I also asked myself this, reeay. But consider this: If you just remove the external factors, you will experience the same again and again. Experience will inform you quite fast if you just changed your external reality or if you integrated aspects of the self. I believe that every liberating step needs a certain amount of inner change and acceptance.
Of course, one should not create others as enemies. Nevertheless, unconditional love doesn't mean to me that one must interact with everybody. Selflessness is not love.
