"Do you love me because I'm beautiful,
or am I am beautiful because you love me?" ~ Oscar Hammerstein, II
"Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...
You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." ~ in Sandman: The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaiman

You love someone because she is beautiful in your eyes; she thinks she is more beautiful than she really is because you love her......
Love is a risky poker game, esp when a conservative non-player get addicted....
After some wins & some loses, she realises that she should enjoy the game as much as she can though she may be the big loser at the end of the game......because she is already,a player.
Even if she is designated to lose, what she can choose is, to be a gd loser or a cheap loser. She can be a gd loser and consider herself playing a gd game or she can be a cheap loser, who hates the game, hates every player and hates herself.
She will be a gd loser with dignity; she will respect every player, play every game with all her heart and sincerity......
When someone wins, another has to lose. Always been interested in economics and finance but nv touch it since poor in english,if my loss poses as a greater gain to others, the utility is higher and i may be a happy loser in the end.. The winners loser, and the losers winners paradox is somewhat similar to that in the concept of auction
I cried when I read this entry...
Love can be so beautiful yet hurting at the same time. Then why do we still want to fall in love? It's because the very experience of being in love makes us completely alive again...
Being the only player that has only one outcome and that is to lose, i can only carry on losing in the game... and play it out with all my heart and sincerity
