The key word is "benefit", which is the same as saying moving closer to homeostasis. You're helping the group, even if it is a group of only you and one other person. When you associate deeply with other people, psychologically you consider you and them to be one and the same. Anyway, I'd love to discuss this further, but maybe this isn't the right thread for all of this?
