I mean, with living yourl life with nothing but love would make you dull to it? Kind of like pain, you get the same pain over and over and your sences get duller to it.
Who's more happy? The person who has been loved all their life or the person who has been abused and neglected most of their life, but one day they found something very preciouse someone to love and can maintain that love forever.

I think that you can understand love without pain. But, I think that pain goes inherently with love. For example, If some stranger on the street says to you "You are a fat B****" You will probably be insulted and angry but nothing more. If your lover of 15 years says this to you it is definitely going to hurt you. It didn't hurt you for the stranger on the street to say this to you because you don't love him and will probably never see him again. But it hurts when your lover or best friend says this to you because they are something special to you and you are supposed to be something special to them.

Experiencing pain makes you understand the many depths of love. When someone says "love" people automatically think of romance. The Zen philosophy that nothing exists without an opposite is true in every area of life. Because pain exists there is such a thing as love. One doesn't necessarily have to have pain to have love, but having pain brings a deeper understanding of love.
I think this is a very good premise for a play. If I were writing this play I would think about maybe using a couple to show the strength of the love and maybe pain/disasters in the family and friends to offset the main characters deeper appreciation of his/her strong love.

It's false. You can understand love without pain. The problem comes in that a lot of love ends sadly, so people tend to assume that they have to go together, even though they don't.

If you think something is good enough to write about, you don't need to talk about it. You need to go through the actual work and pain of writing and putting your work in front of the public to get the reward you're searching for. Applause is great. But the best applause is green.

that's overrated! Get real! love means love and it's just our ego, or expectations that connects it with pain.(mind that "hope" was in Pandora's box among the other stuff, and after Hesiod, hope makes people deluded, as we are not to know our future)

"It is better to have loved and lost, then to never have have loved at all" Right?
