they say, "love is a wonderful feeling which makes you happy." ...but i know a lot of people hurt by love, why does it sucks? why does love hurt so much that sometimes it causes to end one's life?

Without pain, happiness would not exist. If love wasn't painful, then it would not be regarded as such a beautiful thing. It has the power to move people and change lives, but to lose your life over a person you love is insensible. No one that really loves you will you put you through so much pain, and if they do then they are not worth your life or your heart.

yes its true that love hurts. still it is said one of the nicest thing in life. still people crave for true live. true love is selfless and so it pains so much when that is broken or you are cheated.

It's true that love is a wonderful feeling but if it's true love then it means pain...and pain is never a reason to let go...when you love,pain is always be there to take you over...

they're right, love is a wonderful felling which makes you happy. love doesn't hurt. but if love is taken from you, that hurts.

Not an expert in this topic, but will try to give some ideas. Love comes in many forms. Puppy love is infatuation. Greedy love comes from selfishness. There are also fake, forced and sympathetic love. Real and true love are the most beautiful and meaningful ones and the people who experienced these type of love are the ones most hurt when being betrayed. Guess this is just the reality of life, in which we have to face bravely. Chins up, try to get it over with, cause they are other people who still love us. Who knows somewhere out there, there is someone perfect, waiting to be found.

"Love is a mirror to ourself" From simple to look to ourself to complex meaning of self-understanding and self-introspection. Mirror is the opposite of yourself, what the left is the right on the other side. But of course love meaning is not only about that just simple personafication. When you feel smile to your love, so you will see the opposite is smiling at you, and else. To love is to let other judges about you, because the person who can know you better is not yourself, but others. To end one's life because of love, can be determined with, to break the mirror in front of you, you don't want to see the opposite anymore, you hated so much on that opposite side, which means directly you so hated about yourself. You never forgive the opposite as if it means that you never forgive yourself, because what is in the mirror is nobody else, it is yourself.

Love is not what end's someone's life. I am not sure what you are referring to. If you are referring to someone ending their own life because of emotional pain or unrequainted love. I especially like the words of Khalil Gibran when he speaks of joy and sorrow in his book The Prophet: "But I say unto you, they are inseparable Together they come and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your joy and your sorrow. Only when you are empty are you at a standstill and balanced."

I was under the impression that love should never hurt. If it does then there is usually something badly wrong between or with one or both peeople.If there is some abuse of some kind that is probably more infatuation than real love. the wayI understand it is love makes both people want to do their best for the person they love and be the best for the person they love. There should be no pain in real love.

I still think that the pain comes not from the love of someone for you but because that person has somehow broken their promises and that is not love then that is selfishness. Love has to flow both way for it to be real love.
