If you can only have one. Would you prefer to love or be loved.

[Im a PCSO]

Reading Pumping iron's response to a thread thought I throw this in and see what others think.

 

[Pompal 09.]

If I could only have one, I'd pick to be loved. Loving without getting it back is too hard. And, I'm not even sure my cold cynical heart is capable of it. :neutral:

 

[liddabet]

Not all are capable of loving or know what it means to love unless you've been a parent.

 

[The Beast Unleashed]

That is so untrue.

Most people are capable of breeding & conceiving.

Some of the most loving and beloved people I know are not parents, and never will be.

 

[knittinmama]

Grumps has a point but png's is bang on right.

:love::love: love :love::love:

 

[Gerph]

Sex before love and no one gets hurt. :666::go:

 

[animation videos]

Amen! :tongue:

.

To love - To be loved
Ying - Yang
Vodka - Ice
Cock - Warm opening
Pussy - Pussy plugger

Yes they exist on their own but are not complete till combined .

If you are incapable of giving love then you really can't fully enjoy receiving it .

If you can't love , you can't feel the butterflies even after you've been together for 20 years and you spend a couple of days apart .

Seriously ? Have you had teenagers : .

I know the thread is supposed to be about a girlfriend that you loved and no longer see, but there are many more forms of loved and lost.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful little boy that died in an accident with his mother. He was the brightest star in the universe and for a short time outshone everything that existed. Despite his light going away, we are all still the better for it and the brilliance of his time continues and is never forgotten.

The perversity of life is that I have racked up relatively large amounts of wealth in the decades since then, but all of it would eagerly be paid for a single day with them.

Yes, it is better to have loved, but by God the loss can take an unconscionable toll.

 

[homophobe]

I'm sorry, Lag...I can't find the words to say it. To lose a child has to be the worst kind of hell there is.

 

[I Like Turtles]

It was a long time ago, probably before you were born, and I have come to terms with reality.
But not a single day goes by where both of them are not in my thoughts.

 

[Jock]

ABSOLUTELY prefer to love:love:. Its been my life for the last 4 years, and as I say to those I love No Reciprocity Expected.

This has a lot to do with my age, and great memories of loving and being loved over decades.

No doubt at all- I would rather be treated well than loved.:happy:

 

[annmic]

I've always been told it is better to give than receive....Unfortunately, at this time I don't think I'm capable of exposing myself to those feelings, much less expressing them.

As for receiving...I'm sure my guilt would get the better of me in time for being a "taker", if I didn't think they're nuts for loving someone like myself.

Then start small and give anonymously something that may appear to be inconsequential.

Before you know it, time will have passed, and the electrical storm in your brain will be no more and there will be nothing left but your legacy.

To build a legacy of your choosing start with something small and give. It may start as a simple donation to a charity, but over time you will think about what you are leaving behind and will try to leave something greater.

Its not about how you want to be today, or how you want to be remembered tomorrow, it is really all about what do you want to leave while you get control the decision.

 

[fire f]

Love all the way. Love freely, without conditions. Its one of the purest joys of life.

 

[sofeinurbizness]

Very thought-provoking question

I have to be pragmatic. If I could only have one, it would have to be loved.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a giver and I take great joy in showing special people in my life that I care. But I've learned that it can't just be one way. That's just draining (and I'd be asking for endless disappointment). We all need to be loved. That's just human nature.

Having said that, I also believe that if you give love freely and unconditionally, you're bound to get it back.

 

[Lon]

Please don't confuse someone capable of breeding with being a parent. The 2 titles are often mutually exclusive.

I think what FG was referring to is one's understanding of unconditional love is GREATLY enhanced when gazing lovingly upon the eyes of your own child.

I know mine does...

I am a giver, so to love, love love................
