Is It Better To Have Loved, And Lost? Than To Have Never Loved At All?

Surely you mean 'Better to have loved, and lost, than to never have loved at all?'

In which case, I'm torn on the issue. On one hand, having someone great is an amazing experience. On the other, being single can be great. Life is what you make it, no matter who you're f*cking.

In my opinion, the reason for life is to live, to experience, to love, to hate, to win, to lose, to have something to look back on at the end of your life and think "I have lived".

So yeah, I'd say it's better to love and lose it. Of course, there are iffy lines if you lose your love through death, because then the implication is that if you hadn't loved them they wouldn't have died but that's a completely different kettle of fish. In the non-death case, I'd definitely say it's better to love and lose it though, because no matter what happens later, there will come a time when you can look back on it as an experience, to have lived, and if there's one thing I fear in life, it's that I'll never live at all

to have loved and lost!!

experiences throughout your life make you the person that you are today and you are stronger for it.

So it's better imo to have loved and lost because you'll most likely get it again and even if you don't it builds character.

I think I would have to go for the 'loved and lost option'. Although ignorance is bliss!

i would follow the precept of James Joyce's The Dead

it's better to love greatly and perish rather than having a greying love

so I expect to die soon, after finding my troo love

It's kind of hard to say. Without being ever in love how do you know what you are missing?

Nothing could hurt more than never getting any hole. I've had my heart broken but I never thought 'Damn! I wish I never got any pussy!' That's crazy talk.

lol dude, it says love not pussy. You could go through life and bone 10,000 chicks and never really love any of them.

Maybe that's the best thing to do. Maybe it's just simple Human neurosis to think there's anything more to it.
