I can't imagine living with millions of stranger and then missing my love one, but then I don't see happiness in living with my love one at the expense of millions. Ergo, I don't know.

I would have a huge fight with my loved one, alienate them completely, so they weren't even speaking to me. Then I would save the millions and entice my loved back from their ranks.

Save WHICH millions?

Maybe I would have made a good lawyer because I always see fatal flaws in questions like these. Not enough information to make an informed choice. Are you offering me millions of sub-Sahara bandits and their AIDS-infected tribesmen in trade for the person I love most in the world? I don't think so. How about millions of scientists, teachers, philosophers, artists and the future leaders of the world who will be able to fix the mess this batch got us into? OK, maybe we can consider it.

If you still actually love them, then they still die when you save the millions. The conditions are pretty simple.

Let's just say the loophole works (Obviously, I don't think it would). All you have succeeded in doing is alienating the one person who loved you.

You'll never get that back.

Trust is a one-time-only offer.

Remarkable how many people don't understand that.

BTW, I've added that to my quotes database.
