YES YES YES.  Emphatically YES.  Love is bittersweet.  It can hurt like hell but it can also be like touching the hand of God.  To never experience either would be missing out on an important aspect of life.  To love and be loved is the greatest happiness.  Not my quote but one I believe in totally.  Love is worth all the pain, raw emotions, sensations, and lessons.

Just because you handled the 2nd loss more easily doesn't mean you loved them less. It's because you knew what to expect. There are always ups and downs with love. If it were all an even road it would become boring. And when you find the right love, where you both work at making the relationship work, the love will grow stronger. Don't give up hope.

I don't think there is. You can only be content. Once you get what you want, you add more to the list. You will always feel something is being neglected and at times unhappy. As for true love, I don't believe so. I think you have to build love.

The spelling of course...!!! (just kidding...) Well, life requires practicality and sometimes forgets the emotions.It often use the brain rather than the heart.Love, on the other hand,forgets to be practical.It gives much concern with the feelings of the heart over the brain.. But i think it is healthier to live a LIFE full of LOVE... after all, you go both ways...

Any human with the capacity to love gets attached pretty easily. There's nothing wrong with that either. Yes, we do have to separate ourselves sometimes and try not to get too attached to some things or people (like puppies you're going to sell or give away) and it can be tough sometimes, but ya know what? Thank God that you are able to love because those that cannot love lose so much. I'm sure you've heard the "tis better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" quote, (may not be exact, but you get it), well, never was a truer word spoken. When you love, love with your whole heart, never half-way. God bless. =)

It's always hard losing a love, whither they are still alive or dead. As long as you hold that someone in your heart you will love them till the end of your time. Does that mean you will never love someone else as much, you probably will, and they will be in your heart as well.

I would rather be loved and forgotten.  Love is the ultimate. It would be terrible to be feared like Hitler and always remembered.

No. The more we love someone the more our expectations grow and hence the gap between expectation and reality always remains. \nIf our reaction to love is related to our expectation then comparision is meaningless and become more of mathematics for e.g Lets convert love to numbers to understand this better\n\nSuppose u get a small amount of love (say 20) from someone whom u dont have any expectations ( say 0) the love has an intensity of 20. On the other hand u get large amount of love (say 80) but ur expectations are high (say 70) then this love appears much lesser than the first one. Thats why we need to remove the factor of expectations to experience love in its true glory.\n\nLove is an absolute expression, it cannot be judged on factors like expectations, time, intensity etc. It has to be enjoyed, devoured and felt like the raindrops on our soul.

Well, to be honest, neither one of them sounds convencing. Having many people love you seems a bit selfish and never loving anyone shouldn't be an option. One way you can find a happy medium with this is to actually love people; and this doesn't mean having sex either because love and sex are two different things. If you love people you won't have to scale from people loving you to never loving anyone. But your question seems like you're saying that people should give you love or else you're not gonna give it. It shouldn't be like that because then it wasn't love to began with.

Love and pain come hand in hand. You can't avoid it. Allow yourself to fall, it's the whole point of "falling" in love. They will catch you if they love you in return. It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. It's the only way to live. Push your fear aside and give it your all.

No, if you are truly in love with someone, in my opinion, there is no turning back, no taking it back. The only thing is when you're hurt emotionally  due to indifference or lack of communication, you become hard. Your attitude changes when you can't get a response in some way. Neglect is one of the worse emotional abuse crimes there is. What really kills is the love you still have in your heart, but it isn't being returned. Kind of makes everything all futile and lonely...........good luck.........

Yes of course. Why would you ever want to have sex with someone you didn't love? I have loved every woman I have ever been with. I think love without sex is much much better then sex without love. Hope you find what you are looking for either way.

well sugar, if it is meant to be, it will  be. all u can do is be yourself and live life for u not nobody else. to love is to let go, and if it is meant to be, that particular love will find it way back to you. don't miss out on life waiting for somebody to love u. love yourself first.

Yes I do, I feel that it is better to have loved once, than to have never loved at all.Even though the man I love knows that I love him, and doesn't talk to me, I would've rather loved him, than have never have loved him at all, because without him, I couldn't breathe.
