Hurt and Love

People can only hurt you emotionally proportionate to how important they are to you. That's why people we love can hurt us so much.

But no matter how much you love them, or they love you, everyone in the end is responsible for the pain they have caused.

Peoples' actions can cause you great emotional anguish too; murderers and other criminals do this to people. But imagine if the murderer were someone the victim's family was once close friends with? While being strangers does not lessen the hurt, knowing them would add another dimension to it; someone who you love is capable of hurting you in ways a stranger is not.
