Obviously a combination is most desirable..but if it isnt to be, then what is better or more important, even more desirable?

TO love is definitely better. The feeling of giving somebody that affection, the selflessness, feels much better than just being loved. I mean, yes, to be loved is a wonderful feeling, but it is even better to love because you do not owe that person anything (which is a complete contrary if you are loved by someone but you dont love him/ her back, haha).

To return love is common sense.
To be loved is wonderful, but if the love is one-sided, then it is usery and selfishness and leads to soul rot.
To love another is often unexpected and causes one to grow as a person. To love a group can be very comforting because someone in that group will probably be returning that love at any given moment. To love when no love returns is to become enlightened and to love where one is hated is to see with the eyes of God.

Both to love and to be loved are important. Most of them fail in love because they give importance to one or the other.

I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true 'The empty vessel makes the greatest sound'.
William Shakespeare
if your heart is closed to love then it's better to love but if it is not is better to be loved...empty words like love mean nothing...because people make the meaning of words..to sound like they want!

In order for anyone to be loved, one has to first, love. If everyone thought it better to be loved, who would do the loving? It is better to love, logically. Being loved will come second.

To love unconditionally, so I can make someone capable of loving, too. People who are mean to others are often said to have never experienced unconditional love.

To love is more important because love begets love
