| Its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved
Posted: 12/21/2005 6:43:54 PM | Too many people don't appreciate the "gift" that life is.
Appreciate the experiences for what they are. Live a life full of experiences and you have lived a full life.
Love... the greatest experience you can have... Who wouldn't want to always be in love?? | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 8:20:55 PM | Well i don't agree with that terran,not only have I been crushed by someone whom I
loved,still love,I think,and being betrayed and used by people thought to be your friend,
can sure impact and dismember a heart!
I'm trying real hard,and some bad experiences is good on the learning level,but it can destroy a person who has been abused and shy all his life,I know I feel it.
I'm at a point where I don't know how I feel anymore,I am lost,I don't have any interest in
anything anymore,but I am fighting this awfull feeling,I really am!

Posted: 12/21/2005 8:27:03 PM | | Absolutely!! I definitely believe that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I could not imagine my life without the people who I have loved, they have made me who I am today. Granted, there were some bad times with those people, but thats life... I would have much rather had the in my life than not at all. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 8:47:04 PM | | Is it better to have never been born than to have lived and eventually die? Of course not. Eventually, we all die, but life is worth it. People have to realize that every day that you love and are loved back is gravy. Some people get nothing and they have to die in the end anyway. So whatever good times you can put in your log, do so. Living without love is not painless, it is just joyless. It is existence, not life. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 8:52:15 PM | | I feel for your loss, Lisa, and your grief; I suspect that all the opinions in the world won't ease your feelings but, life without love is an oxymoron - nothing. Never to have loved is never to have lived. If you love, as sure as smoke rises, you will endure pain; without love though, life gradually shrivels into an aridity of purposelessness. | |

Posted: 12/21/2005 9:05:54 PM | Any generalization does not take into account the individual. It depends on the day the question is asked, doesn't it? Even the minute, as we may feel a different tolerance to the pain we carry. It is true that without the love we learned, we would not be who we are. It is also true that sometimes we are overwhelmed with longing for someone beyond our reach. It is at these times that life itself begs the same question - "to be or not to be?"
I am sure that William S. (no... not Shatner) was not the first to ask this either.
I wish all a pain free and life affirming Happy Holiday Season and a very Happy New Year! | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 4:53:24 AM | I dont' know,,,I walked around in disbelief for two whole weeks after I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me with someone he met in the Army Reserves.
He was a weekend warrior,,,,and had hickies on his neck after one of their "outings". Her name was Christina...(funny how I remember the b.i.t.c.h.e.s name.)
I was so hurt,,,I would just burst into tears in public, couldn't work,slept a lot,,bawling all the time. I'm gonna' have to go with NO. I could have been spared that.
Sugar Ray says it best in his song: "once again, as predicted, left my broken heart open,,,and you ripped it out." | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 6:54:11 AM | | You never really get over such traumatic situations but u sure learn how to live with them. I personally wouldn't change a thing sure was horrible and took me long time to accept it but has changed me into a better person because of it. Im more compassionate to others pain. But good thread makes you think.. | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 8:29:20 AM | Im going through it right now. Its been 4 months of hell. It just doesnt go away. The love you have for someone will never go away, if you know what love truely is. I will never find my true love, I let it pass me by. So I understand how your feeling. Maybe someday we will get past this, true love is'nt easy to find and even harder to get over.  | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 9:13:04 AM | I am terribly sorry about your loss lisakoziol, there is nothing to remove the pain of loosing a loved one.
The human experience is all about gaining and loosing. Through what we loose we learn a greater appreciation for what we gain no matter what we we do. It is everywhere including love.
The cliche isn't meant to solice our heart after we loose someone. I think it is more meant to celebrate what we had gained even though it is no more. Even though sorrow and pain live on in our hearts we need to celebrate what was shared, the magic that did exit, and the love that remains long after. If we didn't, then perhaps we wouldn't be able to forge ahead and do it all over again.

Well said.
""Remember it's not how many times you fall but how you pick yourself up ---- that counts.""
I couldnt agree more :) | |

Posted: 12/23/2005 3:16:09 PM | | I would have to say it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Many great memories I will cherish for sure. I guess a way I was told to look at it is that I would never have had those memories if I never loved. Although I will say the pain of the loss is something I would like to forget. I have experiaenced a lot of pain in life and the broken heart is the hardest one to get through. Have a good day... | |

Posted: 12/25/2005 12:06:31 PM | | I'm sorry...I tend to agree with the saying " it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all ". I mean, you have to be strong and take it in the gut...if you can't learn from pain, and snap out of it, then you haven't learned the important lesson that love that is so good can also hurt. The absence of a good , real love is a lesson in itself, so we know what we are missing or have missed. But it is not a lesson to get depressed over for eternity...it is something to make you stronger. | |
