Why do we love if we continue to get hurt?
Hope.
Although we repeatedly get scarred from one heart-break to another, we continuously plunge head-first into love.
This is all part of the human desire to give and return love. Although we know in our subconscious that
we are putting our emotions at risk, we continue to go along this path of despair time after time.
Each time, we think to ourselves, "This one will be different. Maybe he will be the one". The key part of this absurd but common thought is the big "Maybe" that lingers in our minds. This returns me to my point: Hope.
Hope is the only thing stronger than fear (possibly love as well, but that is debatable).
We, as humans, hope to find someone to share love with, even though at times we would never admit to anyone, not even ourselves.
But in the end, we push past the pain and most of the time, wind up in a puddle of even more heartbreak than before. We find ourselves in a downward spiral, and the worst part is: The closer we get towards our goal (love), the more it kills us when we lose it. "Back to square one", they say, although I do not believe that this is true.
From losing a potential lover, we are thrusted deep into the caverns of square "-1" (possibly even lower), and have to heave ourselves back up the hole that we dug ourselves into. And after a long-excruciating process, we find ourselves back at square 0, in desperate search to find love once again.
We are addicts.
