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!
Hoarding it is going to be especially counterproductive in that case.
Not necessarily, depending on the boundaries you trace on the concept "Love". It is perfectly reasonable that a mind would value itself loving other things or minds, but nothing else. This would mean that whether other things love said mind is irrelevant to the mind in question.
