WTF?

Ok, so I'm looking over my friend's journals, and I see much agonizing about love lives or lack thereof. Just about no one is safe, apparently. I can't say that none of it'll ever happen to me, but dang, it sure is hitting a lot of people at once. I only wish I could come up with something to reply with that's at least halfway meaningful. Feels like I may as well go ahead and complain too, but I don't want to. Somehow I don't want to.

Of all the things that I can fix, I can't even begin to repair a broken heart.

Re: Broken hearts, disposable hearts

After thinking about it after a few days, I've come to the conclusion that an un-breakable heart wouldn't be worth much. We wouldn't be able to really grow, change, adapt, learn. Ever notice how people with hearts of stone tend to never change? Whereas someone with a heart of quartz (which is most people, and I specify quartz instead of glass) starts off in life awkward, but they get better at caring for others.

It's important for the support mechanism for a heart to grow. A strong heart is necessary to handle the consistently high output to input emotional signal ratio.

Somewhere on my mental control panel, there is a setting for tuning the input/output balance. If the output is set too low, then we appear emotionally greedy, taking much and giving little in return. An alternative to setting input to "Internal Source" is to tune it so the heart doesn't activate itself on emotional static, such as people doing small things for us, although it's important to return such acts of kindness. It's like how on an old TV, if you tune into a channel that's just barely being picked up, you might or might not see or hear a signal coming through, but on a newer TV if it doesn't pick up a strong enough signal, it doesn't bother with putting anything on the screen.

What's important is that we let the world know of our vast potential to love one another, but that it's untapped potential, that to see it's full power and beauty, all that one needs to do is try...

Whenever you find yourself loving another human being though, you open yourself to hurt, pain, suffering. Maybe you could work on a growing heart, without heartbreak...
