Personally, I think its better 2 have loved and lost. This being because U have experienced the joy love brings and the loss can only serve 2 make U a stronger person in dealing with loss. However, if U have never loved than U wouldnt suffer the pain of loss. what do U guys think?

Yep. Love is great, and loss is great, 'cause they are both the sort of intense emotions that remind you that you don't just exist, you're ALIVE.

But to answer the question, I think it's better to have
loved and lost. It puts things into perspective.

Pfffttt!

To love and then lose, doesn't mean to just lose, to love is just to love, if it is just to love.

The person that helped me to love, isn't in my life now. It was through him that I learnt what giving meant. It was through him that I can repeat the experience again with other people and not in a 'romantic' light.

The sadness I feel and the loss of not being able to give to him anymore is there too. It is part, not all of the whole experience of the giving.

I think what is really grieved for, is the pain of not being in contact with the part of myself that is love in action. Like missing a lover that I've been apart from for a lot of time, it is actually my own experience of being open and loving that causes me pain to be apart from.

And it makes listening to "Smack my bitch up" by The Prodigy so much more satisfying

i've loved...and i've lost. it hurts.

still trying to decide if it was worth it. still hurting.

Best to have loved and never lost, Just stopped loving.
If only i could...

I've loved and lost, and yes, it does hurt.

It was only my pet, Flossy, that I lost, but the pain hurts just the same.

Having said that, the lamb chops were fantastic!

I would prefer to have never lost at all! :LOL:
Well, I would say I rather HAVE NOT LOVED, but it's a little to late for that. Did that sound bitter? yes? GOOD!

Lost loves hurt too much. It isn't worth the pain. There was a time when I thought it was. I was wrong.

I hate the lost part.

True.

Love goes toward Love,
like schoolboys from their books,
but Love from Love,
towards school with heavy looks.

Definately "loved & lost!" Time does heal, and while U R loving, it's sooo nice. Too nice to miss out on the odyssey because of fear of loss or pain. Its a risk, but so is everything. If u let fear override U, U might as well live in a bubble or not at all.

I say not to fall in love is preventive action against suffering a brokenheart Kinda like abstenince from sexual relations is the best way to prevent getting a std.

You have to weigh it out and see if the rewards are worth the risk.

Personally I have one night stands with strangers i meet in seedy places, i also don't use any type of protection. I must say it's well worth the risk until you go to the doctor and he shoves a cotton swab down your uretha then you have a lot of regrets

i vote for loved and lost

cos then you have an excuse to mope and listen to The Smiths for a month!
