To accept love from another requires a greater vulnerability and less control over the situation.

i agree with you. but wanted to add...i can't control anyone else, so for that reason as well as the ones you mentioned, i find it easier to love than be loved.
I have to choose them both. even in the very beginning if for a true Love I would hope that I would be with someone that could accept my Love and I theirs. I always like that one saying "Love is reflected in Love" <<<<<<Sunglasses at night. Blame it on the moon. ;-}
thanks. I too think to be loved need a great trust on the other and a real ability in showing the whole oneself. And one can only choose every time to let some other watch to your inside . And one can learn a bit every day.
windofpeace: LOVE OR TO BE LOVED? Thanks to any helper. I can't find alone a satisfying reply. What is easier: to love or to let others love you?
To love is easier. It does not involve anybody else. Up to you how you fill that in. With the risk of things becoming a hazy fantasy far removed from any reality. As long as expectations are kept realistic, no harm done. To love someone is a feeling, pure and simple. To let others love you demands emotional interaction, trust, honesty, responsibility. From the two it is the one with potentially the most risk but without doubt the most rewarding.
