Why does love have to be so sad?

[TimeToGo]

I guess because nobody knows you when you are down and out

[RagingInMiami]

1. You know the old saying

laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone

Or something to that effect

[salib]

2. Like my mother always said

It is better to laugh than to cry.

Still, I also say "love will out!", much like "truth will out." And, of course, there is always the poignant side of all this.

Oh well...

[bloodyjack]

3. love is ILLUSORY

so stop worrying about it :)

[Sporadicus]

4. No Worries

'cause I got the key to the highway B-)

6. It's got to get better in a little while...

Just Tell the Truth.

8. Eric Clapton's music was much better when he was a broken hearted junkie

Sounds mean but it's true

[babylonsister]

10. But his music is now classic, so who cares?

He did his stuff, it's indented in our minds forever. Enjoy the old stuff!

9. Love isn't sad

The absence of love is sad.

[babylonsister]

11. Mojambo, that

hurts my heart. You are right, but it sounds so sad.

[Swede]

12. But you know you're alive.

That you care.

13. I agree with other replies: It makes, no enforces, life.

The power of love is just that, power, both negative and positive.

It's neither good, nor bad, it simply is.

I would imagine that ultimately, whether negative or positive, it's in one's power to love that love regardless of it's shading.

14. Ehhh? Not getting this... but it's getting late here also,,, bye,
