I completely agree that love is a great thing, and that in this world be can never have enough of it. But from a Buddhist perspective, I think for most of us love still stems from desire. While there is still an idea of a "self", then there will also be the idea of "other" and I am not sure love, or compassion or whatever can be said to be "non-conditional."

But it is something to certainly work for. Being kind and compassionate towards others creates the causes of happiness for ourselves and others and helps us to purify our minds. If we aim to have the mind of always looking to benefit others, then we have have good results.
