Is it better to have never known something than to have known something and to ultimately lose it later?

      I feel that it is better to have known something than to have known something and lose it later. Although this way, we would feel the heartache of losing the something we used to know, the happiness felt during this period of knowing that something is quite likely to be more than the heartache felt.
      I used to keep hamsters at home. There were two of them. One was fat while the other was amazingly active. We had a good time together. I played little games with them. They always won, like when I played "Who can crack open the sunflower seed first?" with them. They won and I rewarded them with two more sunflower seeds. I also brought them around my house. This experience is one in a lifetime. There is only a slight possiblility of encountering another hamster just as cooperative, just as fun to play with out there in the vast world. My beloved hamsters died one day. It died of old age. Though it is heartbreaking to lose a being I cared so much about, I still had a good time with it and I am sure they had a good time too. I always recall the times I spent with my hamsters with a smile on my face. I think of it positively. We all had a good time.
      It is better to have known something than and lose it in the end only if you think of your experience positively. Otherwise, it is best to keep safe and not know anything which you stand a high chance losing in the end as it may affect your life greatly.
