Everyone says that love hurts,but that's not true Loneliness hurts,rejection hurts,losing someone hurts
Everyone confuses these things with love but in reality LOVE is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again
tomboygirl: For me.. Love was the biggest giver of happiness,self acceptance,and joy. The loss of that love(through death)was the biggest devastation,and grief.would I go back and wipe the both,not a chance,would I go back and do both all again,without hesitation!
now this is love from within talking tomboygirl and well put... life is to be appreciated and not in any way to be lived with hesitation

In response to: ....is the kind of love between a male and a female - one of the biggest sources of pain on this earth?
I like these kinds of threads - it is a good question, in my opinion.
A metaphor about love between the genders - romantic love.
Love is like the oxygen in the air we breathe that goes into our lungs. We need it to survive and it isn't pure oxygen (love) it has other components in it (caring, loyalty, friendship, empathy,insecurities - insert all types of emotions here)
And how much we breathe in depends on the capacity of our body. If we are in a place where the air is thin (insert negative emotions here - jealousy, anger, neglect, selfishness) no matter how much we breathe - there is not enough oxygen (love)to live on. When it is rich in oxygen (love) - we can feel lightheaded and giddy- and we have increase in health and vitality. When there is not enough oxygen (love) in the air, we can sufficate - sickness can result (in body and soul).
The world is full of oxygen (love) and for our purpose can be infinite, breathed in and out with great joy as long as our hearts beats. And the world has many places that lack good air to breathe. The trick is to find that special someone who can be in the same place rich with oxygen for both to breathe.
I know my metaphor is not mine originally but I am taking it to Scotland with me.

My respect Madam. I still think people like you are very rare. Usually for others love brings more negative feelings -in the long run- than anything else.
venusenvy: Love also brings us our highest highs...It seems that peeps forget that
Well, I do not forget that particularly, BUT the highest highs come with pain too. So maybe, only those that know how to control the cost of pain while loving and achieving heights are those that can put those two things together in the end.
dave471963: A quote that I've heard before..."there is quite a difference between knowing the path and walking it...those who walk it are few in number, but have the strength of a mountain...love is more than feelings, it is a path itself and requires determined choice, I have no love for any particular person, but an enormous amount for humanity; it is not an easy decision in a world full of hatred; but do something original: choose life.
How to make an island of love in a world full of hatred, I would add to your nice post.

Antjo39: Last night while driving back home I just stopped to buy some wine and my eyes met some Argentinian wine on the shelves I had never seen in Peru. I used to drink this one with my ex when we spent some time in the Aconcagua area, so some flashes of intense remembrances invaded my mind. I realised that besides all the things that made us dislike each other, there were many moments when we had the potential to be good friends, and probbaly we could have been friends today. I mean a friendship based on brotherhood and affinity. However, we had a better idea, we decided to follow a relationship, as others based on hopes, previous wounds and disabilities, so we fell apart inevitably by the evil action of love and its heavy requirements.
Is it love- I mean that kind of love between a male and a female - one of the biggest sources of pain on this earth?

We need to look for something else to make life complete. I believe so.

Of course it can be the greatest source of pain, as it's probably the greatest desire there is.
