I have come to understand, in this current affair of philosophical ponderings, that in life you will come across certain people and that the ties between you will vary depending on many factors. This is why we are often impacted so greatly (grief) by the loss of that connection (the cut that unties the bind) and so on and so forth. This is why divorces are always so devastating, and breakups all the same. Never mind you death.
Everything in life has to be fought hard for. There are no guarantees. This applies to love as well. That’s why nothing good can come cheap. Nothing quick and easy ever satisfies. Love will test you time and time again to see if you are worthy. Because it is the essence of the fruit of life.
