Unconditional Love

What? Me worry?
I experience it regularly, from animals. Never people. Animals love unconditionally, all people have things they need/want. (I could just be bitter though).
"Unconditional" might not be the best name for it, but I think the love you're talking about is the altruistic love that comes and goes like a breeze, that refreshes us like a breeze, that cannot be willed or forced to happen, that seldom lasts very long when it does appear, and that now and then returns.
I am sure others are capable of loving unconditionally, but for the longest time (and even still now) I do not love myself. I never really have. I have been hurt a lot, and I hold many resentments because of it (whether warranted or not). In other words, I probably don't see it.
I don't think that I love unconditionally either, I know for a fact that I don't. I do strive towards it as an ideal though. Much like a Christian pursues the idea of being Jesus-like.

Unconditional love exists. It varies from person to person because our upbringing is different. Unconditional love could be more of gratitude to others and putting other people before yourself. I believe it exists because I assume we have a natural tendency, even if its hard to show, to have some form of gratitude even if its a smile for getting ice cream, for something someone else has done for you. So, the unconditional love is living that gratitude not for the sake of yourself only but for the sake of others. It's loving others without anything in return and without knowing them to judge whether you should love them or not. Love for humanity, but in a personal way.
All humans have the ability to do this. I don't know if there would be any debates, if we got to that point of loving each other for their differences and learning from each other as well.

Thank you for your considerate reply. Sorry to hear of your hurts and wounds. Even sorrier to hear you don't love yourself. Good luck in that!
Unconditional love is the 11th dimension, it is one of the first parts to heaven. Within it being a dimension we see it interwoven into all of life, such as many animals falling in love, etc.
May I ask what method or procedure for obtaining knowledge allowed you to arrive at those conclusions?
Are you saying that unconditional love for you is the same as gratitude? Just curious.
I'm guessing the brain and central nervous system.

Actually, yes. In addition to compassion, patience, et certera that's tied into respect for others even if we feel they do not deserve it.
Saw it during my NDE; which was as such an ascension through the quantum dimensions, thus have tried to quantify it all.
Quite interesting!

What is generally referred to as 'unconditional love' is not unconditional at all. I don't know whether you mean just that or something else. If you could clarify what you consider to be 'unconditional love' I could perhaps give a better answer.

People say they uncondtionally love their children; yet if it was unconditional, why don't they love other peoples children as well.
Exactly why I have said that what is generally considered to be 'unconditional love' is not unconditional at all.
For unconditional love to be true, it also has to be beyond linear time and instead be infinite.
Why would that be?
