Better to have LOVED and lost than...

[IAM]

Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? In most cases I think it is better to have loved and lost. The two exceptions are 1: loose of a loved one and not knowing what happened; abduction situation 2: Being exceptionally betrayed by someone; like an ex-wife.

Insufficient poll options.

I remember posing this question a long time ago. Don't remember whether it was here, the other forum I go to, or both.

In any case, I think it is NOT better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Watch "The Dark Knight" (the one with Heath Ledger) to see what I mean.

Only if she's hot.

No-one will really know will they. Unless they chronicle their life to the minutest detail then suffer Amnesia.

Love tastes like chicken.

Now that I think about it, this is absolutely the case.

It's better not to love...

Man I've gotten over more heartbreaks than you've had heartbreaks. Deal

I have never loved nor lost.

I dunno, if you think about the good days, after a while they will overcome the pain of having lost (or you could go psycho and start stalking her and killing every man she talks too).

If one intends to love, then you also have to accept the posibility that you might lose (in many different ways) wich ofcourse will result in pain. To go trough life and never loving would be a crappy life IMO.

Better to have loved and lost.

Or to put it another way:

Absolutely better to have loved and lost than never loved.

When judging past actions, its always imperative to remember that we would not be who and where we are not had the past not unfolded as it did. Regrets included.

It's hard to vote on, not having gone thru the full spectrum of human losses.

I think 99% of the time it's better to have loved & lost. The 1% perhaps being the loss of a child.

definetly to have loved... love is the supreme human feeling.

It is better to avoid clichés, because they contain information of no practical value. I have loved and lost and I don't feel it's improved me in any way. It's more accurate to say that it is nearly impossible to avoid loss if one is ever in love, as it necessarily involves some level of risk to invest that much emotion.

More than likely yes it is better to have loved and loss, except the only relationship I've been in in which I "loved" her I would rather forget.

Love is putting the needs and wants of others ahead of your own. When that stops, it is no longer love.

We would not be wise and happy people if we had loved and lost? Therefore it is better not to love?

Love tastes like chicken.

Not tuna?

I'd rather not to have loved at all. I'd rather not be at the mercy of my emotions.
