THE question: my answer

in an ideal world, you’d hope that everyone is paired. i base this on the idea that everyone should at least have one person who would go to them. ideally, your mother would have your father, ideally, your daughter would have her husband; ideally, you would have your lover. throwing a monkeywrench into this, however, is age, more specially, a child has yet to meet their significant other, so they would have no one. this lack of attachment strikes me stronger than anything else, and that is why i apply my altruism to this situation. i would simply choose the person who has no one, so that they would have someone. even if that person is a complete stranger, as long as my loves are loved i would seek out the unloved and make them loved.
