why do people risk being hurt by falling in love?

hi.. there's a cliche on this "better love than not knowing love at all..." sometimes, i wonder...hahaha.. guess it is predestined before time... i mean.. it's the most common thing that people are after and it's like a big risk but we still love... try as we may to run from it...sometimes, it just appears out of nowhere... hahaha. but im no authority on love...got my heart stomped...hahaha... good day

Recently, it happened like this, a boy (18) studying for Engineering College fell in love with a school teacher(22)and they were hand in hand walked through Railway line and smashed by the train. Loving is a common thing but we have to see all angles, otherwise more problems for us & parents.

well i guess because even though getting your heart broken is the worst in the worl, falling in love is the greatest thing in the world...people are hopeful and optimistic that inspite of all their failures they will find their true soulmate and that they ll spend the rest of their lives together...

hello spoiled311,i think it's nature for everyone in the world to find his beloved spouse even if it'll be hurting.actually love is really spectacular,but at the same time it cost one's effort to cultivate.after one's sincerity,diligent effort,one can ultimatedly find his/her soulmate.after getting the other half,one should still sacrafice,compromise in their daily life.admittedly it may be really long and arduous journey.but it's sweet and joyful,isnt it?

Well, more than the hurting that love gives, there is so much to it. I have always heard from men that they are so happy to be in a relationship and that they are enjoying it thoroughly. Hurting happens only because of small misunderstandings which can be easily cooled down. All this is done by a man because love is such a great feeling, and once into it, none will never like it.

I think that the happiness we have when we love it worth it... maybe sounds weird, but what it is the point of being here if you are afraid that what can happen? if you do not try you wont know... If we do not have sad moments or bad moments how can we enjoy the good and happy moments? God made everything perfect... so do not be afraid of Love... Enjoy it!

well, people risk when they love someone.. we choose to love co'z if we love we forget that everytime we fall for someone we get hurt when they go away.

It is like asking the question as "Why do we have to live, and dream, for all we know, we will all die?, Worst, we never know when." Ever since, that is a gamble we have to play. There is no assurance that we will wake up in the morning so why should we have to iron the clothes for tomorrow? Why do we need to plan for the next week, or think about the college plan of our kids. But because we are hoping that we would have the chance to survive... then we try. It is the same as in love. Though there is no assurance that you will be happy, you still give it a try. Because there are some who find their true love. We know how it feels to be in love, we know how it feels to be left alone, we know what it takes. Who knows if we are lucky just like them. Though for some who fails, at least they give it a try and they know that they have use the chances. There will be no regrets for things not being done. And for every thing that we will experience, for every failure that we will experience, we will gain from it by learning. I know I am strong enough to face every trial that life would give. And I will keep on believing. Right now, I believe that I have found the right one for me. But if in the case that I will fail, then I know God would have a better plan for me. Just keep on making the most out of life. You will never go wrong being at your best.

I think because basically, love is worth it. Love is worth the risk. I'm not saying that everybody's worth the risk, but LOVE is worth the risk. 'Coz by loving, we learn more about ourselves, as well. Even though the relationship is a mess, we still LEARN more things about ourselves than if we never take the risk. Plus I believe in this adage "It's better to have loved then be broken-hearted than not having loved at all." Plus when you meet someone who's truly worth the risk, then your joy's doubled. ;-D

Nice question.. Falling in-love is really part in everyone's lives. When we love, attached with it is happiness and heartaches. Life is not a bed of roses. And we will never learn and grow smarter and more mature if we don't feel any pain or heartaches. Remember what old folks say.. that experiences are our best teachers. These experiences mold us to be a better person in each day of our existence.

it's because loving somebody is splendid. it really worth taking the risk of being hurt, we are all born to love.

we choose to love because all the pain, all the risks are worth it.
