Alls never fair in love and war

So i am in psych and i have studied the field for the last 14 years. We understand the basics of neurological functioning and cognitive processes but we don't truly understand what emotions are. We know how they are produced but we don't know why.

So what do we know about feelings that we have towards people we like and to a further extent love?

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOTHING!!!!

I can rationalize why i am no longer with a person all i want but the fact remains that my feelings are still there. I understand that the feelings will fade and things will change eventually but i don't think they really do. I think they are masked with other things that come into our lives. One doesn't simply move on to someone else and something new. Of course in that moment you would want to have sex with someone just to feel wanted or do something to feel something but that is simply a temporary band-aid to the real problem of avoiding the feelings you have.



Does this truly apply? Because when one love all rime and reason go out the window and you are driven by pure emotion. One does not fear losing as it is fears feeling the loss.
