Does agape, as in truly selfless and unconditional love, truly exist? Can one feel this, even for strangers? Enemies? The most despicable?

IMO it does, and I think it's weak/rare in humans, but it's possible for a human to feel this. It takes someone exceptional or someone who's worked on themselves a whole lot, who's introspected and gotten over their fears, issues, unthinking reactions, etc. or maybe just someone who's in touch with something deeper within. I think you can feel love for strangers, enemies (if you were sufficiently advanced you wouldn't call anyone your enemy), and the most "despicable."
