Is Love worth the Pain ?

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

How true is this?
Generally most men cannot feel deeply enough I think.
But it's great to feel the intensity of love at least once.


Often such intense love is between a man and a woman. In certain cases it can be deep love of a friend or family member.
To love without holding anything back such that we lose ourselves in the love is truly remarkable.

If I had my way then i would never love anyone for the fear of loosing them...but then its just impossible not to love anyone...I loved my Dad so much and then I lost him...I always have this fear inside of me of loosing my loved ones...So if I had to choose...I would choose not to love anyone but thats not possible...there are so many people who I love more than my life itself...

Yes physical presense makes a huge diff.
Love of parents and vice versa are often based on unselfish terms.
I have never really loved deeply enough and I guess I have the belief that nothing in the universe is ever lost. Friends whom I have lost sometimes drop by in my dreams and they are only a thought away. Still I try not to disturb them. All this could be pure laziness to love and just a lame excuse. But I make it a point to always keep in touch when they are alive.
But to move ahead to the next level I believe we must have the capacity to really love for the sake of love.

Love just comes to you...you just cannot control loving some people, heck, I love animals and material things too...it caused me so much stress when my dog died :( I miss my "house" if I stay away for a few days :(

Is it worth all the pain? well, loving someone is not under yor control...so, I guess :)

Yes sometimes it is beyond our control, love and hate. Could it be karma and destiny?

Love's like lethal, and I amendogenouslycynical but maybe all the masochism is worth a trial or something. Point is, you can't really get away with emotion, so somewhere down the line, it is meant to happen. However, everybody has different theories of love and especially love, quite amusing, if I may say so.

Yep emotions are our life breath. Hearts can be hardened by sufferings but humans need company and love to survive.
Love in a family is generally expected.
Love between a man and a woman is the question. It can be very powerful and if they are a right fit then it is "till death do us part".
But even if things do not work out is it not good to have really loved?

But if marriages are arranged or fixed then it is a big gamble unless both parties have a say.

I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.

Love is like autoeroticasphyxiation. It is painfully suffocating, but people are into it anyways.

Ah sounds like a suicide mission😆

I generally feel high in slowly breathing in, somehow fresh air seem to awaken certain subtle nerves.
There is a certain something that we feel when our eyes are closed and we simply let go of the mental process and perhaps drift in another world.
