What is the Point of Love if it is going to Hurt you?

Don't we use love for selfish purposes? Don't we say "I want her/him"? It's a desire most of us share overlord.

Love is the way to open yourself and show your deeply feelings.
Of course you knows that you can be hurted and anyway we take the risk. IMO

Be my guess and happy aging.

To lock oneself in a room, redcaped, is to deny yourself the joys of life so as not to pay the costs that come with them. Such a life is seen by many to be cold, and lonely...

But if a girl knocks on my door I will let her in and I hope she does the same for me!

Life waits for you to do something.

No one likes to be hurt. Physically nor mentality. And you know relationships don't last. Why struggle to find love and happiness with another person? When there is a high chance that person might hurt your feelings in the future? Do we really have sadistic desires? Are we really beings that enjoy pain? Is that why we fall in love?

Come on you Romantics come here and correct me. 😉

Life hurts

Did I say already how tempted I feel to post Neil Young's "Only Love can break your heart"?

[edit]Nevermind...I have to

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games that I was playing.
Trying to make the best of my time.

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

I have a friend I’ve never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out.
Try to lose the down that he’s found.

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

I have a friend I’ve never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart

Life is nothing but you-you die no more life. Life is not a general word like they teach in school. We are not connected to each other.

With that...I can agree. We connect ourselves to each other. Love is just a fortune on finding the person you want to be. Or some people pick anything out of desperation.

I am tempted to post a quote that just crossed my mind:

"The man who eats alone, dies alone. But he does not die of hunger."

Some people choose a life of solitude and peace. And isn't it better to be in peace and harmony than to be hurt and full of pain?

Remenber this is only philosophical thinking. 😉

Is this like
Catch a falling star and put it in you pocket
Save it for a rain day,
For love my come and tap you on the shoulder some starlit night
and just in case you feel you want to hold her, you'll have a pocket full of star light.

sweet ^^

If you apply that theory to everything, than you would be living a cowards life. Or so the "theory" would prove...

Yoda (and sorry to take this out of context) lived a peacefull and soliditary life. Would you say he is a coward? Of course not! After everything he went through, he didn't live a life of P and S out of fear of getting hurt, but rather a time to see what he did wrong, and live with that mistake. Peace and solitude can only be enjoyed if you have the experience of a community and chaos. Because how can you tell if the apple is sweet if you've never tasted the sour lemon?

My life is not easy and I fear too much from things.

I don't know about Yoda and being a coward. But there are people who renounce all worldly pleasures (including love) and embark into a spiritual life of learning. Such people are what we call "monks". Just because you give up love and dedicate your life to a spiritual journey doesn't make you any less than a person fallen in love.

Many of those people are in love, with god or knowledge or whatever.
