'TIS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL


[+] ballot by larrynelmira

I don’t know if that is necessarily true, if you never loved you wouldn’t have the heartache of losing that love, you can’t miss something you never experienced and with all due respect, just because it is written by some dead English Poet, does not always mean it is correct.

You are wrong Larry
You have issues Larry
You are right Larry
I can see both sides

I disagree. It's better to have not loved and lost.

It's better to have not wasted all that time and money.

Love never paid for anything and takes up way to much time.

I think there's an error in your logic.

If one has never loved, one knows nothing of the experience, and is unqualified to agree or disagree with the predicate.
Only the soul who experiences it can qualify the judgement.

^there was a time when I didnt' love and I was happy, now I have loved and lost, and I'm not happy, I experienced both.

When I speak of love, I mean romantic relationship love

If you have never loved, you have already missed it...I think it's one of the more important experiences one should have in their life, to love and be loved is even better but it seems most people are rejected at least once and some more than that...and that's probably the reason so many people do not wish to get into a serious relationship because they have been hurt before and you are vulnerable once you do...but since you need something to compare it to, see ballot #105803

I used to speak and think in poetic quotes, almost taking what some poets say as gospel, but, I've learned just because what they say might sound beautiful and idealistic, IMO now, it's not always true. Life can suck , it's not always living happily ever after.

When you have loved and then you lose that person, it can feel like the worst thing in the world. BUT wouldn't you rather have the satisfaction of knowing you are capable of loving and capable of intense feelings? That way you know love will come again. It always does!

Love isn't something you can lose. Love is something you experience and just because a Lover parts, doesn't mean the love you have goes with them. When you love, you are happy. If you lose a lover and you are unhappy, that is ego's pride. It is not love lost. Keep love and discard the pride.

Love is not jealous, wrathful, prideful, contemptuous or malicious. Love is a noun : 'affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests', and Love is a verb : 'to like or desire actively ; take pleasure in',

Why are you unhappy?

There are people who have NEVER loved, and the reason for this is because they CAN'T love. These people are painfully aware of this inability.

When you love and you lose--it's over. You know you can love again.
But NEVER loving is NEVER over.

I guess it depends on how much you loved and how much it cost. I'd vote for a system wherein we could decide if we wanted to remember a love or not.

Both have a degree of pain in them. It hurts to break up or divorce and for awhile it seems to take up ever aspect of your daily life.

I know someone who has never been in love, she continually questions if she is "good" enough for anyone and tortures herself with this.

In the end, both are just as painful. Pretty picture BTW.

Passive, I'm unhappy because the person I love found someone new, apparently I'm that easy to forget sad

That my friend is ego. It lie's to you.
The person you're in love with, is not in love with you. So What! Does that matter to the love you experience, or to your own sense of self worth, your pride and your ego?

The love you have for this person exists. If it is truely love, you will rejoice in that they are experiencing love, and in love, happiness.
Be happy for them. If you keep this person in bondage, by guilt or force, it's not love being expressed on your part and you will only make the person you are loving unhappy.

Keep love Larry. That is the power of the spirit that gives life. It is what created you through the love of your parents.
Let pride go. You can not make people love you. If they do, that's a blessing they enjoy. You benefit, but it's their experience. If that's what you seek, then ego and self centeredness is your spirit, not love. The love you experience, that's your happiness and blessing.

It is wise to seek to love and not to be loved. That's happiness. Let your spirit rise, love is a sacrafice worth making.

^ It's the power of creation!

One more thing my friend. Jesus said, "There is no greater Love than to give your life for a friend". I believe that's is the true meaning of Love.
