"Its Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"

[ThaWholigan]

I agree. Love is the ultimate test regarding loss - too many people fear loss and fear pain. Avoiding it makes it worse, as does resisting it. I know some are fragile, but generally I feel that experiencing the pain of loss in love is a defining point in our experience of life. It may come later for others. That's another story.......

What are your thoughts in general on this common phrase, do you think it's true?

 

I have thoughts on the subject, however I think it's a bit like asking "which hurts more: going through labor (childbirth) or getting kick in the balls?".

 

It's impossible to judge objectively...

I think it is true.

 

 

You live, you love, you learn.

If I hadn't of experienced love, I wouldn't be who or where I am now.

 

 

 

 

 

I firmly believe things are meant to happen the way they happen.
