What or who is most?

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.
No, that's just being a decent person.
being decent is judgement/choice. its what the golden rule implies what is expected for self is expected of all.
cosmopolitan
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.

the Egyptians had the same ideas, just phrased slightly different....
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?
I think you and i believe differently about the meaning of love. I see it as very different to "like" or even "really like".
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
egypt is metaphorically known as the furnace. in alchemy the mettle is purfied from the mundane.
out of egypt i called my son
If "love" has grown cold then it probably wasn't love.

the mother of all the nations re-enacting the same unfolding drama
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 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.
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.
Tell me, do you respect the rapist, the murderer? I would think not, respect must be earned. Respect is a large part of love.
As for contemptible...
Waasup, comeback not to your liking?
