That's absolutely true. We do, however, have control over the sorts of
personal interactions we choose to engage in. The knowledge that being
hurt is worth the advantages doesn't make it hurt any less, but it does
allow you to /choose/ to continue to become intimate with people even
after you've been hurt.
