To love = then you aren't a grump and know how to be a kind, thoughtful, compassionate, selfless person

Be loved= makes you feel wonderful, and have worth

Both are very important


I think it is better to love because as the law states it will return and from your love spring return love. Same as the opposite... If u chose just to be loved u can never really appreciate it or understand it because you have never loved yourself!
I would choose be loved....even in early development we need that love that nourishment it makes us feel loved appreciated and I feel when kids go unloved they will never learn to love but resent people who do

being loved feels great but giving love makes you and your wife feel great.
I say giving love is better!


To be loved ..


Albus Dumbldore said love is the most powerful magic. If that is true then I we really short change ourselves by not exploiting that for all its worth. That said, I have learned through time that there is no substitute for being truely deeply loved. :-D


It is best to be loved by the one you love.


Love, and n time if u don't rec tht in return, then love it enough to set it free.
Neither they both have to come together

Both. To love without love is very difficult


Both because you gotta give love and receive love


It is better to love because that is Somethibg that you are in control of


To love, since u let go of ego to allow that wall to come down.


both b/c you have to be able to feel it as well as receive it


Beiden. Er is niets mooier dan liefhebben en als je dan nog eens terug geliefd wordt dan is het plaatje pas compleet!


To be loved: we love because He first loved us - 1 john 4:19


Better to love. It's good to love. But then again, I don't think I deserve to be loved.
