Do you agree with this saying?

The way to feel happiness is to feel sadness first. You can never say something tastes good if you have no idea what a bad taste is. That's how life is.

Hi doran Mine was an arranged marriage, i didn't had any pre-marital relationship, so honestly speaking i cant say much on your discussion.. Thanks for sharing your experience in life. Cheers. Professor. .

Not me I want the love no matter the cost. Once the pain fades you have the wonderful memories of love which you would not have if you had skipped that part of the relationship.

Hello, For me it's a YES. Why?,becoz,it is better to have loved and lost at least in the end i will not end up regretting for things that i never done. It is worth trying for,rather than blaming myself for the rest of my life thinking why i didn't try and fight for it. Losing someone we loved,is not to regret but maybe a lesson to learn and a memory to be cherished forever. Some people might not agree with me,it is their right to think what is right for them. But for me,it's great to be loved and give loved. Have a good day always

I know that this saying has been said a few times, and that it should be true. But personally, I have a hard time holding this saying true. It might be great at the moment that you are in love, but what about the moment when all is lost? I'm not sure if all the pain is really worth it. Just sayin'.

i don't agree on that saying!.it is normal to lost our love one.cos there is no such thing that is permanent in these world.I cant imagine life without "love".If other people say that they rather stay alone so that they would never lose of love....but i know that they fell love and they just ignore it...

Well I might disagree someday because I know that losing someone you love is very painful and weather its a brake up or passing. But right now I agree that its better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. here's why I agree as of right now I have never been in love nor have I had someone be in love with me yet, so it would be nice to know what it feels like to be in love for once. sure I have lots of loving family but I have not fallon in love in the romantic sense meaning with a boyfriend I guess I'm just a late bloomer as they say. I know that being in love isent always sunshine and daisy's, I learned through viewing friends and family I've seen that love isent easy but I think everyone should know what it feels like to fall in love at least once in there life, and I can only hope that when I fall in love the relationship last forever but if not I'll thank god for bringing love into my life even if its only for a brief moment in time, because I'd rather have felt love, meaning the love one feels when there in a relationship then never having felt it at all. but ask me agin in a few years hahaha I might not feel so enthusiastic about love then.

I feel like to agree with saying because to have love and lost it is better than to not experienced at all. How wonderful is the feeling of being inlove and I cannot express the emotions same as like when our heart is broken by the love. And after it happened to us this is the time we say that it is better not to been in love again. Nice to feel the love.

dear dora, i'd say they are missing a lot of the many wonderful things just by being in love. just have to be adventurous when it comes to loving because there is no guarantee for anything that will happen. but in loving, you sure will have all the memories that you can lean back on when you get older. ann

I agree that it is better to have loved and lost than to never love at all. Not having love in your life can leave you with an emptiness that can never be filled. Even if we have to face heartbreak with love, it will have been worth the risk.

I don't agree. If you loved and lost in the end. You should not regret it. Lost in love is something that makes us a better human being. We can learn alot from that experience.

yes i do think its true. its better to give your all than regret all your life for something you have not done. keep loving!

It is better to have loved and lost because nothing compares with the feeling that you have during this time.

I am a firm believer that it is better to have loved and lost. Loss hurts but it is part of life. The times I have loved there have been so many things that I have learned and experienced and ways that I have grown as part of that experience that may never have come to me otherwise. Everything has a season and a reason. If there is love and loss it was meant to be. It's important to look for the jewels and not get stuck in the loss.

yeah. i would agree with this. It makes you feel when you love, it brings out the best (or worst) in you. but i would still say it is so much better to know how love felt than not have an idea about it.

Well, I think I agree with it. At least we were able to experience love better than never experiencing it in the first place. Plus, that experience could be used to search for another love. By losing something we learn to understand the nature, and perhaps we can use that knowledge so we will not lose again.

Yes!I do agree with this saying. I think everyone of us felt love, I mean genuine love at one point in our lives though not often ended up in a relationship but at least the care, thoughtfulness and attention are present. I mean we can love a person without being in a relationship and we should not afraid to fell love because it is something very precious. Personally, I fell in love about three times in my life though all of these did not end up in a relationship, I am just glad that at one point I displayed care, attention and thoughtfulness to them and when I try to look back, I have no regrets, those are part of good memories anyway, I am thankful because the rejection and humiliation I suffered through these failed love made me a better and mature person, I see things differently now and more wise in handling my emotion. My wisdom increases also. So the saying is really really true.

How can we know that we would rather be alone if we have never loved... Although it is so painful at least I have experienced it as love is so wonderful and the memories that with them. I can recall at times that I have said to myself at times of having lost a love that I rather be alone than a life of havoc. Although this is true, the love that I felt had meaning to me. So therefore, I would rather have lost a love, than never experienced the love.

The assumption that it is better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all assumes that the pain associated with lost love is not greater than the pain of having never loved at all. I don't think this will be true for all individuals as each person's experience is different. One person may not care about never experiencing love but this same person may be hurt severely if they ever have to deal with lost when encountering love for the first time. For this person, the assumption that "it is better to have loved and lost to have never loved at all" does not hold true. This is something that will vary from person to person.
