You got it wrong buddy, I never said that Hate and anger and sadness disapears, I'm saying you have the choice to empower which emotions you wish to fully experience and thus use as an everyday tool. Free will my friend not ignorance.
Peace!

For something to be unconditional it requires just that: no cause, no reward, no stimuli. I do believe that unconditional love does exist. I do things out of love and kindness all the time, without any concern for whether they are known, repaid, appreciated, or acknowledged. I just do them.
Knowing there is hate in the world does not make my spontaneous, unmotivated, unconditional actions of love any less valid and real. I am sure there are unconditional moments of hate as well.

Unconditional love is awareness. It sees 'things' appear, 'things' like anger, accepts it and allows the next 'thing' to appear. Awareness does not hold on to any 'thing'.

If you love life in any conditions, you cant go into deep negative emotions anymore, this love for life will support you even in the down moments when your wishes are not fulfilled.

See, the emotion arises, you are conscious of it and you choose not to go with it, you are in control.
This is achievable.

With the recognition of awareness comes compassion. Compassion is acceptance.
If you are talking about love with the opposite being hate then both of these appear in awareness. Awareness is the neutral state and love/hate are 'things' that are seen by awareness.
Love/hate is dual and awareness is non dual.
