Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

The bitterness of lost love fades until it becomes, for most, a sweet memory of bygone time

Yes it absolutely is , a life without having experienced mutual falling head over heels in love would be a very poor half life.

Yes, if you live in fear you won't do much in life

well that period after you suffer your loss can be crushing. even if you are the one that did the breaking up.

a wise person once said that "once two people fall in love there can never be a happy ending"

the alternative is to be without love and put up walls

it's lonely

Yes live and learn

Absolutely. Take the risk. Give your heart openly. Love is worth all.

Heartbreak at the end of it hurts. Heal, then do it all again.

Otherwise your life will be a meaningless, loveless, worthless shell.

Life belongs to the bold. The rest are the emotionally dead.

Nah.. If you've never loved then you wouldn't have to worry about the feeling of losing them. ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/

Not sure there's any advantage in either.
You either miss what you had or resent anybody else who has !

I'd have preferred love and having not lost it

A big fat bitter NO.

Yes, most definitely.

I think so.

But is real love ever lost ?

OH such an easy answer for an old man..
IT IS BETTER TO HAVE BEEN LOVED AND LOST...

[c=#800000]Definitely. However, it takes a long time to get over a lost love.[/c]

its hard to lost. Better never to have loved.

Yeah.. unfortunately. It's about being human.

I never liked that saying

Yes absolutely

Not in all cases no

I think so

The latter

Not always no.

I would say so

Yes!

No

No.

Ultimately, yes I think it is.

IDK, a lot of suicide attempts come after a breakup.
