Who's the idiot that wrote this. (27)
Alfred loyd Tennyson

Dunno.. but I totally disagree. If you've never loved, you have the luxury of being ignorant of what you're missing. I can't think of anything worse than having loved and lost.

Tennyson wrote a number of phrases that have become commonplaces of the English language, including: "nature, red in tooth and claw", "better to have loved and lost", "Theirs not to reason why,/Theirs but to do and die", and "My strength is as the strength of ten,/Because my heart is pure".

this reminded me of this Beatles song.................
In My Life
(Lennon/McCartney)
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

"'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."
It's true. Even if you lose, at least you've satisfied a basic curiosity and don't have to waste time guessing.

Tribulations build character, and losing is part of life just as much as any other thing.

yes,never trying again.
Tantamount of falling down and not getting up again.

I wrote a hypothetical/analytical essay on this once.......from a christian point of view. (even though I am not a christian)
The essay pertained to the love we have for our children. The hypothetical was this:
Suppose God said to you, "I have this gift to give you....to love unconditionally...to protect and guide and teach the ways of life. But, some years from now, I won't say how many, I must take back this gift. Will you accept this gift, knowing you will love him with the purest of hearts and will be devestated when I take him back?"
I posed that question. There are very few people who would turn down this gift, even knowing it is highly likely that "the gift" would be taken away from them.
Love is, after all, one common denominator we all share. We all seek it....need it....crave it.......
My own quote: "it is far better to have touched the face of true love, if only for a moment in time, than to have never known it at all"

I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
