To feel such great joy leaves us open to feel equally great sorrow. That roller coaster of emotion we become more acclimated to each passing year. To understand human behavior does not much lessen the ouch-ness of things, but it can lessen the panic, the dramatic response. I wonder if we’d choose ignorance of the science of the heart and mind if it brought back faith in romance and love.
