    I think that depends if the person you are falling in love loves you back. If they don't you end up feeling wasted and stupid. Also, falling in love makes you vulnerable since you can be easily manipulated. It's not wrong to fall in love but I don't think it's worth it.

    I think falling in love is very pleasurable yet very selfish. Its the ego attached to the other person and it is very conditional. You could just as easily fall out of love as you fell into it. But your question is is it worth it? That depends on whether it was a positive experience or not. Some people fall in love and let the addiction overtake their lives. Some people fall in love and it saves them. It makes them feel alive for the first time. So it really just depends on each individual experience. For me, falling in love can be a distraction from me loving myself. But its also like drinking soda for the first time after years of only drinking water. Everyone should try it just once lol

    Yes it is. In fact it is the best thing that can ever happen to a human being. They say you are not living if you don't have somebody to die for. Personally am in love with someone who makes me view the world in a whole new different perspective. She gives me the best of desires and takes me high in seventh heaven.

    Yes, it most definately is worth it. I can't imagine my life in the future, (I still haven't found that special someone) without someone I truly love. Whenever I see a couple that is clearly in love, I want it for myself. I think the idea of someone loving you for who you are, with all your flaws is romantic.

    Love is one of the things that hold the world together, so certainly, experiencing it is worth the effort and tears.
    Sometimes it can be painful and can make you do things you weren't comfortable with, but when it hit you hard, it's like a drug that would make you feel much better, happier, and more contented in life.

    Falling in love is worth it and those who say otherwise. are perhaps sour that a relationship took an unexpected turn and life backhanded them across the face. It's difficult to be able to say something is worth it when all it's brought to you is pain and hardship but if that's ALL a relationship brought you, that's not love. Love is good and bad times, hills and mountains, happiness, sadness. highs, lows, it's everything life can offer to you in a certain extent. You shouldn't allow several bad apples ruin the pie but remember that toxic relationships do exist so beware when falling in love.

    Are you implicating that without God, love is not real or true ?

    I think love is the greatest goal everyone should be looking for in his/her life. Imagine that there's someone who's going to be always with you, cares for you and your needs and never let you down, who would say no to that. Life can be really hard sometimes, but if you have someone to fight along with you, then it will be all worth it in the end and that's all what matters.

    Yes it is worth it. Love is the basic reason for human existence. They say you are not living if you don't have somebody to die for, somebody to keep you going in the midst of desperation. That's why love is paramount to all humanity.

    Falling in love with the right person is definitely worth it. But we need to pay attention at what falling in love truly means. It seems that we are a generation that is moving fast forward, we don't take time to analyze some important aspects of our lives. Falling in love involves time, a lot of time spent with that one person. Of course it is all based on the basic physical attraction, but falling in love is a much more complex process. You get to know the other person on a deep level, you learn about their weakness, their soft spots, their habits, their passions, their darkest thoughts. You manage to spend time together and talking to that person becomes a normal part of your day. That's when you start falling in love, when you get attached and when you have the feeling that you want to spend every minute with that one person because it makes you feel so good, confident and alive. And if you give it time, you are patient and you have a bit of luck to fall in love with the right person, I think it's worth it. It was a saying " Sometimes, in the middle of our ordinary lives, love gives us a fairytale". It's a beautiful way to put into words what love really means.

    Absolutely, it is worth it.

    I have always been a skeptic in anything that revolves around Love. In reality the Divorce rates are currently high, the number of broken marriages adds up daily and the rates of dysfunctional relationships still remains higher than the normal ones. And just with that, it was impossible for me not to accept that love will always fail.

    But it wasn't long before that perspective changed. It was just some lines of a quote that changed everything. And this is what was written on those lines:
    "Someone said: Don't fall in love, you might get hurt.
    And the other replied: Don't live, you might die.."

    And when I am afraid of the consequences of love, I think about those lines and add another one:

    Every person has their true love. You might experience heart breaks before you meet the one, the only one for you. Love is unpredictable. You'll never know when and where it will come. And when it comes, take the risk of falling in love. Besides, there's no harm in trying. Don't be afraid to get hurt because it is part of life, it is part of falling in love. I would personally say that falling in love is worth it. To love and be loved is definitely the best feeling.

    It is very much worth it as long as you are falling in love with the right person @sharon254. Many times people give up on love because finding someone with the right moral upbringing is a hard task and that makes people to opt for every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes their way especially when it has reached a state of sheer desperation. Patience and time can be one's best friend especially in finding potential partners.

    Yes! Falling inlove is totally worth everything! Falling inlove is the greatest feeling an individual can have. Yes you may feel all the negative feelings but in the end, if its true love then youll forget the pain and start feeling happy all over again.

    A big YES for that. We really don't know what is the true power of love is, but one thing is for sure, love is definitely one of the wonderful thing that we could experience. Being in love makes us to be more patient, understanding, forgiving, humble, generous, and caring. It is because of love that we are able to endure hardship in life. We learned how to sacrifice, how to give our precious time to other and to let go even or sacrifice the thing that we want just for the sake of our love. That is how amazing love is, It makes us to do things that beyond our thoughts. The more we love, the more we learn how to be selfless. I think many despise love, maybe because of what they experience when they our in love. Many doesn't care about our love for them, and many times, we even don't received a love back from the people we love. We can even experience abandoning by the people we love, which so painful for us. But love is truly amazing, no matter how many times we failed, hurt or even suffer from the love, we still loving and still seeking for love. Keep loving and never get tired of it. Truly falling in love is worth it. For when you are in love, there you can experience wonderful things in your life. I believe that, still love makes the world go round.
