collaboration involves some trust, the common goal, or a series of scheduled works producing a social structure or functional infrastructure - especially if the duration of the project takes years or decades.

it's not just an element when dealing one on one, but the relationship of a person to many and to the world requires some common understanding, dedication, and trust.

even the idea of money - is a concept of trust. initially.

Not saying it's better to be selfless, but I don't think the happy theist is selfless.

Do you guys think conditional loves rests on a foundation of unconditional love?

it's too conceptual

the delight and duty of parental custody, and the bond between mates in all species that form lasting bonds might be foundational

otherwise civility, honesty, and hospitality are candidates

Unconditional love, It’s a nice idea with a few practical benefits to our species and nothing more, unless, we count deeply ecstatic / rapturous experience.. then it actually resembles a kind of flowing. :mushroom2:

Unconditional love feels GOOD necessarily.

so it can be a gushingly real hallucinatory experience not particularly grounded in life

Side note - Maybe genesis should be revised & edited to have a mosquito as the main protagonist.

I do not think in hindsight that the distinction of atheism and theism is relevant.  What matters is the internal and external conditions of the people involved with each other. 

What I mean to say is that the solicitations of the selfless are not always altruistic.  Which is what might be expected from someone who is that way.

Yes, and anyone who doubts this must have lived a somewhat sad and closed off life.
