Do we find a bigger box?

I’m an atheist, so when I speak of God, it is as a metaphor for all that is human. Like as if there were a world collective consciousness made up of and connecting all humans in a way that helps us feel the impact of our actions on everyone else who is alive. [I wish that was actually the case.]

Christians say God’s love is infinite. Perhaps other religions say the same thing. If God’s love is infinite, can an individual human’s love also be infinite? If our individual love is also infinite, what are the practical implications of that circumstance? How do we handle infinite love?

And what if we are finite in love? What if we have a love box with a certain amount of love in it, and when we’ve given that away, there is no more. What happens when we run out? Do we notice? Do we long for more?

How do we stay within the rules of society yet still honor our feelings? Do we find a bigger box? Or do we accept the limits of the box we have?
