I don't think unconditional love is easy at all for humans, myself included. To unconditionally love a pet or animal is easy, because they aren't trying to control you or judge you, or disagree with your comfort zones, and they LOVE YOU unconditionally.
If we really examine our feelings (in general, no one here in particular), it may shed some light. For instance, a family member or a friend dies. You suddenly see all the good, and all the supposed bad just falls away. What you are left with is the core of love you felt for that person (unconditional love) no matter what they ever did or did not do. How often are we able to achieve this level of love in 3D while our acquaintance is alive and healthy?
Universal love and unconditional love, both, to me, require detachment (which sounds counterintuitive). One must detach from the person or the universe if one is to experience unconditional acceptance and love—otherwise, one is attached and concerned with outcomes.
