The Stumping Question...

Feb 25, 2008 - 19:05 PM PST

I was just doing one of those bulliton survey things on myspace and there was a question on it that really has put my mind out of wack...

Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a heart break or have never loved before?

That one question has put so many things into perspective. I mean, yes true love is one of the greatest things in the world, or so everyone and everything says, but would it really be worth the pain? I mean you look at Romeo and Juliet or Titanic and say awww i want a romance like that but look how they turned out? I mean, true love in movies maybe be totally different from what we see in Real Life, but still...

Love is a powerful thing. I believe that if everyone learned to love then the human race would have almost no problems, because there would be no war or poverty because people would learn to give. It's a very brood catigory that alot of things can fit into. But this is not the case in reality and alot of people don't know how to give and love (not saying that i'm a complete saint). But is true love for that very instant or however long it lasts, really worth the heartbreak in the end? I mean, first true love shouldn't really have an ending to begin with, but in most cases the more deeply in love you are with someone, the harder you fall in the end. It's like rock climbing, the higher you go the more deadlier it becomes and if you fall, well....you know what happens. Unless there is someone there to catch you but that's off the subject here. Is love really worth the pain in the end? Most of the time it drives people mad, and some commit suicide over it. Is love really worth dieing for when you know it will just end?

But some people would say yes, yes it is worth the heart break because that however long happiness is worth more then all the money in the world. Even with the heart break you'll still know what it's like to be in love and the breath taking experiences that come with it. The pain is something you just have to deal with...and yes, yes it is. Through life you can't escape pain. It's always gonna be there in the time line and you might as well live with it. Me having a boyfriend and all I have that wonderful happiness most of the time. Ok I'm lieing but it's because complications have arisen but i'm getting off topic again. But before the complications, I was utterly happy. My close friend just recently got a new girlfriend and i've never seen him happier in the time that i've known him. So maybe this happiness, even if guarenteed to end, is worth it all. But we're all human, who really wants to go through the pain?

I think if I asked that question to a class, almost everyone would raise their hand. So how do you answer? Happiness and then pain, or maybe being left out of that happiness and end up feeling lonely anyway? It's a lose lose situation basically....but sometimes I really wonder...is love really worth all the trouble it brings in it's wake? I mean, look at Romeo and Juliet...They both wound up dead....
