Many people try their hand at the former. Some people choose the latter. And the rest of us are, unfortunately, occupying the latter state due to lack of applicable mates, personal issues, etc,.
Why do you see it as so black and white? It is anything but.
I believe in some circles, this should be indicated with a *WHOOSH*. As in, it flew right over your head.
To rephrase into simpler terms -
1. Love is risk.
-- Worst case: you lose your life due to something going terribly wrong.
-- Best case: it's heaven.
-- Real world case: between the two.
2. If you're not playing the 'love' game, you have no risk, but no rewards as well.
3. Playing the love game and not playing the love game are binary states.
-- So black/white applies quite well here.
