that would infer that love was ever a roaring fire that has grown cold, which it has never been on this planet's history.if the love of most has grown cold is the end of some relationship near?

that would infer that love was ever a roaring fire that has grown cold, which it has never been on this planet's history.
so how could it grow colder when it was never warm to begin with?
people in general
I don't know, people are pretty ok to me, in general, but i can't say i love them all.
following the golden rule, or being civil, is still a type of love being mirrored
being decent is judgement/choice. its what the golden rule implies what is expected for self is expected of all.No, that's just being a decent person.

wickedness is doing to others what you wouldn't want for self.
tribalism
the word isn't there. common sense isn't necessarily common because some find it contemptible.I see no mention of love in that.
the Egyptians had the same ideas, just phrased slightly different....luke 12:49

i think we do too.I think you and i believe differently about the meaning of love. I see it as very different to "like" or even "really like".

and, how does one stir up a fire when there is an "iron hand" that crushes it out....
so, how to increase a "fire' when there is an active suppression system in place that retards the development?
any bright ideas?

the mother of all the nations re-enacting the same unfolding dramaegypt is metaphorically known as the furnace. in alchemy the mettle is purfied from the mundane.
out of egypt i called my son
i think we do too.
you have a much more restricted view of it; which is naive.
friendship and friendly is the ultimate form of love. friend literally has its etymology in love
doesn't matter what the relationship is; if it isn't friendly it isn't decent
i don't see love as cheap. you're already using contemptible terms in reference to love. i see it as a infinite/bottomless well from which i draw.No way restrictive, simply not given freely like its 10 a penny, love is serious and meaningful. But feel free to fool yourself in to thinking love is cheap.
Friendly is not necessarily love but love is always friendly

i see it in other species too. they probably don't know what the word love is either but they definitely know a kindly vs unfriendly thing when they see one.
