Too Much or Too Little

Someone told me that you could never have too much of Love. There is just always too little to go around.

It led me to asking myself, how would you ever suffer an over dose of love if that's the case. We've read so much about people, not just adults but even children who suffer from so little love. There is this children's home I go to every month where I meet at least 200++ children taken in by the Welfare Department, either because their parents are unable to care for them or because they are abandoned and maybe placed under grieve danger if in their care. If you just place the babies on your lap, without singing or rocking them to sleep, they will actually fall into a deep slumber. This is because, there is so little warmth given to them, that just by mere contact with your body, they feel love.

When we are so used to getting love, we tend to take things for granted. It is only when we spend time with the less fortunate that we realise how lucky we are. I may not have been a battered wife or an abused child to realise this, but I know what it is like to live your life with little compassion from others. So, there is such thing as too much love for those who were unfortunate to get too little.
