Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? This is a great question because we, as a society, make falling in love the best thing that could ever happen until it happens and causes more destruction than happiness. Falling in love is great when two people are on the same page and they both have the same goals. The destruction happens when one person makes the other person a priority and that person only sees you as an option. Ruby had made men a priority, but felt as though she had found love and all her searching was over. It seemed as it was until Fred, her prince charming, seemed to be like every other man she had ever met. So, going down the ladder of love is much more painful for Ruby than climbing the ladder.
