Hedgehog's dilemma

Whenever it reaches winter, hedgehogs instead of gathering around to keep themselves warm, puts themselves far away from one another, bracing the grim cold on their on.

The reason is not because they don't want to, but instead, because they can't. The more they try to hug one another to keep themselves warm, the more their spikes pierce through their loved ones, and ironically, in exchange for love and warmth, they end up killing the very ones they wished to protect.

Human relationships, are the same too. People, in fear of receiving and afflicting pain too, are held back in opening their hearts, and loving the ones they treasure with everything they have. With this, they walk away from those they love, and isolate themselves in a space that is void of not only pain and agony, but also happiness.

However, love's not like that. The 'spikes' that pierces our loved ones are but a shell, that all humans carry, a 'shield' to protect our hearts from getting hurt, one that afflicts pain to aggressors, keeping them away. In actuality, the problem is not with intimacy, that we get so close and tear each other apart, no - the problem is that people, are so afraid of hurt, that the only way they can avoid it is to hurt others, which in turn, hurts themselves even more.

Love ain't just about loving someone, it's about trust. Breaking out of your shell, and believing that the other party won't do anything that would cause you pain or agony.

But it's not as easy as it seems. Cos' in such a world that we live in, people are too afraid to open up their hearts, and the cycle of pain just goes on again. After all, we all are slaves of the fear of agony.
