I believe that the pain we feel when in love is not a coincidence. We feel that pain because the experience we are having is significant. When we are in love we open up to others and give them the chance to hurt us. We put ourselves in a very vulnerable position. If you did not care about the person you were with, or really anything, then they could not hurt you. Love is not easy or anything like what we are brought up on. We hear stories of the perfect romance but once it is time to be in an actual relationship we have to learn that it is not really like that. Love can be difficult and since it is such a significant experience that leaves us vulnerable, the difficulty often brings us pain.

I agree with you when you say that we have pain from love because we are in vulnerable positions. We open ourselves up to another person and if they reject you or hurt you in some other way, you experience pain. Also when you say love is not easy and it isn't like the perfect romance movies. I definitely agree with that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that pain results from us opening up and becoming vulnerable. I also believe that we re brought up on false definitions of what true love is and that to truly understand love you must experience it, not just hear about it. Love is different for everyone and it is because of thsi that i think one can't really judge the idea of love or its aftermath accurately.
ReplyDeleteExamples, Ingrid, examples! Illustrate why your beliefs and thoughts are correct.
ReplyDeleteYou need to convince me the opposing view: that were it not for pain, love would be insignificant.
