Why?

[learnteach]

The question that always arises at the end of any event (life event as opposed to social event, I'm pretty clear on social events) is Why? It's strange, how deep this question can take you. It's where the human ability to phantasy the future spins out the strongest, as you build various "Because" possibilities going back into hazy memory or forward into relived feared horror.

And the question usually resolves as, "Why does this hurt so?"

"Because."

Because.

[madbaker.livejournal.com]

Because we care. Because we're human and we invest our feelings trying to make relationships work. And when they don't, we pull back our scorched fingers from the fire, muttering "never again", knowing that we lie as we do so.

Which doesn't make it hurt any less.
