It's always hard losing a love, whither they are still alive or dead. As long as you hold that someone in your heart you will love them till the end of your time. Does that mean you will never love someone else as much, you probably will, and they will be in your heart as well.

well, i'd first like to just say that i personally dont fully agree with this quote as why would it be better to love and lose it than not experiencing love if you can keep the love and work not to lose it? ignorance, as some say, is bliss...\n\nanyway... i shall elaborate for u...  the quote basically says that it is better to experience love and then lose it rather than never find out and experience it. a lot of ppl believe in this because they believe that love is the best thing in the world, and like other things, it too has and end. but, they say that at least they had a taste of what it was like and the memories of love would forever be on their mind to keep on going... and after experiencing love, or while experiencing love, they will  probably feel on top of the world that they pity those who have not expeienced love yet as they haven't ever been happy in the arms of a loved one as they would feel truly happy.....\n\nor sumthing like that, i hope u understand what i just typed, but if not, i'm sorry then :D

No we as humans do not love to be rejected, we as humans have the need to be loved as much as we love others, it is just like the one person said free will comes into the mix, that other person is also right in that you have a good heart, don't ever change, being of kind heart will reward you in the end, try making new friends, some friends are for different reasons and seasons, some are long term, some are short term, I'm 50, I have had many friends like that, I learned to still love them, just not to brake my heart over their lack of caring, it is just the way they are

I would rather be loved.  Because loving someone can be painful sometimes.  Being loved makes you feel great about yourself.  It doesn't take as much work to be loved as it does to love.

What won't we humans do for love?  Think about this, love can be transitory sometimes and when we find love we want to hold onto it with both hands and never let go...because what if it went away?  \n\nI'm sure most of us have known "love" in one form or another and I think I'm correct in assuming that a lot of us have had that love taken away.  Whether a relationship ends, we loose a friend, family member or even a pet.  Sometimes love  just goes away.  So when we find it we don't want to loose it and because these feelings are so strong within us it can bring out the best and worst in our behavior.\n\nSo love in any shape or form is a glorious thing but without it in our lives it's truly a great tragedy.

Chances are love will hurt.  But love is also a lot of other things.  Good Things.  Things that can't be brought into words because it wouldnt do the feeling justice.  You might hurt while in love but you will be suprised about how much you learned in the end.  It's worth it ;)

True love doesnt have One Meaning. It is diffrent for everyone.... you have to feel it for yourself before you know it.... and it is an undescribable feeling... that is where the saying, "its better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all"... because the mear experience of having it described to you is nothing close.

What's the point?  Heartache inevitably comes whether we want it or not.  I am not going to save room for it, which would be purposely inviting it in.  No thanks!  I save room for happiness, love and joy. :)

Always people we need & love, we dont want to lose them. I always put in my mind that good people died before bad people coz it's part from the end of the universe. Only the worse people will live untill that moment. At the end it's the fate.

I think that if you love your partner and he or she does not love you at this moment you are suffering. While you are loved you do not suffer but probably feel good or even proud of himself or herself. So i think it is better to be loved than to not to be loved. Maybe my opinion does not sound good but it is the truth.

Love and pain come hand in hand. You can't avoid it. Allow yourself to fall, it's the whole point of "falling" in love. They will catch you if they love you in return. It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. It's the only way to live. Push your fear aside and give it your all.

That would depend on what you mean by risking everything, first love is not worth you own life or the lives of children but if it means moving or changing a bit of who you are then yes, love is all about change. good luck and enjoy

In my opinion, you really can't have true love without some degree of friendship. Thus I would posit that love is greater than friendship.
