The love lack dichotomy?

Philosophically speaking,is the owner of a lonely heart better off than the owner of a broken heart? Is it truly better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?

    better off loving (((random))), yes, it's risky, yes, it's potentially hazardous and highly toxic, but life is no life without it.

    Is it better to have all your money taken or have never had any money?

    Would you/me/anyone be afraid of being rich if it required a little risk? a personal investment?

    Is it worth having/finding "A satisfying return or result" in anything?

    Or just giving up and admitting you are beat before you start?

    Love is not a Division into two usually contradictory parts or opinions. Is it?

    Isn't it something a little different than that?

    Source(s): As far as Clichés like " loved and lost than to never have loved at all?" Well you get out of life what you put into it.....Right?
  • I think it comes down to how the individual deals with the situation. Some people take a disappointment and do even more damage to themselves in hopes of avoiding further hurt. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone with that mindset did damage to him or herself from a life alone instead.

    Philosophically I think what matters most is to find ways to keep on loving, regardless of what happens along the way.

    Hearts do not permanently break. I favor the situation in which experience has been involved, with possible learning and emotional maturity. This I think is preferable to the situation wherein nothing has happened nor been experienced. Go ahead there are worse things than hurt feelings.

    In my opinion, it is better to own a broken heart than a lonely one. Because, a broken heart can be mended with a new relationship and it gives you experience and memories which you can cherish forever.However, a lonely heart will be hollowed forever.

    it is better to try and lose again and again until you win, than never try at all.

    hope i helped

    I think I'm better for all theshit I've been through. If I had never been crazy, I wouldn't have the perspective or the joi de vivre I've recently gained (and hoping desperately to keep).

    I think it is. At least having loved and lost you know what it is that you're chasing and have the foreknowledge to stop if you so choose. Before having my heart broken that first time I'd have just kept on chasing love not knowing what it was I was trying to find.

    You're welcome.

    both are tough situations.

    if i had to choose though, i would rather be the owner of a lonely heart.

    its just my opinion though.

    Yes love can be brutal, and when it leaves, it leaves a gaping hole.

    But in my experience it's still worth it.

    Very cliché but apt

    1. No pain, no gain.

    2. That which does not kill me can only make me stronger.
