Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? I would rather have never loved at all, because then I don't know what I'm missing.
I totally agree with you- unfortunatly, I don't find that love is an emotion that one can control- so we'll all probably end up loving someone at one time or another...
I disagree, never to love in your life is a great loss Its a part of life, you have to get over such things and move on
Obviously better to have loved and lost as my favorite fictional character Edmond Dantes would agree, "There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another - nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of Living." ~ The Count of Monte Cristo If you've never loved you've never lived
okay, I see your point. When I have ever loved and lost, it has mostly led to regret. I can't stand regretting things, regret is an angry disease that eats away at my happiness in the wee hours of the morning. it's just another reason no never love at all -_-
I can understand the concept of thinking it's better to have never loved at all if you've gone through a breakup with someone you've been with for a long time and you KNOW it's over for good. It's crushing... Having survived that and finding my wife makes me realize that the statement "better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all" is more true than you may think. You could miss out on SO much from not having loved at all, even if your relationship ends badly, you at least had good times with that person, right? And you experienced what love is. <3
i would definitely rather to have loved at lost. Even though you are crushed by the experience, you have something to live for. You can spend your life with a goal to find someone new who you can share this amazing feeling with
I feel sometimes that I would have rather not met the person I love, because it hurts alot when things go wrong. So I wish I never had a chance to be with them =/ On the other hand, you cant really help it! Its out of your control!
Weird question... I would rather not have ever been in love with the women that hurt me. Rather have never met them at all. I'd rather that I never confused being in love with someone for being in love with who I wanted them to be. As blissful as some of the ignorance was and as high as some of the highs were, they were never worth the end result. Now real love, having children with someone, growing old together, and being unfortunate enough to outlive my dream girl.... never done it, so I can't say for absolute certain - but I'd like to think that I could survive it and that it would be well worth it.
If you have loved and lost, it only toughens you up. You mature and grow smarter through it so in the future, you should make better decisions. It is better to have loved and lost. As long as you can endure the pain=/ There was a kid who lived near me about 7 years ago, his parents told him he couldnt be with this girl, so he hung himself...Two days later, she did the same.
I would say No (It is better to have never loved at all). Because if it was lost.... I would feel really depressed, sad. Even though I at least loved before, I would rather not go through the pain.
I've never loved anyone before, I'm still too young so I've never experienced that emotion before. But personally I think it is better to have loved before because you deserve to have a relationship with that someone special. :]
If I lost the one I love, I'd be devastated... sometimes I think it'd just be better to have not loved at all.
depends wholly on the person, if they can handle the loss of something so great. Everyone should be allowed to experience the feeling. in my opinion, it's better to have loved so you know what it feels like and can strive for more after losing.
I dont think to have loved and lost even exists. What is the point of "Loving" it gives you that feeling, that euphoria So if you "Loved" you actually gain by getting that feeling, you can't ever lose it. "Love" is an experience it's just like mountain climbing once you mountain climb. you will eventually want to do it again So when you "Lose" it it's just time to refill it, Theres plenty of people to fall in love with out there. The good thing about love is that you can do it over and over again.
I choose it's better to have loved. maybe it's just because i've never been in a relationship before but at least u have a love life in your memory isn't it? plus a loner always envy couples.(maybe just me!)
Love is a feeling that just makes one be happier. To never know the feeling at all would seem to just be a way to be hollow and empty.
I believe it is better to not be loved is better. If you loose a love, you would grieve over it, but on the contraray, if u are not loved, then you will not grieve for something you never had
