We go through our days and nights alone. Sometimes we are alone by choice and sometimes by chance. Sometimes we are alone physically while sometimes we are alone among people. We yearn to love. We yearn to be loved.
If love is such an important part of our lives, why do we push it away? Why do we hurt the ones who love us? I know the saying is technically, "Why do we hurt the one's we love," but that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about the time's when we hurt the people who look after us and work for our happiness. Why do we do that?
I think that sometimes we don't realize who loves us and who doesn't. That seems like the easiest answer to me. We don't trust most people and are so wrapped up in our own lives that we don't even realize who is trying to help us and who isn't. Forget about the fact that they love us.
Another reason we may hurt the one's who loves us is because we don't want them to love us. Sometimes we just don't want to, or can't love someone, so we push them away. I think it's silly to say you can't love someone because there is a difference between loving and being in love. Love is a choice, not a feeling. You choose to treat someone well it doesn't just happen. So pushing someone away just seems like an easy way to not have to deal with it.
So why do we hurt them? Is causing pain a way to see how long the person can keep taking hits before giving up? Like a test? I don't know, but if you do that kind of stuff, stop it's not cool. Don't push the people who love you away. If they really love you they may give you some good old tough love and you'll find yourself alone, but maybe that's what you need. Maybe you need to know what it's like to be hurt, so you'll think twice about doing it again next time. Love hurts enough already so don't cause any more pain than already needed.
