^ratbastid speaks wisely, as usual

it's like saying, I won't do anything in my life that is risky because there will be pain of some sort involved. We might as well just die already.

Love may hurt, but I'd take that hurt every day over being alone my entire life with no-one to share any physical or emotional intimacy of that kind with.

Pain is a way of knowing you're alive...fear can be overcome. And you can learn from the hurt...or you can dwell in it forever like this guy.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
