On the wings of Furies

The most complex of human emotions cannot be defined in the course a single discussion. If you have never experienced it then it is unlikely that you will grasp what it means to be in love. Many, many people have tried over the course of human history to explain the concept have love and thus far few have come close.

It is an unpleasant feeling to know the one you love does not, or appears to not, return them. I have been in that unenviable position at least once. It doesn't get any easier but the ache eventually fades.

A good friend of mine is in the middle of experiencing this. If he's reading this and I hope he is, I can only repeat what I said; it is better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all. You cannot ignore the feelings you have, only learn to cope with them as best you can.

We're all human after all and without emotions, especially love, we would be less than we could be.

Alex.
