Loved and Lost?

If you know ANYTHING about Mao Tse-tung then the last place you would be quoting him would be in a discussion about LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If someone has loved and lost, that person is in extreme emoional pain. So, I would think it's better never to have loved at all as one is not aware of what one doesn't have. Allthough I am married and have a 2 yr old daughter, I don't regret knowing love, but I profoundly fear the loss of it.

wow this thread has been risen from the dead...

That's coz it's mah thread bebeh.

Personally, I think it's better to ride a roller-coaster than drive in Holland.

ok try this one. is it better to know something that to know nothing and live in pure ignorance? same question really.

to love and be loved is a gift in itself. its the begining of the end. each cycle ends to begin again.

You got me, yerssot. Please let me amend my observation:

I think it's better to ride a roller-coaster than drive in Holland without being stoned or all shroomed-up.

Agreed?

"ok try this one. is it better to know something that to know nothing and live in pure ignorance? same question really."

Well none of us can really say can we?...because you could not have experienced both situations so who's to say which one is better or worse?..it depends on the feeling and u couldn't have had both feelings so how do you know which feeling hurt the most?

"it depends on the feeling and u couldn't have had both feelings so how do you know which feeling hurt the most?"

I think the theory is that while you can't experience the sheer hurt of losing someone you love, if you've never loved. So is it better to experience love even if you lose it, than it is to never experience it.

i'd say its better to have loved and lost because although you will feel hurt, u will also remember all the good times you've had and all the memories which will keep u goin throughout the day

but then one could argue that its better to have never loved at all because you wont feel the hurt, after all you cant miss something u never had....

Yeah but in hindsight there is always gonna be a time where you get past the pain of a break up although it's not necessarily getting over the love. So then you have the memories, the feeling of what it was like and no pain. Maybe a a bit of sadness.

Depends on the loss. If I was in a long term relationship and my girlfriend died or whatever, would be much worse.

love will always make you grow...
no pain no gain... <--- that is a common proverb used by my friends..

This question is same like letting a child experience what fire can do to them...

There are different parents with different philosophies.. some let the child experience the pain, some just forbid them.. according to what you said, I believe you will just forbid them, right?

A) I'm not having kids.

B) Would I forbid them from falling in love? **** no. If my son or daughter came home looking sad and said "I have a crush and I dunno what to do." The first thing I'd do is make them realise how important it is to cease the chance. Happiness is a luxury we're not often afforded and alot of the time, with regards to relationships or attractions, you have to just grab at it.

You can't discover love if you don't take the first step.

Love is something that, IMO, you cannot truly understand until you've experienced it.
