Libba BrayOne could argue that it's romantic to die for love. Of course, then you're dead and unable to take that honeymoon trip to the Alps with all the other fashionable young couples, which is a shame.
About This Quote
Many people believe that dying for love is romantic. This is partly because it is sweet to believe that the other person will be with you forever. However, dying for love can be tragic if the other person does not feel the same way. Dying for love also means having someone else's death on your conscience. Although this can cause great suffering, it can also lead to great generosity if you can reach out to others who are suffering just as much.
