is it stupid to fall in love or to catch feelings in general?

I know that one can't control it...but given the amount of pain we all go through because of love, doesn't it make more sense to only have no strings attached relationships or at least live a polyamorous lifestyle so that one does not get too pre-occupied with a single individual?

Love magnifies everything, including pain. Pain is unavoidable. We are here to experience life.

“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.” Aeschylus
