  • Horrible things will inevitably happen in life and sadly you will lose loved ones, but that's no reason to deprive yourself of the chance to meet and form relationships with people that could make you happier than you can ever imagine. The good times, however plentiful or rare, will help you to get through those bad times.

    • I never said that I didn't want to meet anyone. I'm just saying that if I KNEW that I would lose them tragically, then I would rather never meet them.

      I am aware that all people will eventually die. I don't consider it tragic if they die a natural death. For example, my grandmother passed away and though it was sad, I have no regrets about meeting her. What I meant is that if there is no closure, like that of Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance.

      • Sorry, perhaps I didn't address the question very well. However, I still believe even losing someone and having no closure is better than denying yourself the chance to get to know them. If they end up becoming an important part of your life then of course it will hurt all the more when you lose them, but the time you spent together will also be that much more important and precious to you. They could influence the very nature of your character in ways that will remain present long after they are gone.

        I don't really know how else to word it. Losing someone sucks and obviously much more so if there is foul play involved or the events or there death are unknown to you. You could deny yourself that pain by never knowing them but you would also deny yourself the joy that getting to know them could bring you. Personally, I think the good outweighs the bad.

        I apologize if I still don't grasp the question
