To love or to be loved ,which is more important?

Question

Which is more important ,to love or to be loved?

Answer 1

Although I don't admit it to a certain somebody, but it feels awkward to love and not feeling beloved.

The feeling has to be mutual in order to keep on loving. otherwise, it is destined to die.

Answer 2

They are both important: But I am answering regarding loving your children, family 1st. Then loving your significant other 2nd

Automatically you love your children, and family, and automatically love you back. You might not like certain characteristics in them, and they you. However love is always there.

Only in rare cases do you see that parental, or sibling love for one another is questioned. But they still do not have the same impact on your emotions.

When it comes to your B/G/ friend, or spouse then they are equally important. Because if you love them, and they don't love you back the pain is very great.

You can see that just by all the questions we get on Y/A how much pain people go through because they love someone whether it be their spouse, B/G/friend, and they either left them, or found someone else. They ask, "how can I forget them", "what should I do to ease the pain", etc... "I love them so much, the pain is so great how can I go on",????? Some even say they started drinking, or taking drugs. In extreme cases they say they don't want to live, or ask "how can I go on living"?

So that is why to love and be loved in return is equally important when it comes to your spouse, Boy friend or Girl friend.



Additional notes: In your signifcant other relationship many times, one loves the other more. In that case I would say to be loved more by the other is better than your loving more.

Regarding, parental or sibling love:
Only in random cases do you see that sibling or parental love is questioned. Even then it does not have the same emotional impact as it does when a spouse's love, or significant other is questioned.

Answer 3

2 B Loved

Answer 4

There is a giant paradox in what you are asking since you are assuming it is not ordinary to be loved and love at the same time. I will agree strongly with that assumption as it is my experience that one is most often either in a state of loving and is in need of being loved OR is being loved and cannot love in a reciprocal manner.

For me, to love is the most important. Love has lifted me out of this world and time constraints to surreal experiences of altered states. Being loved is a pain for me because it puts me on a pedestal and makes me feel inadequate for not being able to reciprocate in kind. Being put on a pedestal means that the other is well below me and that does not make for good communication or physical expression. Also, it is very difficult not to fall off from such heights. I would rather float on the timeless clouds of expressing my true love for another than be stuck up on some elevated place that when I step off there will no longer be love.

Answer 5

They are equally as important. It sucks when you love someone and they don't love you back, and it's creepy when someone you really wish would go away practically stalks you. When the chemistry is right, it is a wonderful feeling, and so many people don't have that. It is the most desired thing in the world, and there is no price tag.

Answer 6

Both are important. Being loved gives you strength, whereas loving someone gives you courage. You feel that you can face the world when you are being loved, for it gives you strength. Loving someone will propel you to do many things; dangerous things, stupid things, foolish things, things that any sane person would never dream of doing like spending a month's wages on a piece of damned chocolate just to impress. Why? Because you have courage..

Answer 7

It is easy to be loved, But to love in return is rather difficult.
Therefore it is more important for a persons well-being.

Most important is to love without strings attached.

Answer 8

Besides the definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13, Jesus stated that that would be the true mark of his people - if they had love among themselves. I consider myself to be a loving person. But I also follow the counsel in Corinthians where it says to widen out. So I try to be loving toward all those I can be.

Answer 9

To be loved, it is good to love, better when you are loved in return, but when it is a choice, it is best to be loved. When sickness come , ( it will if you live long enough), you need someone that loves you. No matter how much you love someone when you get ill, they may or may not stand beside you. If you have someone that loves you, that person will be there. It does not have to be an illness, you need someone that loves you.

Answer 10

Love is a feeling which is felt from both side of the sun...!!!!

Love in ur heart wasnt put there to stay, love is'nt love till u give it away

Answer 11

If you have never been loved, you would not know how to love back..
Its always humbling to look and see so many people around you who love u for who you are. You wonder what made them love you and why they are still loving you even when you have messed up 1 too many times in life. I hope that will teach us to love back with as much sincerety as they did.
