Too much love?

Can there be such a thing as too much love.  Possibly yes, in some cases.  Monterey is an amazing and beautiful place.  It’a also a relatively small community along about 3 miles of shoreline within the greater Monterey Bay which has 65 miles of shore line.  Tourist love it but are usually restricted in numbers by the available number of parking spaces in town.  But there is a greater menace looming out on the horizon, hovering over and loving this tiny seaside community and historic place to death.  They arrive during the night and appear at first light, like an invasion force ready to overwhelm and conqueror. 



Monterey harbor is too small by far to accommodate even one of these huge cruise ships at the dock.  So they anchor just outside of the harbor entrance and disgorge their legions of passengers via small boats until the streets, walkways and wharfs are chock-a-block with people.  Back and forth all morning these ship’s little boats go until the small town is filled to overcapacity. 



So yes, I think that in some instances, there can be too much love of even a good thing.  Something to think about as our world's population grows to ever increasing numbers without any real thought or restraint and the very real places that we love get overwhelmed one by one.
