Love is Painful

It is said that, it’s such a nice feeling that you are be loved by somebody and love somebody. It’s a mixed emotion of excitement and joy. But how love becomes painful?
It’s true that if you feel in love, you are like floating in air. Everything you do seem to be very simple and fun, because you’re deeply inspired. However, love is painful in a way that that you love somebody and he damped you. Love is painful because it creates the way for bliss. Love is painful because it transforms; love is mutation. Each transformation is going to be painful because the old has to be left for the new. The old is familiar, secure, safe, the new is absolutely unknown. You will be moving in an uncharted ocean. You cannot use your mind with the new; with the old, the mind is skillful. The mind can function only with the old; with the new, the mind is utterly useless.
Hence, fear arises, and leaving the old, comfortable, safe world, the world of convenience, pain arises.
