I’ve only had two conversations about having loved and lost or never at all in my life.
One, I had with my Dad. The other I had with Ace from 80 Proof. Unfortunately, I can’t recall the contents of my conversation with my father only that he thought it was better to have loved and lost versus the opposite. In contrast, that time I spoke with Ace, he believed the latter. To be fair to him, at the time, he’d suffered a bite of an apple from the Tree of Forbidden Knowledge which shocked him from one opinion to the other.
In that conversation, I believe I’ve come to an answer, though it may be a cop out. I believe it’s the middle between two extremes.
That’s fair.
The only answer I’ve got is a cop-outPain teaches you.Pain at a young age, often not fatal, teaches you a lesson and “makes you feel alive”
Pain at an old age can mean a swift lesson followed by deathIt is better to have loved and lost at a young ageor never at allFor now, I’ll save my whole love for God who deserves it
and my children who need it

Based on what Jesus stated…I’d go with the later.

Could you summarise that in a couple sentences?

I wonder. I have many regrets. But as I let myself feel the pain, it evaporates. So which is better? In the end, that which hurts most. Because after it stops hurting, you will be that much sturdier.
