Life Is Too Precious

It is neither better nor worse, both hurt.

I disagree

I had a heartbreak that lasted two years.....i felt like I was in a self-initiating Hell....

Would I still want to fall in Love again, and risk feeling that pain all over ?

Yes, you better beleive it !

I think the High that comes off from Love is worth any pain it accompanies or results in.

to avoid the pain of being lost or losing a loved one i have decided not to be loved or to love.

You do not have that choice.....

-You cannot choose who you fall in Love with, or not to fall in love, it will happen on its OWN, WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION. That is how it always happens.

-You cannot choose who Loves you.....a person will love or not love you, on thier own terms, with or without your permission.....

Both hurt, yes. But a broken heart heals. Time heals all wounds...save one: lonliness. That's the only pain which gets worse with time.

Live is for living, attempting to avoid it is like trying to run from the rain.

Isn't avoiding life suicide?

True, some say time heals all wounds but I don´t believe in that. In my life things do only get worse.

At least it ends when you die. But I still have about 60 years before that happens.

No

A logical person would not aim to destroy their own happiness...sorry my freind, but you need help.

How does that contradict what I stated? Having loved and lost, and never having loved at all both hurt, and neither is better or worse than the other.

Loneliness is worse than Heartbreak.

You get over Heartbreak....you heal and learn from it. You don't learn anything from Loneliness, you don't grow from it, you get weaker and weaker with it.

If you never knew what it was like to Love, know love, have love, and even lose love, you suffer far longer and deeper than the pain you have when you lose love.

Like I already said, I felt a horrid heartbreak...a heartbreak so horribly, I wanted to die....

I still prefer that to a state of constant loneliness, however....that intense pain I felt was better compared to the prolonged emptiness accompanied by a constant lack of love.

I'm going to go on the opposite side of this "Life is too Precious" argument, and say that this limited life is not nearly as precious as many make it out to be.

With all of the war, disease, famine, evil and death that exists within this world, I have to say that I find myself often longing for a life that is perfect in nature, offers unconditional love, and does not possess any painful limitations.

Even with death, war, disease, evil and famine, I still believe that life should be thought of as a gift. Still, I think that one can only be truly content with this gift when they look beyond what they have received, and look more towards what they can give back.

I welcome death in a way, it is a release from the tortures of living

But adds the tortures of dying.

Depends upon the method of death. I would prefer a quick and painless one or perhaps one where it is not seen coming

I beleive the pain you endure throughout your life, this same pain you are allowing yourself to drown is, is FAR worse than my previous heartbreak

My previous heartbreak began 2004 and did not end until late 2006....I was in Hell, I wanted to die, I felt no more reason to exist....

I'm over it now...way over it....my pain was intense yes....but I learned from it, I am different now. Despite the intensity and irrationality of my pain, it is still better than extreme loneliness (I know what that is like too)

Extreme Loneliness is a FAR FAR emptier feeling.....

Time can be a friend, but yes ultimately all healing comes from within ourselves. Changing your perception a bit.

People that never give love a try don't know what they're missing even though it comes with a "risk." Love is something that can be experienced many times over.

Some people go on for years not understanding how to move on. The answer does not lie in time. It is in our own mind. It is what we do with our lives while time is passing that either helps us, heals us or keeps us stuck.

That's when people buy lots of cats.......Cat people.. 🤨

I'm so used to broken hearts, having experienced and caused so many, that I'm pretty much resistant to the depression and angst accompanied by it....

I agree with you there.

IT is the individual person who heals in his or her own way. Time is simply an aspect in this...some people keep thier obsessions for life.
