After great things happen, bad stuff more than likely will follow. It isn't because we're pessimists or because we're horrible people (I hope)...it's because that's the way our minds work. Weeks of being so happy and everything feeling so right - you reach the peak of it all, everything is amazing...then...POOF. It's all gone. Something makes all the good disappear and replaces it with paranoia, fatigue, sadness. We didn't do anything to make this happen, we just continued what we were doing before. It's because of the sense of disappointment we all feel. Things can't ever be too good...we always have to find some bad in the good...then we feast upon it.
We live for the things that can go wrong. When we see it, we point it out - dwell upon it. We like to constantly remind ourselves that one particular thing (large or small) is a weakness, is a problem - la mouche dans l'onguent. It is like a disease, spreading across our thoughts, clouding out vision of what once was amazing. We stop giving a shit about the great things and focusing all out attention on the bad.
That's when we stop being happy. That's when we forget to focus. That's when relationships we build diminish right before our eyes.
That's why we can't fall in love.
