If you can chose to have a chance to love but get hurt, would you chose not to ever be in love & get hurt or would you take the chance? I'd rather not get hurt although I know I'm going to be missing alot

I know this is a far stretch from what you are asking but everytime I adopt a cat, I know a few years down the line it will get sick and then need to be put out of it's suffering. The agony of that all rips my heart out of my chest. For the years of love, companionship and joy the cat brings me, the hurt at the end is justified. If you don't take a chance, you may miss out on so much.

I've taken that chance a lot. I've gotten hurt a lot. I still take the chance. Why? Love is worth it. Nothing worth having comes without risk, and every good thing has a downside. The downside is no reason not to embrace life fully.

There are many things in life that are hurtful...we get hurt, we hurt others..sometimes infliction of hurt/pain is intentional, sometimes it is not. It is part of being a human being and why would you deny yourself the joy of loving someone? You would have to put a pretty big wall around you and maintain it so it doesn't crumble...can you imagine all the focus and energy it would consume, taking away focus and energy from other areas of your life? No..I'll take my chances...I have before and I'm still here! :)

It's better to love. It's always better to love than to choose not to love. What about all of the hurt you choose by NOT choosing to love? That's a choice too. The pain is perhaps not quite as intense, but when you don't love, you are indeed choosing a life which is devoid of the wonders and joys of that experience. That said, when you choose to love, remember you cannot choose for the other person. You don't have that right. Love has to be freely given without expectation. Taking into account that you are making a choice, choose to love those who share your values so that you have something substantial to build upon.

i am not going to use the word "love" because i never loved him, i loved the idea. despite that reason when i dated him i knew that it was going to fail but took a chance. honestly i have no regrets, i wouldnt have changed anything for the world. i realize that if i didnt then i would always play the "what if game," and i know now that i would have been missing out. i dont think i hurt so much because i prepared myself. i am all about taking chances because hurting can heal but wondering never stops.

i would live to love and worry about the consequences later,come what may.

I would choose to love. I've been hurt in the past because of it. but, from that hurt, I've appreciated and cherished more the love that I have now.
-
I would choose love, as a matter of fact I have. I know the person I am with right now is probably not the best situation and the odds are are really against us, I am deeply in love, and knowing it could end tomorrow just makes me savor every moment and second today. It is worth it, some people never get a chance.

thats kind of a hard one. I've never been heart broken and I dont think i'd want to be. HOWEVER I think i'd pull through okay. I'd take my chance and fall in love knowing i'd get hurt.
