Hmm...tough question...I'm still thinking...and my response is oscillating...lets see where it gets settled...
I would go for the first option as it would give a life-time experience, an eye-opening one, I would get to know the reality of the heavenly feeling called love, I would get to see the world around me differently...
But from a rational point of view, why suffer so much pain when I can do without it? People say losing your beloved is very traumatic...so why not live without loving, hence not experiencing that pain? I'm not a masochist after all...:| So why not live an ignorant[of love] but a comfortable life?
Leaving it undecided! Waiting for the response of the other people...:)
Re: Your thoughts

Re: Your thoughts
sucks both ways.
Re: Your thoughts
I quite agree that it sucks both ways. But for sure, I agree that 'tis better to have loved and lost. The first thing that comes to my mind is my Dad. I lost him in January. He was my hero, everything that a REAL man should be - and more. My life was so enriched that he was MY dad. If I'd never known him, my life would be much poorer for that. All you need to think about is your parents I think...and then comes the understanding of that statement. It does not have to be about romantic love or love between husband and wife. Although that is something to consider too. If i had never met my hubby, my prince, the father of my 3 boys...well I guess I'd probably be either in the navy or still on wall street...kinda challenging, kinda fulfilling but NOTHING compared to being a mom of 3 beautiful boyz and the wife of the best man on the planet :) So my life with him is SO blessed, I am SO blessed to have him in my life - whether it lasts another day or another 30 decades.
Re: Your thoughts
mamaof3....with all this love u have from ur hubby and kids....if u knew that one day it would all be lost (ie. the relationship breaks down and u feeling that hurt and pain..).would you still go through with it in the first place?
Re: Your thoughts
absolutely yes for sure. I have my boyz, I have my hubby and even if he for some reason turned into a monster overnite, I still have had the most beautiful, best years of my life with him. AND he's given me our boyz. WELL worth it no matter what tomorrow may bring.
Re: Your thoughts
YES all the way,
You do not loose when you Love Somebody!
Re: Your thoughts
hmm..interesting mamaof3....
what about for the pple that DID lose in love....and by losing i mean a broken relationship between a guy and a girl.....would u go back and do it again, knowing that in the end, the relationship wouldnt work out?
Re: Your thoughts
I cant say for sure but yes I guess I would...I mean I did have a previous marriage, married way too young with my rose colored glasses on and no one could tell me it was a bad idea....I think given my age and my frame of mind at the time, I'd make the same mistake again. Did i learn from it? For sure. And the scars have turned into more of a life lesson than a regret. So in that sense, I;d have to say still - better to love and lose. I dont think that was the heart of the question tho....I think you're asking more like what if I found out that my prince of a hubby was more like a monster, had a wife or 3 that I didnt know about hidden in different corners of the world or something along those lines? In that case, for sure I'd be one hurtin gal. But I still had the best years of my life and the most beautiful boyz...yeah, hands down I'd do it again.
Re: Your thoughts
i agree…
Re: Your thoughts
i would rather have never loved then to lose my love.....
because if i never loved then i wouldnt know what it was like or what it felt like to be in love. To lose your love....you'll miss it...you'll remember it....so many memories..and you'll want that feeling back again.....and if you do get that feeling back with someone else...you may very well end up finding yourself comparing.

I agree with Mama...if i had to choose between the lesser of the evils, it would have to be loved than never loved. you learn so much through the relationship. any kind...between a guy and a girl or between friends or whatever. life lessons. and then you can transfer those lessons on to a different chapter in life. If the situation is between a guy and a girl, then atlease you know what is feels like to fall in love, and when you feel things go sour. so the next time a good thing comes in your life, you don't spend forever agonizing over it whether it's love or not, and since you know that at this point in the ralstionship things are going to go downhill, you can work on it.
as for going back to an old relationship, even after you know it won't work out, never. why put yourself through that torture again? the idea is good, no doubt, but but if you know you're going to return to the same point in life again, and you know you're going to be miserable again, why do it again?

Re: Your thoughts
love is just a four-lettered word.... a poetic expression of extreme feelings of attraction, infatuation or obsession. at da end of da day, it boils down to how we manage the relationship, romantic or otherwise.
i have loved and lost in my life before but that didnt stop me frm loving again.
if i have neva loved, i dun think i could have been the person i am today.
true love in my honest opinion is a mother's love. the rest is hard-work, we make emotional and time investments in hope of getting back some love :D

Its not directed to me but I could give you the answer as I am actually going thru this.
Thru all the hurt and pain of initially trying to be together and now falling away from each other...I still say **better to have loved and lost **otherwise I would have always wondered.
Yup call me a fool or whatever, but I dont regret the love we felt. Nope I would never want to go thru all this again with anyone else. I am satisfied I had my chance at love. So it did not work out...well I'll take the sweet memories and get on with life.
Re: Your thoughts
The way I look at it is that love adds color to your world. Enriches you in so many ways. Without love, the world is black, white and shades of grey. No color. And in order to understand happiness, you need to also understand sadness. Live life to the fullest I say. Otherwise, you doom yourself to a blah colorless life. For what? To spare yourself the possibility of sadness? How much you miss out on in your life if you live it that way!
Re: Your thoughts
It is wrong to suggest that love is lost. Even if you loose someone, love for them is forever. People show regret because the hope of love is never fulfilled.
