is falling in love worth it?

Question

no, b/c it is only an emotion and not really worth it forever lossing it

Answer 1

Falling in love is great for the big screen, but not so good on our hearts.

Answer 2

Well, I'd say "YES", love is always worth it, even if it doesn't last forever. I've loved and lost; I've loved and been left; I've loved and done the leaving too. Humans are able to love, if we weren't supposed to fall in love and love (and want to be loved) then we wouldn't have that emotion or need (cockroaches have that emotion so without love you might as well be a cockroach). Now that I am old enough for AARP, I wouldn't have wanted to miss those fluttery butterflies in my gut when I met someone new or was getting ready to go out with someone I didn't know real well. I wouldn't have wanted to miss the unsurety whether it was ok for a first kiss yet. I wouldn't have wanted to miss finding out all about a new person and finding myself impressed, charmed. I learned so much about myself from love (and loss). I learned so much about a lot of things I would not otherwise have bothered with because I wanted to "get into" something the person I was falling in love with was into it. And where would all those great lost love songs have come from if we didn't love? Where would all those wonderful "I'm in love and the world is wonderful" songs be without love? Being in love, falling in love is fun; falling out of love or being dumped is horrendous but it can make you a wiser, better person too. And it certainly can offers you facets and dimensions, depths, to your personality that you can't otherwise get (making you a far more interesting person). If you've never loved and lost, you don't know what it feels like and cannot empathize with someone else going through that.

Answer 3

The word "falling" always entails an accident. I believe a relationship can be work but it's worth it. It helps when both are giving people and neither one or the other is just out for themselves. So many are selfish in their relationships nowadays and that's why there is so much divorce. Love is something that can be learned over time even if a person wasn't raised in a loving home.

Answer 4

Falling in love is always worth it. Even when it is over and the pain is left. It is the happiness that you get while you are in love that matters. Where else can you get that kind of commitment.

Kid? sure but they only fulfill the emotional part (hard to have meaningful conversation with your kids)

Pet? see above

Family? they never reach that level of commitment or passion.

Don't rule out love cause of a few bad apples. Keep searching and live, learn and love.

Answer 5

Being in love is TOTALLY worth the experience , it makes you a stronger, more compassionate person. Each brush with love teaches you something about yourself. Again and again, even, if you have to, until you get it right and that's always a bonus in life. Someone told me just today, that sometimes we build walls, not to keep other people out, but to see who cares enough to knock them down. You know the old saying " Better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all." And for me that is all so true!!!

Answer 6

Of course it's worth it! Sure you might get your heart broken, but why do people bungee jump if they know they might get hurt? It's the same concept. Love can be brutal, but it can also be the best thing in your life... And it always will be eventually. But some people have to be smashed before you get to the top, and you might have to get smashed a few times too, but overall yes, love is DEFINITELY worth it and no matter what anyone else says, it will always be worth it and don't ever think any differently.

Answer 7

Yes: It is worth it, to be so motivated as to go days without eating, sleeping or all kinds of things that you would not otherwise do. This one of the greatest things that there is. L O V E is really great. Enjoy it, just remember that there is a lot happening in life and nothing stops just because you are in love.

Answer 8

I was in love twice. With the same woman. 25 years apart. I lost her both times. It hurt like hell and to this day, I think about what I coulda/shoulda/woulda done differently to make everything work out. The pain never goes away.
Yes, it was worth it. It was more than worth it. The memories I have of the only times in my life that I was truly and completely happy are all that keep me going at times. I'd risk it all again in a heartbeat if fate gave me a third chance. Just to have that kind of happiness again, if only briefly.

Answer 9

I think it is VERY worth it - I was very, very lucky to find my husband.............if u find the right partner then it makes it alot easier. My dad always said " the truth hurts" - and unfortunately we all have to learn the hard way. That usually means going through a couple heart aches bofore finding out that the little things shouldn't matter and there's no reason to fight. Being a team is the most important and just listening to eachother and loving eachother. And the truth about love is love hurts.

Answer 10

Oh ya. It's really worth it. Falling in love is part of life. If you haven't fell in love before then you haven't lived life. It can be a good thing. But it can also be a hurtful thing. It all depends on who you fall in love with. But then again being hurt sometimes is part of life. You have to take the good for the bad sometimes. Good Luck. xoxoxo

Answer 11

Falling in love is the most wonderful, amazing, maddening, crazy, joyful thing that will ever happen to you. It's worth it every time. Take it from a girl who is not in love at the moment and not looking for it. When I was, it was a blessing. Just has to come at the right time!
