Why is it hard to let go of pain?

I realize that, on balance, I’ve had a pretty good life.  There hasn’t been a lot of pain and loss.  Still, I find that it’s very hard to let go and move beyond the things that have hurt me… insults hurled at me in high school, unrequited loves, lost friendships, etc.  Why is it so hard to let go of pain?  Is it, as was said by Captain Kirk in Star Trek V, our pain that makes us who we are?  Or is it that we never really get over pain?  Discuss…
