Better to have loved and lost?

hi everybody .
in my idea live without love does not have mean,even if we know that we maY lost it ,i think we should test our chance.

YES, it is better to have loved.
Whether it be a mother, father, son, daughter, or significant other.
When you love you become more then one, and you feel the greats joys. Being just one and feeling isolated can have awful effects on you and society.
So, learn to LOVE.

I think that It’s better never to have loved at all,because If you loved then lost you will remember your loved every time without any profit ,then you will waste your time and keep sad.

It is definitely better to have loved despite of the fact that there may be some day you lost it. Believe me, there is nothing as terrible as living without loving some ones and being loved by some ones. you may have much money and have a luxury meal but I bet that you will feel much happier to have a normal meal with simple dishes with the person you love. have love and experience every level of emotion of being love even the sadness of losing it will robust your soul.

ever heard of “love makes the world go round.”?
So,it’s certainly better to have loved and lost than to feel nothing at all in our life.
Love doesn’t mean only happiness ,love can cause pain and suffering ,too. However, when you fall in love, the world is different .

Love is beautiful even if sometimes it hurts, we cant’choose to not fall in love with someone, we only can choose the way we love him or her, how we love them

You all talking about love and be loved. But is anyone know exactly ‘What is Love?’.

Love brings out the best in people, it broadens your horizons and it makes you control your ego for the sake of another person, it makes you feel both vulnerable and protected. I’m really sorry for people who don’t know what it is - you can convince yourself that you’re better off alone, but I doubt so.

Hi all,
ofcourse we need to have love. Love will bring you many things. It will warm you up when you alone. and It will warm others up also. What do you think if we don’t have love? What will be happen when we live in a world without love?. Yeah, if we have no love, the world is very cold and that’s solitary life. I don’t like living alone. And everyones cannot live alone also. I believe that there are no one lives alone. Anyway, I hope the love will bring you health,happiness…

I think if you never fall in love ,it will be better .
Because if you taste these feelings once ,it’ll be very hard to forget it or forget its beauty.
Never fall in love may be means a boring life but boring life is defenitely better than a painful life .

it’s better to never loved
6th March 2012 at 1:56 am
It’s better to love or you’ll get together with your lover for ever.
6th March 2012 at 10:56 am
I don’t know exactly what love is but i think it’s great power and life without love would be meaningless

What do YOU think? Is it better to have loved and lost? Or is it better never to have loved at all?
Well! this question is tough one, in my own opinion i choose to have loved and lost. Why? because if your in love you get excited to see her or him you think of the clock is never stop ticking and all of your attention is for her only. If you lost her or him that is the hardest part for you, you can’t stop thinking about her, asking your self that what i have done, did i do wrong, these is the question in my mind.Because of this experience i learned from it, the next time you got in love be sure that you love each other.

The poet always focus on emotion points.so on side of the poet, he does not care for love or lost indeed, he just care about the emotional feeling.That’s, lost love would be the first than any other, which can be tasted by your hearts including cherish memery, childish manner,stupid swear, sweet story or unforgetable hurts in heart………
whatever out of role of poet , who want lost? or lost in love? Amazing experience with love around and enjoy it!
17th March 2012 at 10:33 am
It’s better to have loved but I will be really gutted if it lost!
however I have my love(my husband):D
25th March 2012 at 4:24 am
In my opinion, living without love can not be imagined. When we were born, all kinds of love embraced us which come from our parents, our teachers and other relatives. We learned how to love when we are growing.
25th March 2012 at 5:49 pm
it is said that the world is beacause of love so it doesn’t matter to love or not love is a feeling and we can feel it in any age of our life there are various forms of love it is not bonded in one relation it can be in form of mother, son, dauther , husband, wife, girlfriend, boy freind and so on so in my view there is no lose in love we always learn something from love in any way

if we could find true love,then we can love and live with each other happily ever after,althogh true love is rare…..
19th April 2012 at 7:50 am

I think everyday we should give love , it’s normally that every love has a piece’s bad … I wish u all the best in love with more lesslost …
4th May 2012 at 8:02 am
Dear sami,
I agree with you “everyday we should give love”.
But, does anyone know the meaning of love?
and what kind of love are you mentioning to?
7th May 2012 at 2:43 am
Of course we need to have loved , however living will be meaningless without love, can you imagine to live without love, how the woRld would be? Loving someone doesn’t mean that we have to be forever, and I think love and lost is normal in real life, because God send us the wrong person before we meet the right one, and each experience teach us so many things in life. Everyone need love and need to be loved and loving someone, without it I think people are senseless… have no feeling to others, how can???
11th May 2012 at 12:04 pm
Mr. Josef, I dont have comment about it
14th May 2012 at 3:33 am
I think it better to have a love because this experience give the oportunity to learn about the love and the love is part of the live and the people have to live with these feeling along the live if sometimes you lost love, it is important remember the things that seeem happy in the convivence with the people you love ( brothes, mother, father, sons, husband).
