Connections, do some of them die?

I feel the definite answer to that question is no, some do not while some do. And when they do not, they come back with quite the rush. It is nice as a solitary event, and nothing more. If one considers it anything other than that, pain follows no matter what. That is also not to say that the other person has feelings, only if it is mutual as to the happenings. This allows both people to be used as means but as ends in themselves. Go Consequentialism, go! I never thought what Wheeler said in philosophy would get put to use so much by myself. Oh well, it makes things much easier to look at objectively I suppose. Back to the discussion at hand, it does not matter to me if some do die, those are usually the ones that are not as fulfilling. The ones that do not though, those can be rewarding or just make you feel good for a moment. For me, last night makes me feel good. If that is the end of it, I had something for a moment, and I thoroughly enjoy that fact. If there is some more to happen, I do not oppose the idea at the moment. This is taking into account if things are kept as they are, no surprises although being prepared for such is a must.
One of my motto is; "Prepare for the worst, do not assume until it is for certain, hope for the best." I suppose in some ways, I like limiting pain. No I am not a pansy and feel the need to run, I just prefer to limit it. Who the hell wouldn't want to? And that pain can be emotional, physical or anything. I prefer happiness, as does anyone who is sane, but the two do come hand in hand and I accept that. The other motto I use would be;"Do you have your health? Is the sun rising? If the answer is yes, to both then it is a good day indeed. If the answer is yes to only the latter, take the steps to make your health better, you saw the sun rise once more. Also make something of your time that you have and be happy.
