2intrigued: I already have a lot of love to give so if I had to choose, it would be to be loved. One can keep giving but it sure would be nice to receive.
Adding to this and based on my own personal experience, when I express love, it usually comes back. In some cases, one can express love and become a doormat. I really do believe there needs to be a healthy balance of expression.
Obstinance_Works: All some people have is their love of love, but love is not loving. Hm. I'm going to say to be loved because loving emotion for the sake of emotion has to be violating the man code somewhere.
When you denigrate love to just an emotion, you cut yourself off from the true meaning...unless of course you are referring to romantic love, that great narcotic of our times.

To Love, because to "be Loved" is to allow someone to Love you. For that to happen all barriers have to be dropped and all walls must be broken down. You must allow yourself to be vulnerable.....and that i think for me is harder.

this poll was from an psychological test in the 90`s. The test was about testing the EQ. The requirement was to accept the terms. That term was that you have to choose 1 out of this 2 possibilities.
