Feelings exist to be hurt?

[RandomGuy1030]

The only way to stop hurting is to stop feeling. replacing bad thoughts with positive thoughts will never end the pain.

Nah feelings can hurt, but also the best feelings too. If I couldn't feel anything I'd fucking.. stop. I guess. Even really bad feelings are better than NOTHING. But then I've only ever felt nothing maybe twice in my life. Maybe if it happened for longer than a day, you get used to it? But no I don't think so. Bad can last a long time and you never get used to it. I don't think I'd get used to none either. Good is good, and bad is bad but at least it's something. Sometimes yeah i wish I could feel nothing more often. But actually remember what that was like, I don't want it. Just hold on for the bad to go away. It goes away for me eventually even if I have to make it sometimes. It gets better with practice but mostly w good people instead of bad. Good people help a shit lot.

The poet Rod McKuen once wrote that

"It’s nice sometimes
to open up the heart a little
and let some hurt come in.
It proves you’re still alive."
