Why oh why do people want to be in relationships? The pain I'm seeing some of my friends go through now over relationships ending is so bad that no benefit can possibly be worth the anguish.
no!! that's the whole point of relationships -- life sucks, life is suffering, so all we can do is try our best to create enough love to make it bearable. so yeah, relationships ending can be awful and all that, but that's suffering which you have to expect. everything ends, and if you're attached to something finite then eventually you'll be disappointed.
