Care unconditionally
Choosing to care unconditionally is comparable to the Christian concept of agape (divine unconditional, self-sacrificing, volitional, thoughtful love). Agape is similar to the Tibetan Buddhist concept of maitri (loving-kindness" or "unconditional friendliness).

The writer C. S. Lewis viewed agape or charity as one of the four fundamental forms of love. Agape is love towards one's neighbor that does not depend on any loveable qualities that the object of love possesses.

With agape or maitri, we can love someone we don’t know. We can care about someone who may be acting in an unlovable manner. We cannot truly care with strings attached. Conditional caring narrows our vision and hobbles our effectiveness.
