Discussion: Let go or fight for your love?

I've heard different philosophies on love over time.

Some say, "When you love someone, don't give him up without a fight."

While others say, "If you love someone, let him go. If he comes back to you, he's yours forever. If he doesn't, then he was never meant to be."

What do you think?  Should you let the person you love go?  After all, love is not something that can be owned.  You can't keep someone by your side if they don't want to be there.  No one would be happy.  Or should you fight for the person till the end?  You don't get anything until you really go for it.  So if you just give up, isn't that not trusting your love?

Contradictory thoughts... what's your take on it?

My favorite quote of all time is " if you love someone, let them go. If they come back to you, they are yours...if they don't, the never were to begin with"
 
Hmm, I feel there is no point hanging onto someone. It's completely worthless because no matter what you do for the person is completely ignored and left unappreciated.
 
Ofcourse, at first you do feel the urge to fight for your love, to make them yours, to make them love you..but then comes a point when you are completely fed up ... and the best option is to let go and move on.

"If you love someone, let him go. If he comes back to you, he's yours forever. If he doesn't, then he was never meant to be."
 
I agree with this...

It all depends on the situation really. you cant force the person to stay with you. i agree with the quote "If you love someone, let him go. If he comes back to you, he's yours forever. If he doesn't, then he was never meant to be."

but i also believe that you should fight for your love to an extent but not go extreme. Because they might just be gone forever. And if they dont come back atleast you can live with the thought that atleast you tried to make it work instead of regreting about it and thinking of "what ifs" :)

As some persons have stated, you can't force someone to love you or to stay with you. This point can be explained in a way I understand. The reason I want to be in a relationship is because I want to improve my capability to love or in otherwords, I want to improve my capabilities of being a more caring, compassionate, gentle , tender and understanding person towards a partner. The first person I am to love is myself and this love I radiate to my girlfriend. But if she doesn't feel like loving me back, I have no way to force her to love me. It is possible because of her false beliefs, she is not prepared to reciprocate my love. Then what is the option I have? I have to let her go. I don't feel I can fight for my love because that way I will never have peace. Definitely I am a caring, compassionate, gentle, tender and understanding person and the woman who finds this will love me. If someone doesn't see these qualities in me, I am prepared to let her go.

Good Luck to you all in love,.
