What's the big deal of loving someone unconditionally? (seriously) You're talking about being unconditional love.... That seems to me to be different then loving someone unconditionally, no? Also, can you love one person unconditionally, without loving everyone unconditionally?

The way you word this has me thinking that you're still thinking of unconditional love as something that you have "for" particular people. If you are loving one person unconditionally, but not loving everyone unconditionally, then that is conditional love. There is a condition that must be met by the other person before you are willing or able to love them unconditionally. So, what are your conditions? What do you require that a person do, be, think, or say before you will love them unconditionally? Or is it just the luck of the draw? Are some people inherently loveable and others not?
What if you were to let go of needing reasons to love someone or not, and BE unconditional love, regardless of external circumstance, just because you choose to? You don't have to, of course, and if it doesn't feel good you'd be a dummy to force yourself or pretend. And just speculate -- how might your life be if you were harboring no requirements, if you were simply BEING love regardless of the thoughts, actions, or words of others?
p.s.... loving unconditionally doesn't mean you have to invite everyone over for dinner.
