Found true, genuine love with her. I mean transcendental enlightenment level stuff. The only reason I feared death was because it would take me away from her. We couldn't wait to live and grow old together.

Then she left me. I was clinically depressed for a year. The pain of depression is indescribable. It's like a blackness that attaches itself to your heart and sucks any drop of joy or colour or fulfillment out of every single moment. I hated waking up. A true walking nightmare -- hell on Earth. I still get panic attacks today.

But the entire experience was the transition into the next phase of my life. I'm wiser now, stronger. In that sense I'm grateful for it. But I still can't deny that I hate her for what she did to me; she will never understand. Yet at the same time I am profoundly grateful to her for what she showed me: true love, for maybe the only time in my life. It's funny hating and loving someone at the same time.

Who is smarter?

"It is therefore just as little necessary for the saint to be a philosopher as for the philosopher to be a saint; just as it is not necessary for a perfectly beautiful person to be a great sculptor, or for a great sculptor to be himself a beautiful person. In general, it is a strange demand on a moralist that he should commend no other virtue than that which he himself possesses. To repeat abstractly, universally, and distinctly in concepts the whole inner nature of the world, and thus to deposit it as a reflected image in permanent concepts always ready for the faculty of reason, this and nothing else is philosophy."

-Schopenhauer
