I'd rather love because I wanna share my love and be able to have that feeling :) Being loved by someone is the bonus or the price of loving someone.

well thats a hard question just because being loved can be different these days. a phsyco can love you. and you might not love them back. but i rather have someone love me because if i spend enough time with them i will eventually love them back, hopefully, and well if that doesn't happen i wouldn't mind loving because its better to love than lost i think the phrase is???

to love someone is nothing. to be loved is something. to love and be loved is everything. loving someone is usual but some times almost always.. they see you as a friend and such stuff. i preffer to be loved rather to love. its more rare to be loved. its easier to give a chance to someone instead of someone to give a chance to you..

Love - Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment.
I would rather be loved and love rather than go one way. I don't want to be on a one way track. I want someone to love me and I want that someone to be someone I love. If I chose to be loved it would be unfair for the other person because he's loving me and I am not and we won't be happy. On the other hand Love should be shared and given by both partners and not just only one. Having even or equal feelings would keep the love forever than just doing it alone.

In some cases it is better to be loved as it is easier but what is the point anyway if you dont feel anything and just want to be loved?! I think one can not chose one and say ok, I'll love someone today or I'll be loved and that's it. It is give and take, what do you think?

I'd like to love someone, and I'd also like to be loved. It's not selfish to want both. To be loved is a necessity as far as I'm concerned. If no one loves you, your life would be miserable because you'd feel hopeless and useless. When you love someone, you treasure that person, be they your girlfriend, boyfriend or anyone who deserve your love. This is truly meaningful for them. I guess for a person to love, he has to be loved too. You can't love a person when that person doesn't love you, or doesn't feel your love. Hmm...hope I make sense; it's a bit philosophical.

I used to think that being loved is more important than loving someone but I realized that this philosophy is not true. In order to be loved, we need to love our partner unconditionally. A relationship needs both in order to sustain and there shouldn't be any comparison on who love each other more.

It easy to loved but difficult to be love. You cannot expect your partner or friends to reciprocate the good things you do to them without showing your feeling and your likeness with them. When they realize it that the only time you will be loved. Therefore, unconditional love is the best alternatives, you set no limit and never expected a love to return. You just gives without expecting to receive. At least love remain universal feeling which you could not force unless you voluntarily share.
