Masochism

Humans are innately masochistic. My best example is this; when there is something stuck in your eye, why do you feel the need to stick your finger in there too? I mean you've got something microscopic in there that hurts like a b*tch, so you shove something a thousand times bigger in there and expect it to get better? Its like shoving salt in an open wound. The sad thing is that people do the same thing after breakups and unrequited love. You keep looking at their myspace or their facebook or whatever, you listen to sad songs that remind you of them or you read the bulletins and surveys posted by them or the people you know they like to see what they are saying. And the sad thing is, even though it hurts to se what is said, we keep doing it. We go back day after day to see what else is there, what new thing has been said. Its a depressing truth. People thrive off of pain.

You know how to feel then"- 'Right as Rain' by Adele
