I'm not sure what this is all about Ranger1930. Some pretty deep thoughts going on here though...so I feel compelled to say something.
I feel opposite of you and your friend's opinion on love. I truly believe it IS better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. No one should pass through this life and never experience the most intense of all human emotions! As a matter of fact, I'm not sure one CAN pass through this life and honestly say they had never been in love...at least once. I just can't imagine how a person could miss it in an entire lifetime...providing that the person lives a natural length of time. Who could have such a closed heart to have missed something that hits you out of the blue? And, if they do miss it...how and why? Love seems to be the something that makes us whole. To never have experienced it for long enough to lose it seems to leave a kink in the link of the circle of life. In the circle...we are born, we grow, we love, we leave an impression on this planet (be it by our children or by our contributions or both) and then we die.
I highly doubt that your friend would give back his "love experience" in exchange for never having had it or the chance to have it again...ever! As you said...the feeling is so wonderful...how could you never want it or never want to experience it again?
Kinda like sex...ain't it?
