    Default Is it better to love and lose,

    then never to love at all?

    on edit: You know, that is the expression, but what I really meant to ask was

    "Is it better to love and lose than not to love?"

    Which does not imply that if you answer no then you're voting for never experiencing love in your life. For instance I've loved, and lost. So, I have experienced love. So the next time, is it better to love and lose? Or not?

    I suppose it is up to the individual....and while internal love-pain sucks beyond all suckiness - to not experience it leaves you feeling not only empty....but incapable of being loved.

    It is better to love and lose than to never love at all because it enriches YOU. That YOU have that capability is so valuable.
    In the movie "The Mexican" (bet you all saw that, eh) the hitman (played by James Gandolfini) says that of all the people he killed, the ones who had known love in their lives went to death with less fear.
    It might not last forever, but hey, nothing does....

    I voted yes, but aren't we being biased? Obviously, we have loved and been loved. Who's to say? If someone can come on here and say no love has ever existed, and really mean it, I'd like to know!

    My emotional part of me thinks that if I had never loved, the pain of the loss would be something I could happily have done without it.

    But, both the love I have had (both giving and receiving) and the pain of its lost were part of me, and are part of the building blocks that make who I am today. I wouldnt trade any of that.

    Im happy for have loved someone but he is gone now and I miss him alot. Now, I think that it would be better to have not known how it felt to be in love. The pain of loss is much greater than the satisfaction of having someone for me.

    I voted "yes". I can understand it would be hard to say "yes" after a tough break-up. I've had two tough break-ups in my past where I was miserable and hated the idea of ever having been in love with these men, but I've found that after the pain has gone away, I would remember all the wonderful times we had together and all of the positive things each guy brought into my life. Then, I found that I was thankful for having been in love, having lost love, and having LEARNED from it. That's why I choose "yes".

    having been on the "loved and lost" side of this question, yes, it is better to have done so. I'll never be with the girl I loved, but the time I had with her was worth every minute of the heartbreak that still hurts a little today (10 years later).

    I keep changing my mind.

    On my date last night I thought things were going great... but when I kissed her it was pretty clear she didn't want to kiss me back.

    I vote NO

    -----

    OK, back to YES

    I'd rather never know love than experience it and lose it.
