Hello lotters. That is so true and when ever a person says they're too afraid to love because they have given their best and put their courage into it but when things go down and failed, that's when the heart gets tired, and depressed. then, there goes the fear of loving because you feel you might experience the same fate. but what about those who kept on loving, despite the fact that they don't get the best in return. i can say it's selfless, but they sure have guts to keep on doing it. some believed because GOD is love, it's true of course am a christian and i know it too. but the damn reality is that, it's scary to open up and love. whether be a family, partner, or a friend, or even a stranger for that matter. Sometimes I wonder, if we fear this much, what do we do to conquer it, we it it's called courage but does it need inspiration to do it? how do we awaken our WILL power with out too much attention on the Purpose or inspiration why we should do it. can we just do it? I sure find it very hard. what are your views? have a nice day. 6/7/11

hi LK, Love is everywhere huh! UUuhhhmm....share it with me LOL Well loving someone is always a risky one we don't have the assurance that the person we love is going to love us but for me it doesn't matter I love him and I did not asking him to love me in return if he does I will be happy then if not then be it I will forget him once I find another one who is more deserving with my love. (But I wish he can love me too......) Not all fingers are the same, we can have different fate too.....each individual always have a differences. happy mylotting

Hi sweetie. It takes more than courage to love someone. It's unbelievable how many people tend to play with others feelings and call it love. I mean really. If you want to play games, get a ball or something. A lot don't have the guts to show their true feelings and i find that disgusting. Love is complicated, good for you, but damn hard to trust another completely when it comes to real unconditional love. Only my opinion.

Hello saphie, [u][/u] YOu know it's horrible for people to even have the courage to play with some one's heart. that's cruel because i know these group of people who did this when i was still in college. love is complicated because the heart doesn't have it's own brain to think about whom to chose. besides, some people aren't that much interested

That's life and idiots sweetie. What can we do? They just forgot about that wheel that's turning. No such thing will ever go unpunished. Enjoy your life and the hell with others.

I think it all depends on the person and what they may have been through in their lives. If someone gets hurt alot, it may cause them to not have the courage to seek it again.

Hello stephcjh, Yes, I also agree with this and this is one that is common to most Men and women in the past. always going for the wrong person, or they are the right one from the start then becomes the wrong person later on. it's funny and it's really something that can be unpredictable. most of the times, i fear it a lot.

All of us have love in our hearts and it can be scary to give that love away to another especially if we’ve been hurt before. I have been hurt terribly in my time but I always managed to get up and fall in love again; I don’t know where the courage came from but the thought of living my life without caring for somebody else would be the terrible for me so the risk has been worth it. Sadly there are some who are too afraid to even let friends and family close let alone a romantic partner and that is such a shame. You know it is said, “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all…” Sounds corny but it’s true.

Hello Paula, I think we don't want to become scrooge one day. i fear being that person one day, as of now i am in the middle of the conflict. regarding your quote, i completely i agree with it. i think the courage is due to determination and passion to make the relationship work. have a nice day

Time heals all wounds they say...as the song goes.....being hurt is a part of being in love and as the time passes by, the wound would heal....I believe that love comes and hits someone unexpectedly and we can not decide if we will love or not...it is like a virus that would catch you unaware and you would just find yourself stricken by this virus whether you like it or not...it can not be explained...it goes beyond reason.... There's another principle that i've read from a book....if you don't love your spouse/work/etc....just love it....it is claiming that love is not a "noun", not a feeling, not an emotion....it claims that love is a "verb", an action word...

Hello hexebella, I think the best thing for a person was to just love sometimes emotion of it can't last long. that's true love is an action and that why it is so hard because not all can maintain doing the action but some are just making it up in words.yeah, thank god am not that crazy yet for some one. we tend to explain things about love when were not in love but when we are, we tend to be unreasonable.

Falling down after loving someone and giving it all can really destroy someones hard, some people are scared to move on afterwards, and this is what you are trying to say. I think if you are prepared to be happy, prepared to be sad too. Because if something is strong enough to make you happy, it is also strong enough to make you sad. I think that we should not commit ourself so much in loving, now im not saying to not love, but we should be prepared to get hurt. In this way, we would not fall back so much after getting hurt.

Hello David, It can change a person. but like what i am also trying to say about courage, that's the challenge of facing our fears. but i am afraid i may not be able to recover since am not that prepared to be sad since my life had been mostly sad already. i hate getting unprepared things.

God has filled every human hearts with this special feeling of love so everyone is capable of utilizing their inner heart contents to all but with extra special reservation for only one whom God has planned out for us. When you meet that special person meant for you, there seems to be a supernatural force that pulls two hearts together to realize the true meaning of love. Every actions seem to be laced with love which make loving a person effortless. Love comes naturally to those who are fated to be together. Patience plays an important role in finding a true love that need no courage to love.

Hello Zandi458, Yeah, but this is very very rare within every one in this world. some takes the chance with having different relationships just to passers by and find the one true love. yes, most of the time people always consider looking for some one else. i think courages still does needed i see a lot of people even myself, have this fear even if the moment is truly right.

Upon reading your topic, I was more curious about you ever being in love. Did you ever experience or tried to experience this in the first place? It's easy to say that love is difficult, the heart gets tired, people get depressed. But have you noticed that regardless how many times people fail in love, they will still ride the horse back again after a while? Yes it takes courage to admit that you're in love with someone, it involves a lot of risk admitting that the feeling is there because the other person might not feel the same way. I do not think that a person would be too afraid to love because that only happens the first time you fall in love. But when you get a single 'yes' the feeling is so great and addictive that you'd always want to seek that feeling. No amount of hurt could let you get out of the relationship arena. Though, after some time of frustration, there will be talks of 'not doing it anymore' but still people are hard headed and they will look for love again. How about you? What's your experience with love and courage?

We should not feel afrid to show and express our love for someone else. it shows the depths of our compassion and caring and heart. having that courage is something we should proud to share with eacvh other. Love is nothing to be ashamed or emnarrassed about. it is the most powerfule emotion we can encounter in our lives.

Hello sender, that's easy for you to say. love can be express in some easy ways, with family and friends and on safety grounds, but with future partners or the people we court it takes gamble and risk. for now, i might be saying this because i have things to do and brain is working that much instead of my heart.

Hi Letran, We can look at this in several different ways, see some say they are afraid but maybe they were hurt before and afraid to be hurt again. Maybe the person is simply too shy and afraid of rejection. There are so many maybes but the fact is that if one cares enough one simply has to try. If rejected one needs to realize that perhaps it is not them but the other person. Therefore, unless they try it will not happen.

Hello hard-working-gurl, And that also explains why there's a lot of people who are so COLD at first because of how they treat other people.it actually takes time for most people to realize that some was not meant for them is not easy to accept because of personal attachment and it's memories. you know we can't blame them for being too shy but they need to be coached and help Have a nice day
