Strangely, and maybe sadly, hurt is the one feeling everybody knows, can relate to and can relive if wanted. Hurt helps us to learn, that's why our brain remembers it more clearly (and much much longer) than happiness. It prevents us from making the same mistakes over and over again, at least that's the plan.
Sad but true.
I wish I could find essays about it. *laughs* It's just so damn interesting. Especially since I read through the Chuck Palahniuk books!
