To know love or to have not known it at all.

Being in love may be a very nice warm feeling to have, most especially if a couple stays together forever. But, it just gives you that horrible feeling when you break up. I actually miss the moment when I didn't know love existed (apart from the love of my parents and relatives/friends), it's light when you know you can just do about anything without yearning for someone, ain't it? So, if you were to go back in time or had the choice.. With all the hurts and all. Would you have chosen not to have known love at all? Why, or why not?

I once heard a poem about this topic, and the words were something like this: "The person who has lost the love of their life is poor, but the person who has never loved another is even more poor" I agree with those words. My ex-boyfriend and I were together for almost 6 years and when he broke up with me, it was very, very hard to get through that situation. I thought that I was never going to get happy again, but the truth is I am lot more happy today than I was when we were still together. If I don't love another person I can protect myself against the pain, but at the same time I would miss out on so many wonderful things, and I prefer to know love even though it can be very painful when it ends.

Hmmm... 6years and still you weren't with the one for you. Are you willing to spend another six years without knowing if you'd separate with that new person once again?

Sometimes I just feel it's no longer worth loving if you've given your heart to someone for a long time only to find out in the end that you're not meant to be. I mean, why do we need to spend those time with someone not right for us? Anyway, I am still coping and up to my neck in confusion after my 5year relationship has gone through a heavy bump. But I'm hopeful that things would be looking up soon and that I won't need to start all over again. But if I have to, well, I guess that's another chapter. Though I'm not sure if I would ever want to go through that again.

I don't regret spending 6 years with my ex-boyfriend, it didn't last, but I have learned something from the experience, and in the beginning we were very happy together. When he broke up with me my it was very painful and I had thoughts like: "I am going to stay away from men in the future, so that I don't have to go through the same kind of pain again" but after a while I felt ready for a new relationship, and I started dating again. I hope that my new relationship is going to last, and I am willing to take the chance.

I say love it's a gift to know what is the happiness and the pain inside... And also it's gift so that we could stay exist in this world... Sometimes or many, love does hurts somebodies and blind somebodies ... That's the risk in of love i guess...

In everything we do, there will be risks. Loving has risks as well, the more you love the more risk you are opening your heart to. It's just sad that there are people who love so truly only to be cheated up or taken forgranted. But, we must know that it doesn't always happen and there should be hope that our love could be reciprocated when we find the right one for us.

Hi laydee!^^ It is really horrible when you and your partner break up. It is painful and you feel like your chest will burst and your heart will be torn apart. But even with this kind of feeling, I still would have chosen to know love. It's a good feeling to be in love. You feel happy and you're always in a good mood. You're always blooming so they say. Even with the little things, like just seeing him, makes you happy already. Just hearing his name brings a smile in your face. You face the world positively because with love, everything seems possible and you feel like you can take anything the world will hurl at you. With love there is hope. No matter how cheesy that sounds. ^^;; I think it is worth to experience those sad painful feelings when you have experienced these beautiful feelings. We would never be able to appreciate those beautiful feelings if we have not experienced these painful feelings.

I fully understand what you mean, indeed it's the greatest feeling when you're in love. I just hope that we don't have to go through these things again because it is really painful to the point of feeling that it's all not worth it. However, I really wish this one is real.

Hi there Laydee! You're right. Being in love is not like laying on a bed of roses. There are bumps along the road and sometimes, when you and your partner were not able to work it out, you will end up parting ways. The thing is that, we should learn from our experiences. These things prepare us for the real thing. They will make us stronger and would teach us to value our loved ones more. Of course, there were also times that you will feel devastated and would wish that you have not learn to love but life is not about not getting hurt but getting hurt but gaining more in the process. You should be wiser, stronger and you could gain wisdom too. I do not regret knowing love.

i believe we were born through the love of god and therefore it's our right to love others, selflessly even though our hearts our torn like a piece of paper.

Love is a beautiful thing! I have always known love as beautiful and perhaps I am so blessed to have not known pain when it comes to my relationship. I have not had any falling out, no conflict, or no hurt. I married my first and last boyfriend and our love is growing day by day for , In fact we even love each other more than before. So I think I will not stop loving and will do so over and over again.

You are lucky to not have had problems with the relationship and I hope and pray that happiness would last forever. It's rare for relationships to be that smooth as yours and be always reminded to not forget to appreciate your husband for the love.

if we chose not to know love at all, we wouldnt know how sweet love can be...or how sour it is. the experience we got is what makes us think about love. dont target your achievement by what other says, but when you achieve it, you feel like...."this is what i've been looking for" thing like that

Yeah, indeed we don't now what we're missing until we feel how it feels like. It's amazing how love changes a person from inside out. I can't explain the feeling, nor can I properly describe the changes love has done to me, but I know that I wasn't the same as compared the time when I haven't fallen in love.

my vote is to know love, i dont want to be the one who has never and dont like to fall inlove. i lost at love before and took a rest from all of it.... but of course willing to try again. now i am married to my wife who is perfectly fit for me. love is a wonderful feeling and it makes us feel alive. so no matter how hurt i were with the past love i had i am willing to take a chance and see what i found.... a person that is perfectly fit for me

Hello laydee, I have fallen in love but never to the level that i had to do everything based on what i feel. that's really hard but despite that i feel for them i never got to feel the pain. although i have felt humiliation but never despair in a level where i would kill myself for it. but still that has happened to you and going back in time won't make any differnce because you already know what love is.

Our lives can not be enriched without ever knowing love. If you do not have love presently in your life, you surely had love in ithe past that was meaningful. Any measure of love is worth the cost.

Hey Laydee, I agree with your each word. But above all, dear Love happens automatically, Without any intimation. We never know it is happening.
