Is this what we call unconditional love?

I watched “The Road to Enlightenment” on National Geographic under the Secret China series on Sunday evening, 13 July 2003. A Chinese woman and her son made a perilous 2,000 km pilgrimage to Tibet. Her son had to kneel after every three steps he took as an act of penance. Finally they arrived at Lhasa’s famous temple. She had gone to Lhasa to look for her husband who came here 50 years earlier.
When they arrived home at their village after an absence of two years, their family members welcomed them back with happy tears and open arms. The whole village came to welcome them home and to renew ties. Many openly wept as they had thought the old woman would not survive the strenuous journey through rough terrain. She was overwhelmed by the touching welcome she received, not only from members of her own family but also from other villagers. This documentary demonstrates how much simple people love each other.
We should emulate their philosophy of life. We should value and love people for themselves rather than for their economic value or their achievements. Today, people are hardly valued for themselves, rather for what they are able to do and their usefulness to others. Society places a high premium on people who have acquired a high-level of education, on people who hold the so-called glamourous jobs, on people who earn fat salaries. It ignores those it deems unimportant, the so-called non-achievers.
