   Why?

   Oh, so the person with the most love is the person who holds love
inside the most?  In other words, the person who is perpetually grouchy,
has no friends, few acquaintences, is the person who has used up the
least amount of his (or her!) finite supply of love, and should there-
fore be the most deserving of love?
     
   Give me a break.
     
     There's no limit to the amount of
love, joy, or happiness a person can give, or receive.  There's no limit
to the number of fond memories a person can have.  Love isn't a 
commodity to be hoarded away; it is possible to love many people at 
once.  (Always expressing this physically isn't a good idea.)  
   
   Read Leo Buscaglia... he says it much better than I do.
     
   Again, I don't believe that loving one person lessens the amount you
can love another... provided you love each person for their own
individuality.  (If you love someone because they remind you of someone
else... that's a different story.)  Love's not a concrete object that
can be withered away.
