If you value love, then you would value passing it on.

That does not seem to follow. If I value love why can't I be entirely selfish with respect to it? I might prefer to get more love than everyone else!

If you are selfish in respect to it, that means that you value yourself having love.

When I say "value love", I mean prefer a universe with love to one without.
