Now that my head is screwed on better than it has been the past couple of days, I can actually make a coherent response. If I had replied before it wouldn't have been pretty.
For the most part I hold the statement to be true. As I look back over my life, most of my relationships have, for a time, brought joy to my life and although some of them have not ended well, the pain was worth the joy that proceeded it. I can honestly say that there is only one relationship that I fully regret to the point of saying that I wish I had never met the person. Each relationship has had it's lessons to be learned (some years later) that have made me who I am today.
I can honestly say that the bad endings to a couple of relationships (one in particular) have made me a bit gun shy. Finding out that someone has used, and lied to you for an extended time can tend to have that affect on people.

It's a common phrase. But is it true, in your opinion? Do you wish that you had never met the person that it most hurt to lose?
Do those who say "no" believe it may lead you to treasure love all the more should it happen again? Or will you fear it?
