The answer? Gravity!

I have no idea why people are still okay with loving and then letting go rather than not loving at all. Despite having the intellect to bring about tremendous scientific achievements, why is it that man falls for this soul-intoxicating emotion called love when it's so painful once its over? Obviously, the cherishable memories that moments in love gives us is something that can be treasured for life. However, the pain of having let gone presides over all those warm memories and inevitably puts you in grief every time you recall the experience. Does the pain subside with time? Maybe. Does it fully disappear with time? No, it doesnt. It probably goes numb but that's as far as it goes. When they say 'Time heals', remember, a healed wound doesn't always return back to the way things were before the injury. It just seems better superficially but if you open it up and explore the wound far enough, you just might hit the same level of pain you once felt. Yet, consiously or subconsiously, man continues to fall in love. Newton defines gravity as being "the force that causes any two objects in the universe to be drawn to one another". I wonder if the so-called "apples" he based his theory on were actually just people....people that were madly in love.
