"You cannot appreciate real love until you've been burned."

Tweet

Is it a proven fact: the notion of real love being only "real" when there's pain involved? I want to hear various reactions about this statement. I have only heard this from a song, but that's not the point. I think the statement itself has a figment of truth behind it. Sometimes, you really don't know what real love is until you get hurt in the process. So what do you think? Can't you appreciate real love unless you're burned?
