Which one is better? to love or to be loved?

Question: Which one is better!? to love or to be loved!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Simply stupidity! You can't be loved if you do not love!. The word 'better' is not a factor in LOVE!. But I tell you one thing, before you get loved, you have to love first!. It happens to a new-born baby even!. Just think, how a new-born baby would know to love to be loved!? That's the funny thing! The way new born babies come, they force us to love them---their smile, their soft touch, their smell of the mouth, their meaningless noises----everything make us to love them; so they're also loved by us!. It's all the same for us adults!. You love first, then be loved!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Congratulations on asking a most popular question!.

Males are 60% initiatory ("loving") and 40% fulfilling ("loved"); females are the complementary dynamic!.

Depending on one's gender, and on one's comparative fulfillment in the initiatory and fulfilling (the "Alpha to Omega"), either is "better!."

yes--
this says it best for me!.!.

"I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity!.!.!. I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not--more important now was for me to love them!. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving!.”

I think it's better to love, but that's because I prefer having the experience over being adored!. I would rather have the emotions than be the one in the awkward position of trying to be around someone you like but don't love, even though they love you (I'm assuming from your question that it's not mutual)!. Love, especially unrequited love, can cause great creativity if you can channel it into an art!. That's fun, even if you're not very good at it! ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

You must love in order to be loved!. It's a coexisting cycle in which to receive love, it must be given in some way shape or form!. Although, in human nature, people believe that being loved is above all else!. But, the saying goes "It is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both!.To love one person does means that the same is loved by the complimentary spouse!. If not, love is meaningless between genders! In other words one who doesn't know the meaning and sensitive to love, can neither love anybody nor can be loved by anybody!Www@QuestionHome@Com

obviously being loved is better cause when someone loves it is the best thing to happen to you!. but when you love someone it really hurts especially when someone doesn't love you back!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To Love!.

Cause if to be loved means that you are ONLY being loved back by that ONE or MORE person!.

To love, to me, it means that you LOVE someone and you'll be LOVED by manyWww@QuestionHome@Com

to be loved is better!.!.!. selfish as it sounds!.!.!.

because very often you love and the other side doesn't reciprocate!.!.!. with me, its always that way!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dunno =( I want to go with both!.!.!. It would suck not to love, but then it would suck to love and not be loved back!. So i really don't know! Soooo Hard!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Im going to say to be loved, loving is equally as great but to love and not be loved back sounds terrible -Www@QuestionHome@Com

To be loved I think!. Great for your confidence and ego and puts a smile on your face!. Not to mention less chance of getting a broken heart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return!.

They are equal, neither is "better" =]

I think they go hand in hand!. I don't think I would understand what it feels like to be loved, if I didn't first know how to love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To Love is better, because if you love someone special, it is usually returned ten fold!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
