Question B

I think that it's obvious to say that the only reason why break-ups and "heartbreak" is so painful because we feel pain, but I don't believe that is completely true. Yes, human beings feel pain therefore many things that we do in life can result in physical or emotional pain, but I think the reason why we feel pain is because the experience that a person may go through is significant. I think it's really the experience that has an impact because not everyone's situation is the same. For some people it may be a break-up with someone whom you have fallen in love with for the first time. Many people will often tell you that they remember their first love because you experience being open and trusting with another person for the first time. Others remember experiences where the person may have treated you badly whether it's physical, emotionally, or just by being unfaithful. It's the experience like many things in life that teach you to hopefully not stay with the same kinds of people. We feel pain because when your in love you have to be open to possibly getting hurt even though you hope you don't. You have to completelylet your guard down and accept the fact that you may get hurt. I personally accept that things may not go like I want them to go and it's okay to feel the pain the comes after because it's just the body's way of dealing with a let down. Even in those relationships where strong feelings may not have developed I think people still take away some kind of message from it.
