It's basic human nature
We crave for things we can't have
We desire for things that we know will destroy us
And yet we do everything we can to try and obtain those things
This particular trait of humans has always baffled me
This insatiable appetite for self-destruction
May be we seem to derive some sort of pleasure from this
Or may be it's like an addiction
And we can't just can't seem to help it
For instance consider this--
You know you can't trust someone
You know that the person will cheat on you at every opportunity
He has done that in the past
And yet you keep holding on to him
'Coz a part of your heart keeps hoping that he will love you and stay loyal to you
Or it could be another case
You both know the relationship isn't going anywhere
You've both made efforts and it still hasn't worked out
And yet you keep dragging it
Hoping that things will change
Only that they never do
