Is it pathetic?

Is it pathetic to have one way love?

Let's set up the scenario: One single person claims to be in love with another who doesn't love them back, or even really care. So, the "lover" in this case believes that they are thouroughly happy with loving someone and not being loved back. First off, this just doesn't make sense to me whatsoever; I understand that love has mystical powers (or so i hear) but how could one possibly be content with loving and not being loved back? In my opinion the person who has made themself believe that they do, indeed, love this other figure is fooling themselves. And if not fooling, they're causing themselves pain by being stuck on this one person that they claim to love, whom will never love them in return. Don't be hung up on one person if you know for a fact it won't ever work, there's no point. Move on, and meet someone who you'll love and will love you back. I gaurantee the feelings will be so much more meaningful. Therefore, I believe it IS pathetic to love someone who won't love you back. It's sad, and largely depressing if anything.
