the hurts of love

08.12.2025

S: You can’t defend yourself from the hurts of love. Even if you prepare yourself.

A: Too true.

S: Nothing can be too true. The other thing about the hurts of love is that you cannot avenge them.

A: What do you mean?

S: This one, they broke my heart. They tricked me. And there is nothing I can do about it.

A: Rage away. There is no harm in it.

S: I do rage. I am still angry.

A: The beloved can get away with deceit, lie upon lie, indifference, betrayal…

S: If they do that, you remove yourself from them.

A: By then, they have trapped you.

S: I am free from the trap.

A: Are you?

S: There is always another for a heart full of bravery and love.

A: The one you have freed yourself from?

S: Some other will suffer from them. I have had a lucky escape. They do not have a heart. History will  know their evil. Because in this story, I am the hero. I write the story and therefore I am the victor. I won the game. I did not submit to their demands. I set the conditions. I returned their rejection with interest. They know. They lost.

A: Was it just a game?

S: Not a game, THE Game. The most serious one. The one where you stake everything. And I won.
