I think by far, the hardest pain to bear is to pine for someone. Pine : to yearn intensely and persistently especially for something unattainable.
The focus here is on two words. Intensely and unattainable.
Intensely : existing in an extreme degree. To do anything intensely just doesn't seem right. To love intensely, you may end up hurting yourself. To hate intensely, you may end up committing murder. To work intensely, you may end up married to your job. To miss intensely, you may end up murdering yourself. And THAT, I consider the worst form of intensely ever.
Unattainable : not achievable. Somehow this doesn't sound all that heart-warming either. "Mummy, can I have some candy? - No." - unattainable, thus sad. "Hopes to achieve 100/100. Results: 90/100." - unattainable, thus sad. "Hopes to come out tops in the swimming competition. Results: 2nd." - unattainable, thus sad. "Can you love me? - No." - unattainable, thus sad. And That, I too consider the worst form on unattainable ever.
God taught us to miss, to yearn, to want. All in a great effort to teach us to stand stronger on our two chicken feet.
