Unconditional love becomes possible when you practice cultivating these four states of mind:
1. Friendliness or loving kindness is the heartfelt wish for the well-being of oneself and others.
2. Compassion is a virtue —one in which the emotional capacities of empathy and sympathy (for the suffering of others) are regarded as a part of love itself, and a cornerstone of greater social interconnectedness and humanism
Ranked a great virtue in numerous philosophies, compassion is considered in all the major religious traditions as among the greatest of virtues.
