for getting hurt? Tis a paradox to me.
I guess the first step is to define preparation.
"to be ready for?" Hows that for a definition from www.ididntuseadictionary.com?
Ok to keep things idyllicly simple, I'm going to use love as in "unconditional love" This is the love that no matter what, you care for them/things/it and hope for the best. You hope that no matter what, if they need you you will be able to help.

Unconditional love seems that it would have the best interest for all parties involved. Meaning, if someone loves unconditionally, they are not selfish with their love.
Infatuation and or lust is selfish. True love is selfless.
Lust reveals itself with selfishness.
A luster would ask things of their lover that a true lover would never ask their partner . Lust is selfish in its expectations.
Unconditional (true) love is selfless, and will not heed the demands of a selfish lust. True love is able to see the selfishness and redirect it in its true direction.
Selfishness is a want mistaken for a need.

(I think this is the first blog I have not been able to type fast enough to get all of the thoughts out of my head! so fleeting..)
>.<

This being said, How the heck is it possible to not be hurt?
If true love can see selfishness, it must also see the faulty reasoning behind hurtful actions? Thus pity, thus love.
Mother Theresa summed it all up, "I have found the paradox to love until it hurts, then there is no more hurt, just more love."
Is love the only element without balance?

q:but how can you truly be in love with someone and at the same time be prepared for getting hurt?
a:Because if it is truly love, then you already are prepared.

& if the above q: and A: is true, then all you need is love! because even if someone killed you, and you are full of love, then you can't help but forgive them!?

There is no greater preparation than love!
