The Pain Of Love. Why?

reply to post by ghaleon12

I think love, in order for it to last and be strong, needs to be always detached. Some people will inevitably bring in past experiences to their new relationship, and they won't be able to put 100% love in because of the hurt from their prior attachment.

Could not have said it better myself.

If not for the pain of love, where would music and art and literature be? That said, frustrated expectations fuel the kind of passion that we've decided to call true love. We are carnal beasts, and yet, every now and then we experience a spasm of real love - compassion and empathy are two words we use for this kind of weakness and societal disfunction - which passes quickly and then we're back to being in love with whom and what makes us feel wonderful and special.

Times come and times go, people change and sometimes they remain the same. But in the end all things must end...hope your new found love lasts a lifetime.
