I do not believe that the emotional pain felt along with love is a coincidence, I think that the pain is a direct result of the love and we feel pain because the experience is significant. I believe that most times, emotional pain is a result of opening oneself up completely and making oneself vulnerable. We are only hurt emotionally by other people when we allow ourselves to be, when we give others the power to hurt us. If you never really cared much about anything, you would never really be hurt, but since love is such a significant experience, allowing one to open up and feel strongly about something or someone, that person is subjecting themselves to pain.

I agree with you when you say "that the pain is a direct result of the love and we feel pain because the experience is significant". I feel that the experience itself is necessary in order to feel the pain.
ReplyDeleteLily, you write "I believe" and "I think" without exploring why you believe what you believe or think what you think. Examples needed.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to say being in love is a choice, and we can control it. That seems to say we can control our feelings for someone else. Is that what you mean?
