More to it than suffering

First of all I'd like to state this is not some EMO life-upset teenager's blog. I'm as normally different as every other person on this earth, so just read the article and whether you like it or not, it's not my problem, because I'm not writing for you, I'm writing for myself. If by any chance you relate to my words, it's just a coincidence, I'm not as kind as starting a blog to help others feel good about themselves because I'm having it worse,but let's face it, no one actually is, so if you have such an opinion about someone, you're dead wrong. People are selfish beings. They offer their help "unconditionally", but actually they always expect something back. Whether it's for material payment, or a "Thank You" for their own interior peace, people never do anything for anyone but themselves.

Today's post was actually inspired by a friend that called me masochistic the other day. I'm not masochistic, not in a physical way anyway. But let's think this through, aren't we all emotionally masochistic? Think about when you love someone, it really hurts when they break your heart, but that's how you come to know how much you actually cared about them. My guess is that if you never suffer, it means you never loved. You might think, hell I'm happy right now and I love my partner and I never had to suffer for it. Stop lying to yourself! Do you really mean to tell me you never were afraid of the thought that your partner might not love you as much as you love him/her? Or that he/she might not love you at all? If you never asked yourself those questions you either aren't human, or your even more screwed up than I am. And that doesn't apply only for your love life, think about how you would feel when the people you hated the most died, or something bad happened to them, you say to yourself "Whatever! He/she deserved it!" but that is not what you really feel, it's true that a slight relief can be felt somewhere within you, but it's a feeling mixed with pity and regret. It doesn't really matter if you hated them, because all feelings are proof that you do care. Whether it's positive or negative, your feelings prove you actually are human.
