Whenever I hear that quote it always makes me a little sad. I had just finished going through my first real relationship and the words struck me as to how I was feeling. I did cry a little, but it was because of that quote which helped me go full circle. What I had had was gone, and as much as I thought about wanting to be in the relationship again, I knew it would never happen. That point in my life was over, though sometimes there is pain, but it has gotten much weaker for me over time.
I feel it comes down to the individual. Some pain in life can never be avoided, unless you want to avoid having new experiences and growing/changing as a person, which means you're not really living a life. I've come now to see everything as a change and process. It helps me when things are rough and makes me look better on life when things are going well, too. No sunshine without some rain, even if there's going to be thunderstorms throughout my lifetime.
it IS pretty much the saddest realization ever. No truer words have ever been written, which is why despite other things, I admire Tolkien so much. Some things just get lost forever, whether it was meant to be or not or whether its fair in any way or not. Sometimes it makes me mad that that's the way it's gonna be always, I'm not sure I want to continuously live that, you know?
So how do you take it and keep going without ending up bitter and jaded?
