To truly understand the answer to this question, we have to specify that the pain is limited to emotions, or if it is something more. True love, the kind romanticized by so many, is the kind that makes your stomach hurt or your tongue swell. To more accurately answer the question; we feel pain because the experience is significant, it is no fluke. True love is finding your significant other and giving yourself completely up to them, leaving no armor. While I have never experienced it myself, I have no way of proving it exists, but I have felt pain in terms of knowing who I belong with. The only problem is, if this is the perfect love, why should there even be a prospect of pain? Shouldn't the desire never be to hurt one another? The pain is synonimous to being in love. We take the chance of being hurt when we choose love. And while we never mean to inflict pain, it is inevitable. We cant help ourselves, but men are from mars and woman are from venus, and that naturally leads to tension.

I agree, pain is synonymous to being in love because it is a hero-villain relationship. You can't have one without the other, that is part of human nature.
ReplyDeleteI like how you bring up the question of why love and pain are interconnected. Now I'm left wondering, "Is it possible to have love without pain?"
ReplyDeleteYou seem to suggest that pain experienced with love is inflicted by the other person. Is that really accurate? Don't we often inflict the pain on ourselves?
