"<strong>It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.</strong>"

I disagree.

<strong>Loving and lost </strong>implies emotional pain.  Something that is often very hard to get over.

<strong>To have never loved at all</strong> implies that one has gone through life without love but I believe that this is better option because it doesn't involve the same emotional pain.

The best case scenario is: "It's better to have never loved and lost but to find true love that lasts forever..."   This is what I hope to find one day...
