If ''k<sub>1</sub>'' was positive or if ''k<sub>2</sub>'' was a large value, the value of ''dPain/dt'' would approach zero. Ideally, ''k<sub>1</sub>'' would be "How much she's in my life"/''Pain'' (we assume both these values are positive), while ''k<sub>2</sub>'' would ideally be extremely large. Either of these scenarios approach what would be a situation where the value of ''dPain/dt'' is close to zero. But we don't know the meaning of ''k<sub>1</sub>'' or ''k<sub>2</sub>''; these variables are just unpredictable.
