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."

Well, I think the first two comments summed things up fairly well, so I'm not going to do a "ditto" response here. When I was a young teenager and suffering from heartbreak, I asked an older friend if such things got easier as one got older. The response was "No, it doesn't hurt any less, but you learn to deal with it better."

Hang in there. Just because it hurts now doesn't mean that it will hurt all the time, and that you should never try again.
