Since without these trials in life, one will never know what happiness is when one doesnt felt pain and sadness, one will never know what comfort is when he doesnt met hardships, one will never feel grief and sorrow when he had never lost a loved one.So in that perspective, Alfred concluded that " 'Tis better to love and lost than never to have loved at all"...one has to accept the experiences in life and learn from it for it will enable one to live life to the fullest...
