mp: "I have looked at When loving comes to giving, some people stop at nothing and am getting lost on various interpretations. I must be being thick as I cannot grasp it's subtle (or maybe not so subtle) message."

Pick one..but consider the other, as well.

I can get back to you, but I'm in a rush to get out the door...and I'd LOVE to expound on it.

Another possible way of describing it, somewhat, is, "Who ever demands the most, loves the least."

By the way, most of all of us have been on one side or the other, on the first one. I guess consequences, whether happiness or regret, should tell you which one you picked, at any given time!..Funny, how people who picked the wrong side, and don't learn from it, tend to blame 'somebody else'!!

Keep talking...we can ALL learn!!
