I have a lot more than 30 minutes of thinking about the term "unconditional love".
Imagine a math freshman comes to you. He spend 100 hours thinking that he has found a way to prove P=NP. After all the famous mathematicians are also only human. Will it take you 30 minutes to find the flaw in his argument? Likely not because you spent a lot of time thinking about math and how to do mathematical proofs while the freshman hasn't.
It's also not only thinking time. You likely would be less good at math if you wouldn't have learned from capable teachers about how math works.
What I meant was in part that what I appeared to be saying to you is not what I believe. There are semantic issued involved (what do the words "universal love and compassion mean?"). I was in fact talking specifically about being able to overcome knee jerk negative reactions to apparent hostility.
