Heartbreak is always hard to go through, as many people become depressed and even contemplate suicide. Those who never have loved do not have to deal with these nonsensical issues. You can take this question in a variety of ways. I think that if someone has heartbreak they will be stronger and will learn a lot and will be more wary in the future. At this point in time I have had my heartbroken with a break up but time has mended my broken heart. Time is the ultimate healer of everything. =) So, which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a heartbreak or to have never loved before?

We always get to kiss a new frog before we find our prince. loving someone and having that someone love you back is never an assurance that the relationship will last forever. As much as we want to make a relationship work, we cannot deny the fact that some things change. We just have to be thankful for things and people while they last, because they'll make us appreciate the things and people we will still meet in the future. :D

nice. i liked that movie.. most of the time, the fear of getting hurt gets in the way of love. But getting hurt sometimes i what makes loving really mysterious. i myself have met a few frogs, though i hoped, at that time, i hoped they were the one. But if they were, then i wouldn't be with the prince that's meant for me.. :D

I guess you finally kissed a frog and he turned into your prince. =) I'm glad you finally found one out of all the frogs who just remained frogs. Love really is mysterious. The good times and the bad times. It's all on how you take it. Hopefully the good outweighs the bad. =)

One day down the road I hope we both find our royal prince and princess. =) Unfortunately nothing does last forever, even love often dwindles and becomes sour with time. Yes, we cannot take advantage of people and we should cherish them while they're with us. Yesterday is history. "Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why they call it the present." -Master Ugway (Kung Fu Panda) =)

There is a saying that "I would rather love and lost that never have loved at all" and to some extent this is true. You will never be able to see the true meaning of life until you have truly loved someone. In this life there are no guarantees. no mater what decision you take there are still chance that you will get hurt. Personally I will follow my heart and love truly if I fail so what at least I have loved truly and lived life to the fullest.

That is okay, I have done double posts before as well, when I think my post doesn't go through. Yup, I'm glad we both agree that it is best to experience both the pleasures and pain of love, than to have never loved before. At least the memories of the love will still be with the person. Memories of the good and loving times. =)

i better love and have lost than never love at all. To experience love is part of our lives if we don't know how to love then we are not also deserving to be love. Love is the reason why life still existing, why communication is still going why we are still alive today and replying this discussion for God's love us so much he gave us air to breath.

Some time ago I watched a talkshow and one of the people said that he had never had a girlfriend and that he never wanted to find one, because he didn't want to go through the pain of losing that person. I don't agree with him, he might be able to protect himself from pain that way, but he also loses out on so many positive things. I have been through a very painful break-up, and when it happened I had thoughts like: "I wish I had never met him, then I wouldn't be going through this pain" but now is has been a while, and the relationship that I have today is better than the relationship I had before. I know that I if had the chance to choose between love and pain and no love and no pain, I would choose to experience true love.

I would have to choose true love even though I knew that heartbreak would come. The alternative is not worth facing. To have never loved before would be tragic. Everyone deserves to have love in their lives.

Everyone does deserve to have love in their lives at one point in time. Even though there is going to be a hard heartbreak, at least the person was still able to experience true love.

If I managed to mend my broken heart and have learned something from the experience I may just return to look for true love again but with the prospect of not another heartbreak. It's exciting, interesting and it thrills to be in love again despite the initial heartbreak. One would never have known the beauty of true love or the agony of a heartbreak if one had never loved before.

Loving someone is a very beautiful thing to happen to anybody. It's a wonderful feelings that will enveloped your heart and mind with mystical nature. I will choose to love and feel the heartbreak than not to love at all. I been heartbroken before and I continue to fall in love all over again. A person is weak if they refuse to fall in love because they were afraid to feel pain and betrayal. When somebody leaves you somebody will replace that place. If that particular person hurt you other person will heal your heart. Don't be afraid to love. It's worth the risk.

There is a saying that it's better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all and to some extent it is true. You will never be able to see the full meaning of life unless you have truly loved. In this world there are no guarantee whatever decision you make you are bound to get hurt but there is also a great possibility that you will end up happy either way we have to take a risk in love and to live life to the fullest.
